Grammar
Answering third person possessive "has got"
0 Hello, 02 br
00 As far as I can tell, answering the question "Has she got long hair?" with the response "yes she has/no she hasn't" is gramatically correct, however as a native English speaker this doesn't sound intuitive. I'm inclined to answer with "yes she does/no she doesn't". 02 br
00 I've looked high and low for a grammar rule that supports or refutes this, but haven't had any luck. Could somebody point me in the right direction? 02 br
00 My thinking is that "has" needs to be tied to a possessive, whereas "does" can stand alone. 0-
