English Newbie : *He is ***

Are the following sentences correct?

He is having $ 100.
I am having $ 100.

Is, "He has got $100" correct version?

Thanks MrP in advance.

He's not in right now, Paddy. May I help you? The continuous is incorrect.

  • He's not in right now, Paddy.
  • May I help you?
  • The continuous is incorrect.
  • The verb 'have' when it means 'possess' does not use this aspect, but rather the simple tense: 'He has $100' or 'he has got $100'.
  • These are correct.
