Use of 'having'
Hi
The use of having is VERY common in Indian everyday English, even in formal writing. Could you please tell me how you find the following sentences?
1) Sorry, I can't come. We are having our examinations/tests.
2) I think, she is having a temperature/fever. She looks very down.
3) We are having a lot of rains this week.
4) We are having some beautiful weather these days.
5) I've been having recurrent nightmares after the incident.
6) I'll talk to you later. I'm having food at the moment. (telling someone on the phone)
Thanks,
Tom
