Dear. teachers.<br/><br/>I found the following sentence from one of my Enilgish book. <br/><br/>"You've ahead of me there"<br/><br/>I thought 'You've' is 'You have'.<br/><br/>However ' you are ahead of me' is more acceptable than the original sentence to me.<br/><br/>I don't know exactly why 'have' is used instead of 'is'.<br/><br/>the original sentence is weird to me. <br/><br/>because I haven't seen that 'have' was followed by adverb. <br/><br/>can someone help me to solve the problem about the original sentence? <br/><br/>thank you in advance.
