II. Replacement with the Main Verb

There are four Verbs that are replaced with HAVE, because their use with HAVE sounds better. Moreover, the use of such verbs directly leaves sometimes very awkward impression. So it is supposed better to replace those action verbs with HAVE

These verbs are:-

c. Take

d. Keep

a. EAT

I EAT 2 apples daily.

I HAVE two apples daily.

b. DRINK

I drink a glass of milk each night before sleeping.

I HAVE a glass of milk each night before sleeping.

Remember:

Drink is often used in a sense of having alcohol .

As a result, doesn’t leave a very good impression. So ,

it’s always better to use HAVE for ‘ drinking water or

drinking any  beverage.

c. TAKE

You can TAKE  my pen .

You can HAVE  my pen.

d. KEEP

You always KEEP your home clean.

You always HAVE your home clean.

e. BATH/SHOWER

 Go and BATH . You have returned from a long journey. ( Verb )

 Go and HAVE bath. You have returned from a long journey. ( Noun)

NOTE: In sentence one BATH is a verb while in the second sentence BATH is used as a Noun.

III. AS AN AUXILIARY VERB FOR EMPHASIZING OR HIGHLIGHTING SOME ABSTRACT NOUNS
