‍Joe: Phew, why are you in such a bad mood?
‍Lisa: Well, I went to the bank because I couldn’t make any transactions with my phone.
‍Joe: Ah, and could you fix it?

‍Lisa: Don't give me that!

Vocabulary and Grammar

Have got

“Have got” is a structure of the Present Perfect verb tense, but it’s used in the Present as an alternative to “have”. For some reason, the longer version is more used, even and perhaps more in informal settings.

She has two children.

I don't have a car.
I haven't got a car.

Do you have any money?

Could

“Could” is a modal verb, which means that it’s used to alter the meaning of the verb that follows. It can be used to make polite and formal requests, to express a past ability or to say that something may or may not happen, a future possibility.
