Comment on Comparison of Adjectives by tutor

Major and minor are no longer used as comparative adjectives. They are now used like positive adjectives. There is no comparative or superlative form.

What are the positive and superlative degrees of ‘major’ and ‘minor’? Thank you in advance for your time.

No, I didn’t forget to add got. Both have and have got can be used to talk about ideas such as possession and relationships. However, the form without got is more formal than the form with got.

Compare:
Have you an appointment? (Formal British English)
Have you got an appointment? OR Do you have an appointment? (US / GB)

Honestly, I don’t think that it makes a lot of difference. The general verb do is the same as the general purpose do.

Do you mean “The general verb do has several uses.” instead of “The general purpose do has several uses.”?

In your sentence: “Have you a pen?” Isn’t it right to say “Have you got a pen?” Maybe you forgot to put the verb “got”.
