When have is used as an ordinary verb, we make questions and negatives with do. When have is used as an auxiliary verb, we do not use do to make questions and negatives.

Study the examples given below.

She has a daughter.

Does she have a daughter?

She does not have a daughter.

She has accepted the offer.

Has she accepted the offer? (NOT Does she have accepted the offer?)

When have is used with got, questions and negatives are normally made without do.
