Saying "You've brown eyes" "We've grey hair" etc is VERY outdated English to the point of being nonsense speak.
I've walked = perfectly okay. a verb follows. I've eaten = perfectly okay. a verb follows I've cats = you're retarded. that is a noun. I've ten fingers = retarded. a quantifier(adjective)
have is only a contraction in the verbal form. only a verb or adverb should follow.
unless you want to sound like eurotrash your entire life.
Leo Ortiz
agreed. you can use the contraction on pronouns following a verb that has a past tense and not really much else
Jordan Thomas
kæk, you actually made a thread about it
Oliver Ramirez
Why can't you say >I've 10 cats That doesn't make sense to me
Austin Diaz
i think I have is proper if what comes after is a number everything else can get contracted ezpz
Nicholas Baker
But I've is literally I have, that's what I don't understand
Connor Cruz
Ive grown up speaking English
i wouldn't say I have grown up speaking English, sounds dumb
Logan Jackson
For most people, to say that would be a lie. Lying is bad.
Oliver Robinson
"Have" is two different verbs in english. One means "to posses" and the other is a 'helping verb' that indicated the tense of the primary verb.
The contraction is not for "to posses." The contraction is for the verb tense.

You're ignoring our tense rules. I've only works past or cyclic-phased present tense

Brandon Walker
I sincerely hope this isn't a problem. People don't speak like that. D-Do they?
Nathaniel Reed
Who fucking cares, variation in accent and dialect is a defining feature of the English language.
Kevin Mitchell

I've could live with this
Jose Gray
Don't listen to these spergs. If you've mastered English to where you care about what they're talking about, you're an ace.
Anyway, these all sound British to me. If Brits don't get to define proper English use I don't know who does.

>That doesn't make sense to me Haven't you been taught English every fucking year since the third grade? I have, so get a fucking grip.
Gavin Adams
