I've is the short form of I haveI've是I have的縮寫。The mark ' shows that ha has been taken out那個撇號'表示ha被拿掉了。It does two jobs, and both are real它有兩種功用，而且兩種都是真的常用。

First, I have as a helper before another verb, to talk about life up to now: I've seen that film; I've lived here two years. In speaking, this I've is what you will hear.

First, I have as a helper before another verb, to talk about life up to now第一，I have當作助動詞放在另一個動詞前面，用來講到現在為止的經歷：I've seen that film; I've lived here two yearsI've seen that film; I've lived here two years（我看過那部電影；我住這裡兩年了）。In speaking, this I've is what you will hear說話時聽到的I've大多是這一種。

Second, I have meaning “I own / I hold”: I've a question. Though actually, that bare I've + thing is more British and a bit old-fashioned. Younger speakers, and almost all American speakers, say I've got a question or I have a question instead.

Second, I have meaning "I own / I hold"第二，I have意思是「我擁有／我有」：I've a questionI've a question（我有個問題）。Though actually, that bare I've + thing is more British and a bit old-fashioned不過其實這種I've直接加東西的用法比較英式，也有點老派。Younger speakers, and almost all American speakers, say I've got a question or I have a question instead年輕的說話者，還有幾乎所有的美國人，會改說I've got a question或I have a question。

I've not and I haven't both exist; I've not sounds more British. None of this is I'm: I've is have, I'm is am.

I've not and I haven't both existI've not和I haven't兩種都存在；I've not sounds more BritishI've not聽起來比較英式。None of this is I'm: I've is have, I'm is am這些都不是I'm：I've是have，I'm是am。
