Common errors in English: Usage of Have something

Have something

Incorrect : She has got blue eyes. 

Correct : She has blue eyes.

Note: "Get" means "to acquire'. So "have/has got” should not be used unless the intended meaning is "have/has acquired'. You can say:

He has got his reward at last.

However, in British conversational English the sentence "She has got blue eyes' is perfectly alright, although American English does not allow it at all. Even in British conversational English 'got' is not used in past tense forms. For example:

Incorrect : She had got blue eyes. 
Correct : She had blue eyes.
