Negative form:
| Io non ho | I have not |
| Tu non hai / Lei non ha | You have not |
| Lui non ha | He has not |
| Lei non ha | She has not |
| Esso non ha | It has not |
| Noi non abbiamo | We have not |
| Voi non avete | You have not |
| Loro non hanno | They have not |
Remember! Unlike English, in which "not" is placed after the forms of "to have", in Italian "non" is added before the forms of "avere" ( see also the present tense of the verb "to be": negative form ).
In the singular and third person plural the letter "h" is written (but not pronounced) to distinguish:
| ho | from | o (or), |
| hai | ai (to the) | |
| ha | a (to) | |
| hanno | anno (year) |
