下面是一則邀人參加講故事比賽的通告，很引人注目：
“If you have the gift of the gab, you may want to take part in our 'TELL ME A STORY' contest. Be seen, be heard. This is your chance to be creative……”
這句話一開頭就用了一個以動詞帶頭的短語，開門見山，把用意說得清清楚楚。你可能不懂“have the gift of the gab”的真義，但從上下文看，也可以猜到這句話是“能言會道”或“口才流利”之意。不錯，這句話的確是這意思。
英語常見短語和成語很多，種類也有好幾種包括片語動詞、介詞短語、形容詞短語、動詞短語。
這里就舉些以HAVE引導的常用短語和成語，給大家參考：
