Notes d'usage	Used in various contexts to indicate possession or experiences. Commonly used in both spoken and written English. It's versatile but may not be appropriate in very formal writing.	Utilisé pour parler de possession, qu'il s'agisse d'objets physiques ou de qualités abstraites. À éviter dans des contextes trop informels et à préférer des synonymes plus simples comme 'avoir' dans la conversation courante. Used when talking about ownership, either of physical items or abstract qualities. Avoid in overly informal contexts and opt for simpler synonyms like 'have' in casual speech.
