(1) En ingls es muy frecuente reforzar las negaciones con any (nada/ninguno/a). En
espaol, en cambio, no es necesario.
(2) No se suele utilizar la estructura negativa have/has got con verbos en infinitivo,
aunque hay algunas excepciones.
Para decir no tengo en pasado (no tuve...) Para el pasado NO se puede utilizar
haven't/hasn't got ya que slo sirve para el presente. Por tanto, slo podemos utilizar el
auxiliar didn't para el pasado. Ejemplo: No tuve se dice I didn't have. No: I hadn't got.
