Questions & Answers about Ons het die waarborgbewys.

Why is ons used here, and does it only mean we?

Ons is the Afrikaans form for we in this sentence because it is the subject:

• Ons het die waarborgbewys. = We have the warranty certificate/receipt.

A useful thing to know is that ons can also mean us in other contexts. Afrikaans does not change the form the way English does:

• Ons sien hom. = We see him.
• Hy sien ons. = He sees us.

So the job it is doing in the sentence tells you whether it means we or us.

Why is het used here? Doesn't het sometimes mean had or act like an auxiliary?
