Uso correcto de Haven't y Don't have? No estoy seguro en que casos se utiliza uno y otro y si además hay alguna diferencia en su uso entre el inglés británico y el inglés americano.

It depends on the function of the verb 'have' in the sentence. 1. If 'have' is an auxiliary verb ('haber' in Spanish) you must use the form 'haven't'. eg I haven't seen that film. 2. If 'have' is the main verb in the sentence, and has the meaning of another verb (eg take), you must use the form 'don't have'. eg I don't have baths very often because I prefer to have showers. I don't have a big breakfast on weekdays because there isn't time. 3. If 'have' has the meaning of 'tener' in Spanish, then either form is possible. There is also a 3rd form : 'haven't got' A. I haven't time. B. I don't have time. C. I haven't got time. There is no difference in meaning between these forms. Form A is the least common. Form B can be either neutral or formal. It is used in both British and US English. Form C is more informal, and is used mainly in British English. I hope that helps.

They are two different tenses*. Negative past perfect: I have not gone = I haven't gone Negative present simple tense: I do not have a book = I don't have a book *in British English you may hear: "I haven't a book" meaning "I do not have a book". In American English that would be unusual.
