Advanced English Grammar Course

Are you confused about how to use HAVE HAD and HAD HAD in English? Today’s lesson will help you! First, we need to understand the present perfect tense and past perfect tense. Both of these tenses are formed by using an auxiliary verb + main verb:

Present perfect
= have / has + main verb (past participle)

Examples:

  1. I have finished all my homework.
  2. She has gone to the store.
  3. We have lived here for three years.

The present perfect is used when an action starts in the past and continues to the present (example #3) or when talking about past actions WITHOUT saying when they happened (examples #1 and #2).

Past perfect
= had + main verb (past participle)

Examples:

  • My husband had finished all the housework by the time I got home from work.
  • When I called Laura last night, her husband told me she had gone out.
  • had lived in 5 different cities before I turned 10 years old.

The past perfect is used when one past action happens before another past action/event.

When to use HAVE HAD & HAD HAD

In the present perfect, the auxiliary verb is always have (for I, you, we, they) or has (for he, she, it).

In the past perfect, the auxiliary verb is always had.

We use have had in the present perfect when the main verb is also “have”:

  • I’m not feeling well. I have had a headache all day.
  • She has had three children in the past five years.
  • We have had some problems with our computer systems recently.
  • He has had two surgeries on his back.

We use had had in the past perfect when the main verb is also “have”:

  • Last weekend I just wanted to relax because I had had a busy week.
  • The director told me he had had a meeting with the president.
  • We had had some trouble with our washing machine, so we called a repairman.
  • She woke up screaming because she had had a bad dream.

Important: In spoken English, we almost always use the “short form”:

  • I’m not feeling well. I’ve had a headache all day.
  • She’s had three children in the past five years.
  • We’ve had some problems with our computer systems recently.
  • He’s had two surgeries on his back.
  • Last weekend I just wanted to relax because I’d had a busy week.
  • The director told me he’d had a meeting with the president.
  • We’d had some trouble with our washing machine, so we called a repairman.
  • She woke up screaming because she’d had a bad dream.

It’s also common to have another word in the middle:

  • We’ve recently had some problems with our computer systems.
  • He’s just had two surgeries on his back
  • The director said he’d already had a meeting with the president.
  • By the time I was 30 I’d only had one serious boyfriend.

Had has have when to use. The verbs to have and have got

когда используется have а когда has

The verb to have in English, along with the verbs to be and to do, plays one of the key roles in the construction of phrases and sentences for all tenses used. Depending on the context in which the semantic turnover is applied, and the meaning it can have completely different.

The verb to have: basic meaning

As for the main use of this verb, so to speak, in its pure form, it is most often translated or defined as «to have» or «to have.»

In the simplest case, when a phrase is constructed in the singular or plural of the first and third person, it is used in its basic form. For example, I (we, they, you) have a dog — «I (we, they, you) have a dog.» However, for the third person singular and for constructing sentences indicating the past (accomplished) event, other forms are used.

Conjugation

In order to fully understand the specifics of the application, the verb has (had) as a derivative of the basic indefinite form to have should be considered precisely in the context of conjugation with the use of persons and tenses. The meaning invested in any phrase will depend on this.

The forms of the verb have (or more correctly — to have) look like this.

Note that in relation to the pronoun you, the verb is used in the same form, but sometimes in English the pronoun itself can have a context of both “you” and “you” references. In the American language, everything is simpler in this respect. The fact is that it always uses the reference to «you», and even in the sense of using the verb to be (in this case, its form are).

For example, Are you sure? Can be translated as “Are you sure?” And as “Are you sure (sure)?”. It’s the same with the verb to have.

The verb has (had): usage difference

Based on the above conjugation system of the main verb, it is easy to draw a conclusion about the use of some of its forms. As already clear, the English verbs has refer to the present tense of the third person (he, she, it), and the form had is a derivative for constructing sentences of the past tense for any person and number (this will be discussed separately).

Using the verb in the present tense

As already mentioned, the main form to have and its derivative (the English verb has in particular) in the present tense denote the possession of something (as shown in the example above).

The form changes from have to has only when the face and number change. That is, has is used exclusively in cases where he, she, or it (third person singular) are used as the main pronoun. For example, She has a dog — «She has a dog.» With this, everything is simple. However, the regular form of the verb has is the main verb to have (indefinite form).

Using a verb in the past tense

Things are not so simple with the past tense. The point here is that phrases can not be limited only by the use of the special form had, and therefore the sentence can have different meanings in terms of the period of time when a certain action took place.

To make it clearer, let’s look at two examples. For the first case, let’s take the phrase I had a pen. It can be translated as “I had a pen” (once upon a time). But if you use two forms of the main verb in the sentence I have had a pen, the meaning changes dramatically. This expression can also be interpreted as “I had a pen”, but the action has just ended. Roughly speaking, the pen was a few moments ago, but now it is not.

In addition, the verb to have can be used with other verbs, but together they indicate different time intervals of actions and their completeness. So, the phrase I have visited an exhibition can be translated as “I have visited (visited) the exhibition” (just now).

But when the sentence I have been visiting an exhibition is applied (or with the abbreviation I’ve been — the forms of the verb have can also look like the abbreviated versions to be in affirmative, interrogative or negative sentences), the interpretation implies that visiting an exhibition as continuing action took place at the very moment in question.

If the sentence also contains the past tense verb, the meaning changes accordingly (I’ve been visited — «I was visited (by someone)», «I was visited / visited»).

But participles can also be present, for example, I’ve been crying — «I cried / cried» at the very moment in question (literally — «I was / was crying / crying»).

By the way, often among Americans you can find the addition of the verb to get when constructing phrases of the past tense. In this case, the phrase I’ve got .. is practically equivalent to the usual sentence of the past tense, although it can be literally translated as “I received / received”, “Became / became an owner”, etc.

Building sentences in the future tense

The conjugation of the verb has, I hope, is already clear, although by and large this is an absolutely incorrect statement of the question, since it is not the verb has that is conjugated, but its basic form to have. But let’s move on to constructing sentences in the future tense.

There are many interesting things here too. As a rule, to describe actions in the near future, that is, if something needs to be done just about, the verb to have can also be used, but in this case it means some kind of obligation.

True, in the Russian language there is no pure analogue of such phrases. Let us explain with an example.

The phrase I have to go can be literally translated into Russian as “I have to go”. Brad, isn’t it? For adjustments in terms of the described obligation, the translation “I must leave” is used, which is more clearly described by the English phrase I must go.

But a complete analogy in translation can be found in the same Ukrainian language, which in this regard is somewhat closer to European. In a literal version, the above phrase can be translated as “I may it”, which means “I must (must) leave”.

In this case, the meaning is embedded in an action that needs to be performed now or in some period of time after voicing the intention.

Inconsistencies between English and American: interrogative sentences

Let’s leave the has (had) verb aside for now and look at some of the nuances that can be found in pure English and the unified American languages. From the point of view of constructing interrogative sentences, in English they must begin with the main verb denoting a certain action.

In other words, to ask the interlocutor about whether he has a dog, you could use the phrase Have you a dog ?. This is correct from an English point of view. But Americans often add the action verb to do to the seemingly main verb to have, which plays the main role.

So the question about a dog in the American version looks like this: Do you have a dog?

In addition, very often you can find phrases like You have a dog?, And it is in the interrogative form. If translated, this phrase can mean surprise «Oh, do you have a dog?» The emphasis is on either the word «is» or the word «dog».

In other words, the question implies the usual surprise of a certain fact.

By the way, the Americans simply ignore the classical rules for constructing sentences of any time or any level of complexity, in contrast to the inhabitants of an old woman in England with her well-established traditions.

Conclusion

As you can see from the above, the verb has (had) is just one of the forms of the main verb to have. And its use, depending on the type of situation, can be completely different.

But, I think, the main aspects on the simplest examples are already clear to most readers.

By and large, the American language is easier for residents of non-English-speaking countries, and English, not to mention the Scottish or Irish dialect, is simply impossible to learn without living in the UK with everyday communication.

One of the basic verbs in English is the verb to have .

To have is an amazing verb: it can be semantic, auxiliary and modal. There are many fixed expressions, idioms with the verb to have.

In general, you will not go wrong if you start learning English with the verb to have.

Let’s try to study all the uses of the to have verb:

I.To have as a semantic verb

Vi. To have got

Vii. Phrasal verbs

I. To have as a semantic verb

Translated as:

* to have, to have

I have a big house in Moscow.

* include, include, contain

December has 31 days (has — since 3rd person).

be capable of smth. (often translated into Russian in this case, how to know, understand)

You have only a little English.

In this case, to have is static, i.e. cannot be continuous(ending -ing). The auxiliary verbs do (not) and does (not) are used to form interrogative and negative forms.

I don’t have a big house in Moscow.

Do you have a big house in Moscow.

In the third person, the verb to have has the form — has.

Have has rule, table, examples of use

когда используется have а когда has

Comprehending the basics of English grammar, beginners often complain about the difficulty of using the verb have. It would seem that there is nothing particularly complicated here, but it is difficult for beginners to determine when to put in English have, when has, and when had.

Therefore, today we will clarify this grammatical nuance, and a rule compiled on have has and a table with examples of sentences will help us to present the material for beginners in the most accessible form.

In addition, we will deal with the polysemy of the verb have and find out by what principle its forms are formed. Let’s get started!

Meaning and application of the verb to have in English

Before studying the have / has rule, you need to understand a few basic things. And to begin with, the verbs have and has in English are derived from the infinitive to have. In English, have is considered highly used: this verb is used a lot both in its own meaning and as an auxiliary element of grammatical combinations. Let’s study these nuances in more detail.

Have as an independent verb

First of all, the verb have is used to denote the presence of something, and in a similar situation the words have and has are translated into Russian by the verbs “to have”, “to possess”, “to possess”. For example:

  • We have four houses. — We own four houses.
  • She has a red blouse. — She has a red blouse.
  • Had he a house? — Did he own the house?

As you can see, the meaning of the use of the verb to have in the above sentences is the same, but the grammatical design of the structures is different. This is because the grammar of sentences depends on when and with what pronouns have is used. But we will talk in detail about in which cases it is correct to write have, and in which has, a little later. Now let’s return to the polysemy of this popular verb.

The auxiliary role of have in the construction of English sentences

You can meet the verb to have in English in any of the perfect tenses. Here, this verb denotes the completeness of the main action. For example, We Have watched the film — we watched this film.

The main action here is expressed by the verb watch (what to do? — watch, observe), and have is essentially added to form a perfect look (what did you do? — looked, watched).

Accordingly, in this meaning, have is not translated into Russian, but it is he who makes it clear that the main verb needs to be translated by an analogue of the perfect form.

Note that the grammatical rules for have-has are almost the same here as for an independent verb. But again, we will turn to them a little later.

Modal verb have to

And also English have is used as a modal verb when it is necessary to indicate the constraint of an action, the influence of circumstances.

  • I Had to go there. — I had to go there.
  • He has to do it. — He has to do it.

As you can see, this revolution is used with the to particle, so that the modal color is always easy to distinguish from the basic have value or perfect time. Otherwise, the grammar of this construction is similar to the use of the verb have as an independent and auxiliary one. And finally, it’s time to find out in which cases have is written, and in which — has. Let’s move on to learning the rules.

Changing the forms of the English verb have

So, even using the verb have in different meanings, the English apply almost uniform grammatical rules to it. The differences in grammar lie in only a slight change in the forms of this verb. We propose to find out by what laws this shaping takes place.

Currently,

As already noted, the use of have and has depends on the verb tense and the subject, most often expressed by the pronoun. Therefore, the rule when have is used, and when has, usually sounds like this: for the subject of the 3rd person singular, the form has is used, and in all other situations they write have. It is important to note that this wording applies only to Present Tense of English sentences (Present Simple Tense and Perfect).

Thus, the verb has is used with the pronouns it, he, she, and with the subject I, you and the plural have. Let’s look at some examples.

  • I Have

Have / Has rules of use

когда используется have а когда has

When you take your first steps in learning English, you will surely come across the verb to have [hæv]. This verb has several functions, is an integral part of a huge number of expressions, phrases and phrases.

Its first meaning is “to have”, “to possess”, “to own”. But a word can change meaning when used in conjunction with other lexical items.

We will start with a simple one and consider two forms of the verb — have / has, the rule for their use and figure out how the verb to have and the verb have got differ from each other.

Lexical meaning of the verb to have

The main meaning of the word, as noted above, is “to have”, “to own”, however, when translating into Russian, the structure “(someone) has” is often used.

  • I have a delicious cake — I have a delicious cake.
  • He has a new car — he has a new car.

In this meaning, the verb can be replaced with an alternative construction have got with the same meaning.

  • I have got a funny rabbit — I have a funny rabbit.
  • He has got a small kitten — he has a small kitten.

Both the individual verb and the have got construction are used when it comes to possession of something, in particular about family ties and diseases.

In some stable expressions (have a look, have breakfast, have a rest, etc.) the word got is not used.

Also, the verb to have changes its semantic meaning when it acts as a modal verb.

examples:

  • We have to see him right now — we need to see him right now.
  • You have to add some sugar — you need to add some sugar.

Grammar forms of the verb to have

As you can see, in the examples above, the two shapes alternate. So when is it written and when is has?

The have form in English is used with the pronouns I, you, we, they (I, you, you, we, they), has — only with the pronouns he, she, it (he, she, it). But this rule does not apply in all tenses: in the future tense (Future Simple), after the auxiliary verb will, have is put in all persons.

Tables will help you better understand these rules.

Present Simple Tense

Is and has got in English. When are have and have got used?

English students often wonder what is the difference between have got and have… How and in what cases are these two expressions used? Use have or have got in a particular clause?

When we talk about owning something, family ties or relationships, diseases or characteristics of people or things, you can use both have and have got. That being said, have got is a more common informal form.

Have got has the same meaning as have, and both are used in present tense. It should be noted that have got is not the Present Perfect form of get.

The auxiliary verb do is usually used to form negative and interrogative forms. To build similar sentences with have got, have acts as an auxiliary verb.

Study the following examples, and notice that in informal conversation, one form often replaces the other.

— How many subsidiaries does your company have? (How many subsidiaries does your company have?)
— It has two. (Two.)

— How many sisters do you have? (How many sisters do you have?)
— I’ve got three (sisters). (I have three [sisters].)
— Do you all have your own bedrooms? (Do you all have separate bedrooms?)
— Sue’s got her own bedroom, but neither Debbie nor I have. We have to share. (Sue has a separate bedroom, but Debbie and I don’t. We have to share one for two.)

In the last sentence, have is used as an alternative to must, because sisters are supposed to share.

— Have you got a new car, Paul? (Do you have a new car, Paul?)
— Yes I have. I bought it last week. (Yes, I bought it last week.)
— Has it got air conditioning? (Is there an air conditioning system?)
— No it hasn’t. But it’s got a CD player. (No. But it has a CD player.)
— Do you have very many CDs? (Do you have many CDs?)
— I’ve got hundreds. (I have hundreds of them.)

Notice how short answers and interrogative qualifications are formed at the end of sentences using have got and have:

— Have you got a sore throat as well as a runny nose? (Do you have a sore throat and a runny nose?)
— No, I haven’t. (No.)
— But you’ve got a high temperature, haven’t you? (But you have a high fever, don’t you?)
— Yes, I have. (Yes it is.)

— Does this music school have enough pianos? (Does this music school have enough pianos?)
— No, it doesn’t. (No, not enough.)
— But you have enough opportunities to practice, don’t you? (But you have the opportunity to practice, right?)
— No, we don’t. (No, we do not have such a possibility.)

In all other cases have got cannot be used instead of Have (for example, when talking about experiences or actions):

Correctly: I usually have dinner at 18:00.
Wrong: I usually have got dinner at 18:00

Future tense form of the verb have

The have got form is usually used only in the present tense. In relation to the future, other forms of the verb have are used. Compare the following example sentences:

— Have you got tickets for the match on Saturday? (Do you have tickets for the match on Saturday?)
— No, I haven’t. Not yet. (No, not yet.)
— Will you have them by tomorrow? (Will you have them by tomorrow?)
— I hope so. (Hope.)

— Have you got any time to help me with my maths homework? (Do you have time to help me with my math homework?)
— Not now I haven’t. Sorry. (Not now. Sorry.)
— Are you going to have any time at the weekend, do you think? (You have time for the weekend, do you think?)
— Yes, I’ll probably have some time then. (Yes, I will probably have a little time.)

Past tense of have

Likewise, we use a different form of have rather than have got to form the past tense. Compare the following sentences:

— Have you still got a bad headache? (Do you still have a terrible headache?)
— Yes, I have. (Yes.)
— How long have you had it? (How long have you had it?)
— I’ve had it on and off since yesterday.

(She has been with me from time to time since yesterday.)
— Did you have it at the last concert night? (Did your head hurt last night at the concert?)
— Yes, I did. I couldn’t concentrate on the music properly. (Yes.

I couldn’t really concentrate on the music.)

If you regularly listen to music in English, watch videos on the Internet or read magazines, newspapers, news texts, then you must have come across such a construction as “I have got” (I’ve got) or “He has got” (He’s got ). At the same time, the interrogative form of this construction seems completely «atypical» for the English language: Have I got?

The question is, where did the auxiliary verbs “do” and “does” go, because “to have got” and “to has got” is used in cases like Present Simple (Indefinite) Tense. So not everything is so simple and there is a difference between the usual “to have”, “to has” and “to have got”, “to has got”.

Let’s see the difference between these verbs.

The verbs “to have” and “to has” are used in Present Simple (Indefinite) Tense. Their interrogative and negative forms are formed with the help of the auxiliary verbs “do” and “does”. At the same time, “does”, as it were, eats “s” from “has” and turns it into “have”.

The verbs “to have got” and “to has got” are also used in Present Simple (Indefinite) Tense, but with the following features:

  • “To have got” and “to has got” — have a tinge of not typical action or are associated with the concept of “now”.

Eg (Usually) I have a cup of tea for breakfast in the morning, but I haven’t got a cup of tea for breakfast this morning.

NB !!! I’ve got something in my eye — in this example, using the usual “have” is incorrect, because you can’t always have a speck in your eye, so “to have got” is the best option.

Or another such example: He has got a toothache.

Remember this difference for the future, because when studying the verbs “to have” and “to have got” as modal verbs (meaning “to be due”) you will need it more than once.

Eg I’ve got to make a quick phone call (specific) and I have to wear a suit to work (general).

The verb to have and features of its use in English

One of the most common and important verbs in the English language is the verb to Have… This is due to the variety of its functions and applications. So, it can play the role of a semantic verb with the meaning of possession, an auxiliary verb for a number of tense forms, a modal verb with a to particle, and also occurs in a large number of stable expressions.

Meaning of the verb to have

The main meaning of this verb is “to have, to own, to have”, however, for translation into Russian, a more typical formulation is often the structure “(someone) has”, for example:

I Have a small kitten. I have a little kitten (or literally «I have a little kitten»).

In this sense, the verb to Have is often replaced with an alternative construct with the same meaning — have got:

I have got a funny puppy. I have a funny puppy (or literally «I have a funny puppy»).

The verb have (has) in English: rules of use, forms, conjugation

The have verb in English has quite a few different functions. It is the structural unit that is used in a wide variety of speech patterns and structures.

It can be part of a temporary form, can act as an independent semantic verb, and also be part of idioms and fixed expressions.

The use of have has some peculiarities that are important to know, since this structure is not always used in a standard way, and in many of its forms there is a difference from the standard grammar rules. Therefore, it is worth talking about all these details in more detail in order to avoid problems in the future.

The main features

The main translation, which has the verb to have — «to have». However, this word does not always carry such a meaning, especially when it is not an independent action, but is included in some construction. It is worth noting that the option “to have” also has a variable education formula, but first you should give possible examples of the original translation:

I have a strong feeling of satisfaction — I have a strong feeling of satisfaction
All the people have equal rights — All people have equal rights

Specifically from these two examples, it is clear that the direct translation «to have» is not always relevant and is not used in any sentences. In the Russian interpretation, another variant of a similar meaning is often used — «is», which means to have something. But in reality, they are practically the same, and the meaning is identical.

Verb forms in sentences of different types

The use in sentences of different types determines what the forms of this verb will be. You need to know them, since this unit has several conjugations.

Interrogative sentences

The use of this verb in questions is in many ways similar to the standard principle of the formation of this type of sentences. However, it is important to remember that depending on what function our verb performs in the text, interrogative sentences can be constructed in different ways.

If this verb is used in the previously described meaning of “to have”, then the situation will be standard: at the beginning of the sentence there will be a corresponding auxiliary verb of the required tense (do, does, did, etc.), then the subject will follow, followed by the first form of the verb “to have «(Without the ending -s) as a predicate, and then all the remaining members of the sentence.

· Do you have this book? — Do you have this book?
Did they have money when they were there? — Did they have money when they were there?

All about the verb HAVE in English

Pauline Updated January 4, 2019

The verb have is very widely used in English; it can be both semantic and purely grammatical. So, having understood the meanings of this verb, you will immediately learn a huge layer of grammar and vocabulary.

As a semantic

The most basic meaning of the verb have as the semantic «to have»… Since it is semantic, it means that it is weak. This means that to construct interrogative sentences and negations, he needs an auxiliary verb depending on the tense.

Affirmative Sentence Negative Interrogative

Currently,
I have a car. He has a computer. I don’t have a car.He doesn’t have a computer. Do you have a car? Does he have a computer?
Past tense
I had a car. I didn’t have a car. Did you have a car?

The option I’m having a computer is IMPOSSIBLE, since the verb in this meaning is STATIC, which means it cannot last. We cannot have in the process. This is not an action, but a state. When I say that I have a computer, I don’t do anything with it.

have got

In the same meaning of possession, one can find such a form — have got “to have”, which is more characteristic of British English. The difference is now that the verb becomes strong, that is, it does not need auxiliary verbs to build questions and negations.

Notethat have got is being used CURRENTLY. Again, it is STATIC.

+ -?

I got a car. He has got a computer. I haven’t got a car. Have you got a car? Has he got a computer?

As part of set expressions

The verb have has a lot of other meanings when it is part of set expressions:

  • have breakfast, lunch, dinner — have breakfast, lunch, dinner
  • have a bath — take a bath
  • have a coffee — drink a cup of coffee
  • have a drink — to drink
  • have a meal — to eat
  • have a snack — have a snack
  • have a good time — have a good time
  • have a lesson — to conduct or attend a lesson
  • have a nice day — have a nice day
  • have an appointment — make an appointment
  • have fun — have fun
  • have an interview — have an interview
  • have a clue — to have a concept, an idea
  • have second thoughts — change your mind, change your mind
  • have cold feet — to chicken out
  • have a cold — to catch a cold
  • have a lie-in — lie down, lie in bed
  • have a nap — take a nap
  • have a rest — to have a rest
  • have a ride — ride, ride

As you can see, the verb have takes on completely different meanings, not “have”, but “wash”, “drink”, “eat”, “rest”, etc. These verbs are dynamic, respectively, in these meanings the verb have is also DYNAMIC and can be used in extended tenses:

I’m having a shower now. — I’m taking a shower now.

When you called me, I was having lunch. — When you called me, I was having lunch.

As a modal verb

The have verb is also used as a modal verb.

Not to be confused with must. Their meanings are somewhat similar, but there are nuances. Read more in the article «Difference between modal verbs have to and must»

Here he is also weak, he needs auxiliary verbs.

+ -?

I have to go. I have to go. I don’t have to go. I don’t have to go. Do you have to go? You have to go?
She has to go. She must go. She doesn’t have to go. She doesn’t have to go Does she have to go? Should she go?
I had to go. I had to go. I didn’t have to go. I didn’t have to go. Did you have to go? You were supposed to go?

There is also an option Have got to do something.

I’ve got to do it. — I have to do it.

I’ve got to go = I gotta go

As an auxiliary verb

The verb can be auxiliary in perfect tenses and perform a purely grammatical function, it is not translated in any way (although one can draw an analogy as “have something done”, since a perfect implies some kind of result).

The verb to have in English

Verb to have — one of the main verbs of the English language, which can be both semantic and auxiliary. As a semantic verb have conveys its lexical meaning «to have, to have, to own.» As an auxiliary, it is part of various temporary forms, while it loses its meaning.

In the sentence given below, have is a semantic verb, that is, it conveys its meaning «to have»:

I Have two children. — I have two children (I have two children).

In the next sentence, have is an auxiliary verb, since it is part of the Present Perfect tense and does not convey its lexical meaning:

I have read the book. — I read the book.

Consider to have as a semantic verb with the meaning «to have, to have, to own.»

Forms of the verb to have in the present simple tense (in Present Simple)

In the present simple tense, to have has 2 forms: Have / has

Have — used with all persons, except for 3 liters. units h
has — only used with persons of 3 y. units h. (he, she, it)

Affirmative forms

I have — I have
we have — we have
You have — you have (you have)
They have — they have
He has — he has
She has — she has
It has — it has

He has a big house in London. — He has a big house in London (He has a big house in London).
They Have a nice flat. — They have a good apartment (They have a good apartment).

When we talk about owning something, in addition to have / has, the construction can be used have got / has got, which is most commonly used in colloquial speech and means the same as have / has. Got in this case does not matter, it just adjoins have / has. Please note that the design have got / has got is used only in present tense.I have got — I have
We have got — we have
You have got — you have (you have)
They have got — they have
He has got — he has
She has got — she has
It has got — it has

I have got a new car. — I have a new car (I have a new car).
He has got two children. — He has two children (He has two children).

Negative and interrogative forms

Negative and interrogative sentences are formed using an auxiliary verb do / does (for 3 liter units — he, she, it). To form a negation, you need to put the particle not after the auxiliary verb do / does. In negation, short forms are often used:

do not have = don’t have
does not-have = doesn’t have [dʌznt]

To form questions, do / does is placed at the beginning of the sentence, that is, it is placed before the subject. Please note that has is not used in negatives, as well as in questions, since 3 l. units h passed using does.

I don’t have / Do I have? — Yes, I do / No, I don’t.
We don’t have / Do we have? — Yes, we do / No, we don’t.
you don’t have / Do you have? — Yes, you do / No, you don’t.
They don’t have / Do they have? — Yes, they do / No, they don’t.
He doesn’t have / Does he have? — Yes, he does / No, he doesn’t.
She doesn’t have / Does she have? — Yes, she does / No, she doesn’t.
It doesn’t have / Does it have? — Yes, it does / No, it doesn’t.

Interrogative and negative sentences with have got

If turnover is used have got / has got, then no auxiliary verbs are required for questions and negations. Denial is formed according to the following formula, while more often it is still used in a short form:

Have + Note + g = haven’t got (short form)
has + Note + g = hasn’t got (short form)

For the formation of questions, have or has are brought forward, that is, they are put before the subject.

I haven’t gotHave I g? — Yes, I have / No, I haven’t.
We haven’t gotHave we g? — Yes, we have / No, we haven’t.
you haven’t gotHave you g? — Yes, you have / No, you haven’t.
They haven’t gotHave they g? — Yes, they have / No, they haven’t.
He hasn’t gotyou he g? — Yes, he has / No, he hasn’t.
She hasn’t gotyou she g? — Yes, she has / No, she hasn’t.
It hasn’t gotyou it g? — Yes, it has / No, it hasn’t.

I don’t have a car. = I haven’t got a car. — I don’t have a car (I don’t have a car).
She doesn’t have a car. = She hasn’t got a car. — She doesn’t have a car (She doesn’t have a car).

Do you Have a car? = Have you g a car? — Do you have a car? (Do you have a car?)
Does she Have a car? = you she g a car? — Does she have a car? (Does she have a car?)

It should also be noted that the use of the do / does auxiliary verbs is typical of American English. In British, the phrase have got / has got is more often used, but you can also hear: Have you a car? I haven’t a car. This is also true, but it is used extremely rarely and sounds a little old-fashioned.

In the past and future tenses, to have is used as an ordinary semantic verb. As a reminder, the have got / has got turnover is used only in the present tense.

hello!

It was a very useful lesson,

would you like to do one about subjunctive? I´m just learning that tense and I do not get it at all

best regards

osvaldo

    hey osvaldo!
    The subjunctive…. we hardly ever use it – it is a very OLD form of English grammar! Grammar is like fashion – it goes out of style and we don’t use it now!! go

Hello Ronnie,

Firstly, I would like to thank you and your colleagues for your great efforts which you have explored to English language learners. Secondly, your offer and idea to provide private lessons on skype is marvellous and I would be grateful to you if you send me more details and how soon can we start because I need to practice with you some speaking. Thank you for a prompt response. NB. 1)It would be perfect to have two or three sessions, an hour each, from now to next Thursday. 2) If you are busy the coming days and you don’t mind asking James , Rebecca or Valen to give me a hand, I would appreciate that very much.
Sincerely,

Ashraf

Ronnie, You has/have forgotten You
and it have/has made me confused.
And I am Jean-luc, the French Reloup Rouge
But Thanks anyway, apart from YOU has forgot IT is a good lesson

Reloup Rouge

I cannot (can’t) get my head around 2 things
1. the difference between like and as-I’ve seen “Like a bat outta hell”, but As blind as a bat”
2. is there a big difference between “fat chance” & “slim chance”- I’ve seen both where the context leads me to believe “small chance”
But Fat is not small- I am all of a confusion!

Reloup Rouge

    The person must have said ” fat chance” with sarcasm. Meaning there was NO way there was a chance. That is the same meaning as when somebody says in a serious way that they have a slim chance.

    marie

I think I’d prefer to have a slim chance than a fat chance

Reloup Rouge

It would seem I have neither a fat nor a slim chance of getting an answer to my question

Reloup Rouge

Good lesson Ronnie!
P.S. About the siren, you know if the police caught the thief?

hi my name is gen from the philippines i am very thankful because of this engvid.com your helping me improved my english grammar..i’m so happy i found this site accidentally..it helps me a lot..thank you teachers, i like the teachings of teacher ronnie..thank you..c”,)..

GEN

please help me understand what is the difference or on how to use should, could and would..thank you so much best regards to all teachers..

GEN

    You should look on the site — another teacher has made this lesson to help you!
    Should and could we use for advice with you, he, she, they, we. eg…You/he/she/we/they… should/could go to the movies!
    When we use “I”, we must use “would” for advice! “I would go to the movies.”
    When we use “I should have + past participle”, it is a regret!

    Ronnie

wow thanks for this site, it can help me learn more about English specially that I am hard up learning it.. I’m from Baguio, here in Philippines.

wanda

Do we say ” she is having or she is hasing. why?
I need a clarification please .

hassan26

What are the differences between these sentences? and which of them is correct?

1- I have no headsets
2- I haven’t headsets
3- I don’t have headsets

mar1

    All of these sentences mean the same! #1 is a very old “British English” way of saying #3. #2 is just #1 but haven’t = have not!!!
    #3 is what we use the most in daily, natural English!

    Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,

I wanna to know, when i can use the word ‘have not or has not ‘?

Thanks alot.

Mohab

    We usually don’t use have or has not! But have not is for I, we, you, and they. Has not is for it, she, and he.
    We usually say I/we/they/you DONT have… and it/she/he DOESN’T have!!!!!!

    Ronnie

      U teach so good! Ronni i see your lessons only.

      udhaya

Ronnie ,I just can not find the words to thank you !

morad rezzoum

    Hello!
    I have done a whole lesson on your question! Please be patient and keep watching!
    I made a lesson FOR you = I did it to benefit (or do a good thing)
    I give a book TO you = an exchange of something!
    For we use when it is a benefit.
    To we use when we exchange something!
    Hope that helps! Please keep watching Engvid for the video I made FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

razak

hi ronnie,i’m happy i had learn new..(is this correct?i want to ask something,if the band has a name is it plural or singular?example the beegees.

princess

    or should i say “i learned.”

    princess

Hi, thank you for useful lessons.
I have a question about using “have”. I often hear people to say “I do have…”. why they use “DO” word?

Ludmila

    Hello….. I do have IS NOT CORRECT!!!! Be careful….just because people say things, it does not mean they are correct! You should just say “I have”!!!!

    Ronnie

    Hi! We say “I do have” to emphasis the fact that we have. Example:
    On their friendship anniversary, a girl asks to her boyfriend if he has a gift for her. The fact is that the boy has been planning for getting her a very nice gift that he thinks she will like very much. So when she asks “Do you have a gift for me, honey? With a big smile, he might say “I do have something for you my darling!”
    I hope it is helpful.

helo .i will never end to say you thank.i had 100 thank you

sanon john nelson

yes no doubt u r an intersting teacher.I like the way u conduct the class with such energy.

I would like to hear from u some grammar.wat’s the difference between the following:
i had some tea
i would have some tea
i will have some tea.
also are the sentences”wat did we have?” and “wat we had?” mean the same.
I am totally mixed up with these past perfect and future perfect tenses both in conversation and in framing questions.when to use what?do u mind explaining these for me?

pragnaya

    I had some tea. = Simple past
    I would have some tea.= Past of “will” (I will have some tea)
    I will have some tea. =Simple Future
    What did we have? is correct, but “What we had?“, is not correct!
    Hope that helps! Good luck! Thanks for watching!

    Ronnie

You teach good and I have a good time good luck!Thank you too much that you teach me.Good luck!

hi teacher,
I found ur videos very beneficial for me,i have one confusion that u said for singular we use does and for pleural we use do,but my question is “I”,is also a singular form but why we are not using does with it?
kindly pick my english mistakes in writing this comment as well.
thanka

tiko

    With I we use have because it is the grammar rule….I don’t know why it is just the rule.
    I found your videos very beneficial.
    I am confused about one thing, you said for singular we use does and for plural we use do.My question is “I” , it is also a singular form but why we are not using does with it?
    Kindly pick my out English mistakes in this comment as well.
    thanks

    Ronnie

      thank you mam,so kind of you

      Syed

hi….it was short crisp & precise……………

aruna

Hi, can you teach us, when to use, have had, had had, have had and etcetera.

Art

    I will try to make a video for you! In the meantime, you can look at Rebecca’s lesson on “review of tenses”.
    Hope that helps you! Good luck!

    Ronnie

You keep on repeating the word English, sadly most of your words are not what English people would teach or say. if fact it is true to say that it is American English, not English as it is spoken, and it is not ‘ weird” how British people speak, it is the right way and it should be the only way to teach, because as an English teacher myself i have to correct my students time and time again because they have learned English from a lazy and ignorant teacher, please do not (don’t) get me wrong, i am not saying that you do a good job bur if you are going to teach English then please use the correct English, because it is(it’s) a bad reflection on British teachers who spend an eternity correcting foreign students how it is actually spoken. I find it rather annoying that you are to lazy to correct yourself in this way and expect your students to be just as lazy as yourself. Do not (don’t) blame the Queens English for being spoken as it should be when you are either to ignorant or just plain lazy to do so. I hope that you read this comment that i have written so that it may help others who actually pay to learn out native tongue.

thank you (thank’s)

yours

Kelly

kelly

    Ahahahahhahah
    That means I’m laughing at you in “American” ” English”.
    I guess they don’t teach you how to write a proper sentence in the bloody Queen’s English, only how to be a twat!

    Ronnie

      I’m from Iraq and I like Engvid specially Ronnie.she is a very good teacher with a very interesting and awesome style.I hope that we respect each other,specially those who teaching us.
      regards.

      Mohammed Sabeeh

    Dear Kelly,
    Because of teachers like you (super competent but also super arrogant and intolerant), the persons like me (the poor wretches that we are!) ended up being disgusted and annoyed by the “classic” English lessons. Please note that most of the persons I know have STUDIED english (and not american English!!) at school for many years with some teatchers like you and have really LEARNT english with some teatchers like Ronnie. Please note that a language changes and progress so before criticize maybe you’d open your mind and be more pleasant. Surely the British Queens speak English and not American but surely she’s got good manners and is POLITE. Keep smiling…

    milly

      :D I like it when people get angry on the internet!

      engVid

    Dear Kelly,
    I have CAREFULLY and CONSCIOUSLY gone through your wise,valuable suggestions..It turned out to be the most disgusting,boring,irritating,annoying article which I have ever read in my life..Do you know what is the actual problem of some scum like you-I firmly believe you do not..You people always try to make everything complicated and too tough so that no one can absorb the ideas and grasp the knowldge from something which is actually very simple-We get confused,messed up,demotivated,frustrated during the learning period because of some bch…. like you.You people create problems for us-i am specifically proud of getting teachers like Ronnie and others-They are my inspiration,idle,friend-philosopher-guide and nothing less than GOD-They are really doing a great and noble job here-So you please let them go on.. if you don’t like them,are not satisfied and if you think they are illiterate,uneducated people then you please leave from here-This place is not suitable for you and do some research on English and if you don’t have anything to do else finding out others mistakes then buy a bottle of poision and drink it up sparing us…It’s my heartiest request to you-because we don’t want people like you here….Don’t mind and keep smiling..

    sona sharma

    1.Ronnie is great teacher!
    2. I don’t think you are a teacher!you can not write properly. I is always (I) no (i)..You can not be a teacher…sorry and if you don’t like this web you should not be here! Ronnie is the best!

    Ines

She ______ a dog.

* has
* have
* is having

Why not She is having a dog?

Bit confused.

nazeerbabu

    because having is plural?

    nazeerbabu

      She has a dog. (Simple present tense, means she own a dog)
      She is having a dog. (Present continuous tense, means at the time of speaking, she is with a dog).

      Edrix

    having a dog

    raki

Thank you for the lesson! :)

stickypaper

Thanks.I’ve been in need a good explanation like this.You are adept at deliver information

marmar

hello teacher ronnie. please teach me/us about “had had” “has had” “have had” etc. iam confuse about this. thank you!

Nelo

    Hello!
    Had + p.p (past participle) is the past perfect tense! Eg.. I had had a dog, then I had a cat. We usually use past perfect and the simple past together.
    Have/has + p.p is present perfect. He/she/it has + p.p. Eg..She has had a dog for 4 years.
    I/we/they have +p.p. Eg.. I have had a dog for 3 years.
    Hope that helps you!
    I will try to make a lesson on this for you!

    Ronnie

Extremely important foundational knowledge. ESL students really get confused with do/does/has/have and we teach them the first rule: Does and has with 3rd person singular and then tell them it is incorrect to say “Does she has?” So this lesson it great! Thanks

rashidayvonnecampbell

Hi Ms. Ronnie thank you for this Lesson, But I’m having a hard time to understand the past of have. :(

kelly808

Hi Ms. Ronnie Thank you for this lesson. But I’m having a hard time the past of have. I dont get it. :(

fozi

” i didnt had eaten it “”
” i had not eaten it ”
” i didnt had ate it”” so which one is correct and why ? pease reply i need to know that .

jitu

Hi;
I want to know when I can use has,have,and had
Thank you

sara

    Has and have are present tense.
    I/they/we/you + have. We have a class at 2pm.
    She/he/it + has. It has a ball.

    Had is past tense. You don’t have to change the verb with different subjects — they are all had!
    I/they/you/we/she/it/he = had. Eg. I had a headache last night.

    Ronnie

thanks >> i get it.

almalki1

Hahahha so cool

do you teach near the police station center??????????
that voice is always in all lectures

mcrahim2000

    No, but there is a lot of crime in our city. We have new microphones in the newer lessons, so you shouldn’t be bothered by the outside noise as much.

    engVid

hello my best English teacher
how are you?
thanks for your this lecture
it was Great….

mcrahim2000

hi there,i hope you doing great.

i’m just wondering to know the difference between
i have met him
i had met him .
your answer is highly appreciated.
thank you.

hapkido

    I have met him is present perfect and used when there is no time indicator and/or based on life experience.
    I had met him is past perfect and used when we talk about an action in the past that is no longer true today.

    Ronnie

      Thanks for your prompt reply.

      hapkido

Hi,

Hi Ronnie
Please explain me difference between:

    I did make is wrong!
    I had made = you made something in the past!

    Ronnie

      Thank you Ronnie
      I asked you this because I heard for many times on TV this kind of approaching for the past perfect, I thought this is a slang.

other than these videos, what else do u teach Ronnie? I want to suggest u can teach me more on verbs deeply.tq hope to see ur reply.

Constance Chee

    Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,
I’ve got a question for you to answer.
When teachers check homework, do you think it’s better to ask: Did you do your homework for today or Have you done your homework for today? – Did you bring your English book or Have you brought your English book?
And what about students? Is it better: I forgot my homework/booketc. or I’ve forgotten my homework/book, etc.?
Old Walt Whitman thnaks you a lot.

waltwhitmman1

    Hey Old Walt Whitman!
    It is better to use simple past because you are using the time marker of “today”.
    However, it is not wrong to use present perfect, it just seems more natural for me to use simple past!

    Ronnie

thxs for the nice vid

binh nguyen

TKS Teacher! ;D

Renato Pach

i asked about what is the type of verb that followed had them ,i mean if there is had or have +possessive adjectives so, what is the type of verb comes after is it gerund or base form of verb or infinitive ?

ferid

hiiii
thanks for the lessone
but I wanna ask you about how i can use have to or have been or has to like this?
thanks

md imran

    Have/has to are obligations = I have to go to the movies.She has to eat her dinner.
    Have been= present perfect.www.engvid.com/past-simple-or-present-perfect/

    Ronnie

md imran

Hi Ronnie, How are you doing? I love your videos and all the videos are useful and informative. I have a slight confusion with “am/is” against “has/have” usage. Examples
1) It is done/It has done/ It has been done
2) Is he come/ Has he come?

Similary with “do” against “are”, Examples
1) Do you agree?/ Are you agree? (In my opinion, it is wrong usage)
2) Are you ready? / Do you ready?

Can you please clarify when to use what from the above examples?

Please clarify my queries here or make a new video if it is really difficult to explain over here.. :-)

danke

subusan

    It is done – is simple present tense.
    It has been done is present perfect.
    When you use “is”, it is present tense. Have/has + past participle is past tense (present perfect)!
    He has come = present perfect. He is come is wrong – you are correct! Good work!
    When the following word is a verb (agree) you have to use “do”
    If the following word is an adjective (ready) you have to use “to be”.

    Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I understood the concept now but I still have confusions with question formations using “Do”, “Will”, “Have” etc. For example:
Do you come? (present)
Will you come? (future)
Have you come? / Did you come? (past)
I think “Have you come?” is incorrect…

Similarly question formations using shall/will/should/would/could/has/had etc.

I would request you to make a video (ofcourse whenever you get a free time) regarding question formations..

thank you / Merci – your second language in canada :-)

subusan

I love this program, love all d lesson, love everything in this site … i can speak confident. I love 2 learn on it everyday …

yurusaki

    Yes, your grammar is correct! I watched Bakuman. This sentence is simple past tense!!! Great work!

    Ronnie

Hy Ronnie. I love your video lessons, but I have one question: when you say that we have to use the form “has” for he or she because they are singular people, then why do we have to use “have” for I? Isn’t that a singular person as well? Thanks.

Roxy

    Yes, I is a singular person. I have no idea why we have to use have – it is just another grammar rule!

    Ronnie

Thank you so much ronnie i really appreciate your lesson. More power.. :D

omarhamd

Hi,love the way you teach us;you guys are very nice,love you very much sweet people,I thing only reason behind American and Canadian development is that you people are very honest,love you ma’am.

Here I have a question.
I studied the rule that with singular and third person pronoun we should use “has” like he has or she has.
But while offering a seat a single person why we don’t say him”has a seat please.”
why we also say him have a seat?
please mail me the answer.

I love to know everything

    We say “have a seat`, because we are talking about the seat (which is singular) – not the person!

    Ronnie

You need a space between A and KEEN.

Ronnie

thank for this lesson

naeir

today i learn about where to use do and did, has have had. i cant express the joy. from past two years i just to speak English so i start purchasing grammar books reading papers but didn’t get these rules so easy.. thanks mam. every did i watch ur videos and leave comment..thanks for helping

yadwinder singh

The teaching was really good and helpfull, I have few qestions

_____ Julia and Sam got any money?
Answer should be
“Have”, since it denotes more than a person. I am correct?

The same should be for the below sentence
My daughters_____two dogs. It should be “Have”, because daughters is plural.

Kumar

    Yes, your answers are both correct! Great work!
    #1 would be more natural to ask “Do Julia and Sam have any money?”, but your answer is correct too!

    Ronnie

very very useful

saravanan

wow…. very helpful. want to learn more… :)

dhen

hello!!
is this correct?? i don’t have much time going to the meetings???

thanks

dhen

    No. I don’t have much time because I have to go to meetings. Or, I don’t have much time in the meetings.

    Ronnie

thank you ma’am

aejay

thanks ronnie all your lesson are so great!

kent

Wow – this is the second time I’ve had a student ask me this question – where did you get this from??? It is very. very unnatural and I would NEVER say this. Grammatically, it looks alright but you need a comma. THE STRANGER WAS AFFABLE, WITH GOOD MANNERS and A KEEN WIT.

Ronnie

please explain me about has had, have had. I am not geting the exact meaning or proper interpretation of above grammatical words, when i read.

Manish

    If subject is “he/she/it” = has had
    If subject is “you/they/we/I” = have had
    The grammar point is present perfect!

    Ronnie

I love this website so much becoz i learned a lot..and it help me so much.thak you teacher,,;)

joebhert

I would choose A but you should ask your teacher or who ever gave you this question!

yeah thanks a lot madam. however, can you please describe with the more practicing video live.

sofian hadi

hi Ronnie can I say I had not homework yesterday

dani187

    Yes, you can say that but it is more natural to say “I didn’t have homework yesterday!”

    Ronnie

hi again, you didn’t mention “it” and “you” in the explanation- how do we reffer to them?

and i also didn’t understood why do we say “he doesn’t have” and not “he doesn’t has”

and just like it- in the past why don’t we say “he didn’t had”
thank you a lot!!

ravid

    It + has.
    You + have.
    We change the auxiliary verb DO to DOES with he/she/it, so we do not need to change the next verb. In the sentence “He doesn’t have”, only the DOES reflects the subject!

    Ronnie

thanks ronnie I got 5/5

johanna

Dear Madam, could you please teach me that how to use in perfect tense and may have and might have

i have sent a letter yesterday

i sent a letter yesterday….which are the correct answer

shameer

    I sent a letter yesterday is better because we don’t use a time marker when we use present perfect!

    Ronnie

Hello.. can you tell me when to use had? e.g : he had gone or he have gone? And is this cambridge english?

chunchun

    He had gone = past perfect.
    He have gone = WRONG. He has gone= RIGHT! Present perfect!

    Ronnie

hello can u tell us what show us?

Hamid Azizi

wonderful and very useful. thanks.

Alfred Francis

hi, Ronnie, i am one of your fans here. i love your teaching style. i wish you will add another topic how to stop stutter or mubble words cause i have this kind of problem.

Cristine

    Thanks! A lot of people mumble! Just try to slow down and say the words slower! Most people do it because they are nervous! Just take your time and try to speak slower!

    Ronnie

Thank you, can you, give us class of
Plural form of other, another and others
Thank you I like your metode

meriemehabibena

HI, thanks for the lesson, i needed help in how to use have and has in a paragraph. for eg: Preserving food by drying, fermenting, salting and smoking ….. been in practice for several centuries. would you use has or have? just want to know what the rule is in such situation?

Thanks in advance

Nawaz

    Has because food is uncountable!

    Ronnie

Hi
I excited very much while I watched this video lesson. I afraid you are arrested by police. Finally everything is good. You saved yourself again ;)

Ozgur Cakmak

Thanks you. So just to make sure my understanding is correct, we would use have whenever it is plural or 1st person or 2nd person, and we use has whenever it is singular or if it is uncountable? please clarify this.

Nawaz

    I/you/they(including plural nouns)/we = have
    He/she/it(including singular and uncountable nouns)= has.

    Ronnie

thanks for helping me in the lesson has,have,had

emerson06

hi.. thank you for helped me to show the different between have and does have….

Dinesh kumar

Hello. I think the last quiz has 2 answers.. “I____ two eyes”. Why “have” is correct,but “had” is false??

Yelmar

    If you say “I had two eyes” it means you had two eyes in the past, but don’t any more. So it might be correct if you happen to have lost an eye in an accident or something…

    engVid Moderator

    Had means you lost an eye!

    Ronnie

Hi Ronnie how are you? thanks for all lessons!….today’s lesson was great thank you so much!….i like the way you teach! ….i have a question: if you can do a lesson about the phasal verbs?..bless you!

Nicole

    engVid Moderator

Thank you..

laseng17

Do you have a online class ?

djkiki

    This is the online class!

    engVid Moderator

Hi!ok so in order to make it clear enough or the bottom line is instead had not which is negative I can use didn’t have and aside from that “has” is also for had? is it? what about if that is singular for instance: she didn’t have or she didn’t has which is correct? thanks much!!!

heizz

    She didn’t have.

    Ronnie

He hadn’t eaten breakfast. Is this correct in American english or is it, he didn’t eaten breakfast. which one is correct? I need to know the answer its urgent please !!!

john

    It should be “hadn’t eaten”.

    engVid Moderator

Miss Ronnie you have use people for example(singular people).Is it correct or sigular person(not singular people)is correct.

Satendra Yadav

Thanks Ronnie,
This video is very useful…Cheers

leo

Quick question Ronnie: Am I right saying the following? “I have had eaten my breakfast before going to the office last Monday.” Thanks!

leo

    Almost – but you have to say….I had eaten my breakfast before going to the office last Monday.”
    Past perfect = had + past participle. (you had 2 past participles)

    Ronnie

      Spot on Ronnie. Thank you! I’m really confuse sometimes if I want to say past and future perfect tense. I will find if you have such lesson here. Thanks once again. Cheers

      leo

nimal saman and isuru have or has

Isuru Gayashan

Thank you very much,I’ve always watched ur Engvideo.:) From Philippines

Adrian

Hello is me again.. i have questions to ask ..

Is ‘my wallet is stolen’ or ‘my wallet had been stolen’ or ‘my wallet was stolen’ ? what is the difference?

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate you effort:]

chunchun

    is = present tense. We wouldn’t use this to talk about this situation.
    was = past tense. This is the most natural way to say this.
    had been = past perfect. We would only use this to tell a story where 2 actions occurred. EX. I was going to buy some fruit but then I realized that my wallet had been stolen.

    Ronnie

please we need to konw about
HAD HAD
EX: If I had had more money ……..

How do you explain to a non-english speaker what “have” means and when you use have, has, or had?

Martycim

Hi Ronnie,
How come, you didn’t talk about the
pronoun IT.I beleive we can say,it(the table) has four legs.Also we can say: I haven’t, I hadn’t,he/she/it hasn’t.
Would you pleas correct me!

Atef

    I am afraid of it.
    It = has/hasn’t…you are correct!

    Ronnie

    Had + p.p = past perfect!

    Ronnie

Please take a lesson for this Had/have/has=verb! When should we use it and how to use it.

shanittech

thanks i take u r lesson ….it was so nice ….
plz help me to understand basic english grammer

zaib

Good job Ronnie. Your tutorial makes a difference because you taught changes with the modern English

I had a good lesson :)

mtalwar18

One thing I would like to share with you is to make sure I am on the right track:-
Has-used for singular nouns (He, She and It)
Have-used for plural nouns (I, We, They and You)
HAD is the past tense of HAVE
and,
if negative HAD then, all sentences will be didn’t have (irrespective of singular and plural nouns)

If I am right, then I think I making a good move towards learning English.

Comments are appreciated.
Thnx :)

mtalwar18

Confusion:-
Found statements that says- I have had my dinner??

Please explain this situation.

mtalwar18

mam kindly illustrate this sentence little bit confusing to me “I had had a dog”

mani

Its really nice madam. you are doing a great service for non-native speakers like us.God would bless you always.

mam my question is how to use has havehad been in passive voice.

thank you so much for answering me.

archana

Hi teacher Ronnie,
i’m from malaysia, chinese people.
i’m still don’t know how to use /HAD/HAS/HAVE/ which one is past tense ?
present?

yjietan

    Had = past.
    Have/has = present.

    Ronnie

      Thank for your reply ^——^
      1] He and She must to use Has/does?it never change?
      2] When we must to use Had? please give some example.

      yjietan

        1) he/she/it use has and does – yes, this never changes in the present tense!
        2) Had = past tense. She/he/you/I/they/we + had some apples.
        I had a cold but now it is gone.
        Watch the video again and YOU give ME examples.

        Ronnie

          I HAD finished my homework yesterday.
          right?haha:)

          yjietan

          reply me,pls

          yjietan

hiiiiiiiiiii, gud mornig, its nice but its so old i mean this function isnt better for us .. you should be bring a new and better idea. and once again thanks for it..

imran khan

Thankyou! the lesson is simple but great! thanks a lot

Angelica

It is very useful for all of us, please keep posting.. Thanks
and also please tell us about vocabulary too thanks :))
Good Luck

Sam

Hi Ronnie, how are you going ?
What can you about me ? Well, I can understand writing and even listen you teaching on video. However,I cannot write well! What should I do? I’m from Brazil and I love your teaching.Of course which this writing has a lot of errors, but it was what I could do without use the translator. Thanks.

Vandinho

    To practice writing, you should write a short diary entry daily. OR just try to write without a translator and see how you do! Translators make us lazy. You are fortunate because a lot of the vocabulary is similar in Portuguese and English!

    Ronnie

And Ronnie, ohh look me here again….
I’ve a question. Should I use;
I hadn’t or I didn’t have ?
Ex: I’d not a car. I did not have a car.
And sorry me, but I’ve another question ? May I ask ? oh, in fact, I just ask a question.
What should I use ?
I don’t have or I haven’t ?
Ex; I don’t have a book.
I haven’t a book.
Thanks !!!

Vandinho

    “Didn’t have” is what I would say, but “hadn’t is also 100% correct. I think hadn’t is old British English. If you are speaking to an old British person, they might say “hadn’t”. Most people use didn’t have!
    Again, I would say ” I don’t have a book”. I haven’t a book is old English!

    Ronnie

What ´s the difference betweeen :
Did you tell.. or
Have you told..
When we use did and when have!!

Marta

    Did you tell = simple past. We use this with a time marker. Ex. Did you tell him yesterday.
    Have you told = present perfect. We use this without a definite time marker. Ex. Have you told him. (We don’t know when)!

    Ronnie

Do I say, for example : ” Why does everything (have) to be about you? ” or do I say : ” Why does everything (has) to be about you? ”
Your help would be greatly appreciated :)

aya

    have

    Ronnie

Thank you RONNIE :)
Could you please explain why we used (have) ?? :) :) PLEASE

aya

Hey Ronnie! Filipino here! I forgot this, while I’m in vacation… Now, I’m writing a story. And I have a lot of questions to my mom if my grammar is right, but she’s always irritated. So I searched in youtube about this lesson. So thank you for sharing your knowledge to us…

Cecille Anne

tank you teacher ronnie you are really a good teacher,has,had and have are very useful,I would like to ask you were I should use have been .

marvin manalo

hi ronnie… do you already have a video of how and when to use “SOMEBODY, SOMEONE, EVERYBODY, EVERYONE”?if you don’t, can you please make one for me? coz i find it very difficult… (is my grammar right?) oh ronnie, please help me….

maeangelyn

hii ronnie. i want to know that. how to make this sentance. mai bick banwa rha hu.cousitive verbs ques.please send me

sam

    ????? I have no idea what you mean.

    Ronnie

hey ronnie how r you? i have an other question for u.my question is that in thz video u taught us that if we want to make negative sentence so we write like this she doesn’t has or they don’t have but i learned in negative sentence we use hasn’t nd write like she hasn’t eaten mango or i haven’t eaten mango so would u pls explain???

mehak

    In the past tense we say did/didn’t, present tense does/doesn’t. You can use hasn’t/haven’t but it is very old fashioned- we don’t use them now (but they are correct).
    However, if you use present perfect as you did in your example “hasn’t eaten mango or i haven’t eaten mango”, you MUST use have/has + p.p.
    You have written 2 different grammar tenses – that is why you are confused!

    Ronnie

Sorry,where is SUBJECT “YOU” ?

Joseph

thank you so much! nd it means that we do not use has/hasn’t and have/haven’t now… nd if we want to use it we have to write p.p with them right….

mehak

You make it easy for everyone to understand.tnx

ched

very nice, My Miss Ronni , keep the tune up in the same momentum.

we need your more lesson to become a good English speaker.

nasim07

navkaran

Hello madam,
what’s the difference between have,has,had in perfect tense and as means of possession.I am so confused about this usage.

S.Sameena Anjum

    Have/has + p.p is present perfect.
    Had + p.p is past perfect.
    Have/has + base verb is to show possession in the present tense.
    Had + base verb is the past tense to show possession!

    Ronnie

He doesn’t have
It has no
It doesn’t have

I really want to know the difference.

I am awaiting for your reply

VIJAY GOPAL

    Have/has no/not and do/does not are the same!!!
    The only thing is that we usually use do/does not! Have/has no/not is old school English! To speak more naturally, use do/does not!

    Ronnie

Thank you Ronnie

    Have been is present perfect. We use present perfect for past events that were very special or exciting and that may only happen once in our lives!
    Was is simple past. We use simple past for basic, daily routine events.

trung252

You are awesome Ronnie :)

Please add (It has )to your lesson.

MARAM.ESSA

Hi Ronnie, how are you doing?

After reading a lot of comments about your lesson I’ve a little question which was already aswered. it’s about the sentence I DO HAVE.

let me further explain.

When I talk with people from USA I’ve noticed that when they want to emphasize something they use the sentence that I described above.

i.e we were talking about some technical document then I asked.. do you have further information?…and the answer was, yes I do have…

eavalos

Hi Ronnie, I have a question.
please check the grammar.
1)Flights have started?
2)The requirements have been given?

If we have more objects we use have like for flights we have more than one flight so we use have, is it right?
Same as with requirements as it is plural.

shaikFF

Hi Ronnie! I have a question. I watched “have, had, and has” video. I wonder how do we use-have, had, or has-in a sentence like: My father have/has a heart attack. OR The author has/have….? Thanks!

Ben Bob

Hi Ronnie

I hope you can help me. My question is about : BEEN !
I am very confused bout it.

If now someone says; this lesson has been thought up by Mr. E. Why do i have to use ”the” been? Couldn’t i say ; this lesson has thought up …?, cause i also say i’ve broken my leg and not i’ve been broken my leg, right? Generally i do not get why it is not: this lesson was thought up by Mr. E.

I just undersand in one way, where to use the been, it’s : Have you ever been there or i’ve been there…

I got the mister E sentence form video from James (passive)

I thank you very much.

Very usefull leason! It was so easy to learn! Thank you teacher.

alesponchiado

Thank you

Christian laechoe

The verb HAVE can function as a main verb and as an auxiliary verb. The forms of the verb HAVE in the simple present are I/we/you/they have, he/she/it has; the simple past for all persons – had. The verb HAVE is also used in a large number of set expressions and in several commonly used phrases, such as «have got, have to, have got to, had better, have something done».

HAVE as a main verb

Main meanings of the verb HAVE as a main verb are «own, possess». In these meanings, the verb HAVE is a stative verb and is not used in the Continuous tenses.

He has a large house.

He has blue eyes and dark hair.

They have two cats and a dog.

She has a lot of friends.

I have a lot of work today.

He has a sense of humor.

We have the right to do it.

The phrase HAVE GOT is used as a synonym for the verb HAVE in the meaning «to own, to possess» in the present tense, especially in everyday speech. Examples: She’s got gray eyes. I’ve got a new computer. (Differences in the use of HAVE and HAVE GOT are described in Russian in the commentary to the song Gary Moore — Still Got the Blues in the section Hobby.)

HAVE as a main verb is used in a large number of set expressions in which it may keep or lose the meaning «own, possess». For example: to have breakfast, have dinner, have a cup of coffee, have a sandwich, have a good time, have fun, have an opportunity, have a problem, have difficulty, have a question, have a look, have a walk, have a talk, have a fight, have an accident, have a bath, have a baby, have a cold, have a headache, have patience, have influence, have something against someone, have a taste for something.

In a number of set expressions denoting some activity or process, for example, «to have dinner, have fun, have a walk, have a bath», the verb HAVE can be used in the Continuous tenses.

They are having breakfast now.

She writes that she is having a good time.

We are having a party next Saturday.

When I came in, he was having a talk with the manager.

HAVE as a main verb forms questions and negative sentences in the simple present and simple past with the help of the auxiliary verb DO.

Does he have a telephone? – Yes, he does.

Do you have a sister? – No, I don’t.

Did you have a look at my report?

What do you have in mind?

He has a car, doesn’t he?

He had a cold yesterday, didn’t he?

I don’t have a dictionary of British slang.

He doesn’t have any friends.

I didn’t have time yesterday.

Note: Some negative sentences with HAVE can be formed with the help of NO before the noun. Examples: He has no friends. They have no children. I have no questions. I had no time yesterday.

HAVE as an auxiliary verb

The verb HAVE is used as an auxiliary verb in the formation of the perfect tenses and of the perfect continuous tenses.

He has already written the report.

She has been waiting for two hours.

We had finished work by the time he came back.

He will have left before you wake up.

The verb HAVE as an auxiliary verb forms questions and negative sentences on its own.

Have you ever been to Australia?

How long has she been sleeping?

You have read it, haven’t you?

She hasn’t called him yet.

Students sometimes have a problem understanding sentences in which the auxiliary verb HAVE and the main verb HAVE are used together. You just need to remember that the tense form for the perfect tenses is have + past participle of the main verb, for example, «have written, has written, had written, will have written». And if the main verb in the sentence happens to be HAVE, then the tense forms will be «have had, has had, had had, will have had». Look at these sentences in which the first HAVE is an auxiliary verb that helps to form the present perfect tense, and the second HAVE is a main verb.

He has had a hard life.

She has had a headache for three days.

We haven’t had any free time lately.

I’ve had enough of your criticism!

I’ve had it!

The phrase HAVE TO

The verb HAVE expresses modality in the phrase HAVE TO in the meaning «necessity». The phrase HAVE TO, i.e., have + infinitive with the particle «to», is used as the most common substitute for the modal verb MUST in the meaning «necessity».

I must talk to him about it. – I have to talk to him about it.

I must write a report today. – I have to write a report today.

I had to go there yesterday, and I will have to go there again tomorrow.

Does he have to stay here till eight?

You don’t have to sell your car.

The phrase HAVE GOT TO is used as a synonym for HAVE TO and MUST in the present in informal speech. Examples: I’ve got to talk to him about it. I’ve got to write a report today. Differences in their use are described in Necessity in the section Grammar.

Note: The phrase HAD BETTER is used as a synonym for SHOULD and OUGHT TO for giving advice. Example: Your cough is getting worse; you’d better see a doctor. HAD BETTER is described in Advice in the section Grammar.

Construction «have something done»

The construction «have something done», i.e., have + object + past participle, is one of the types of the construction verb + complex object. It is widely used in describing the actions performed for you by someone else, usually in the form of services rendered to you by service companies.

I had my hair cut yesterday.

He had his car washed.

She had the door painted and a new lock installed.

Did you have the car repaired yesterday?

I had it done last week.

Where can I have my car washed?

Where can I have my bicycle repaired?

Can I have this suit cleaned and pressed for tomorrow?

In some cases, the verb GET can replace the verb HAVE in this construction in everyday speech.

I got my car washed.

Where can I get it done?

Note that the same construction with the verb HAVE may have another meaning:

She had all her money stolen. (Someone stole all her money. All her money was stolen.)

«Someone» may also be used (instead of «something») in such constructions with the verb HAVE. For example:

She had him arrested. (She caused the police to arrest him.)

You had me worried. (I was worried about you. You made me worry.)

He had us laughing. (We were laughing because of him. He made us laugh.)

The construction «have someone do something» has the following meaning: to ensure (to cause, request, ask) that someone performs some action. In everyday speech, «get someone to do something» may be used (meaning: to ask, to persuade someone to do something). You can replace these constructions with simpler constructions in your speech.

Have him call me, please. – Ask him to call me, please.

Have Anita type the letters. – Tell Anita to type the letters.

I got him to repair my bicycle. – I asked / persuaded him to repair my bicycle.

Глагол HAVE

Глагол HAVE может работать как основной глагол и как вспомогательный глагол. Формы глагола HAVE в простом настоящем времени – I/we/you/they have, he/she/it has; простое прошедшее для всех лиц – had. Глагол HAVE также употребляется в большом количестве устойчивых выражений и в нескольких широко употребительных фразах, таких как «have got, have to, have got to, had better, have something done».

HAVE как основной глагол

Главные значения глагола HAVE как основного глагола – иметь, обладать. В этих значениях HAVE является глаголом состояния и не употребляется во временах группы Continuous.

Фраза HAVE GOT употребляется как синоним для глагола HAVE в значении «иметь, обладать» в настоящем времени, особенно в разговорной речи. Примеры: She’s got gray eyes. (У неё серые глаза.) I’ve got a new computer. (У меня новый компьютер.) (Различия в употреблении HAVE и HAVE GOT описаны на русском языке в комментарии к песне Gary Moore — Still Got the Blues в разделе Hobby.)

Глагол HAVE как основной глагол употребляется в большом количестве устойчивых выражений, в которых он может сохранять или терять значение «иметь, обладать». Например: завтракать, обедать, выпить чашку кофе, съесть бутерброд, хорошо провести время, веселиться, иметь возможность, иметь проблему, иметь трудность, иметь вопрос, посмотреть, погулять, поговорить, поссориться, попасть в аварию, принимать ванну, родить ребенка, простудиться, страдать от головной боли, иметь терпение, иметь влияние, иметь что-то против кого-то, иметь склонность к чему-то.

В ряде устойчивых выражений, обозначающих какую-либо деятельность или процесс, например, «to have dinner, have fun, have a walk, have a bath», глагол HAVE может употребляться во временах группы Continuous.

Они сейчас завтракают.

Она пишет, что она хорошо проводит время.

У нас будет вечеринка в следующую субботу.

HAVE как основной глагол образует вопросы и отрицательные предложения в простом настоящем и простом прошедшем с помощью вспомогательного глагола DO.

HAVE как вспомогательный глагол

Глагол HAVE употребляется как вспомогательный глагол для образования перфектных времен и перфектных продолженных времен.

Он уже написал доклад.

Она прождала / ждет уже два часа.

Мы уже закончили работу к тому времени, как он вернулся.

Он уедет до того, как ты проснешься.

Глагол HAVE как вспомогательный глагол образует вопросы и отрицательные формы самостоятельно.

Вы когда-нибудь бывали в Австралии?

Как долго она уже спит?

Вы это прочитали, не так ли?

Она ему еще не звонила.

Студенты иногда испытывают трудность с пониманием предложений, в которых вспомогательный глагол HAVE и основной глагол HAVE употреблены вместе. Просто нужно помнить, что форма времени для перфектных времен – have + причастие прошедшего времени основного глагола, например, «have written, has written, had written, will have written». А если так получилось, что основной глагол в предложении – HAVE, то формы времен будут «have had, has had, had had, will have had». Посмотрите на эти предложения, в которых первый HAVE – вспомогательный глагол, который помогает образовать настоящее совершенное время, а второй HAVE – основной глагол.

Он прожил трудную жизнь.

У неё головная боль уже три дня.

У нас совсем нет свободного времени в последнее время.

С меня достаточно вашей критики!

Всё! С меня довольно!

Фраза HAVE TO

Я должен поговорить с ним об этом. – Я должен поговорить с ним об этом.

Я должен написать доклад сегодня. – Я должен написать доклад сегодня.

Мне пришлось пойти туда вчера, и я должен буду снова пойти туда завтра.

Фраза HAVE GOT TO употребляется как синоним для HAVE TO и MUST в настоящем времени в разговорной речи. Примеры: Я должен поговорить с ним об этом. Я должен написать доклад сегодня. Различия в их употреблении описываются в статье Necessity в разделе Grammar.

Примечание: Фраза HAD BETTER употребляется как синоним для SHOULD и OUGHT TO для дачи совета. Пример: Ваш кашель становится хуже; вам лучше обратиться к врачу. HAD BETTER описывается в статье Advice в разделе Grammar.

Конструкция «have something done»

Конструкция have something done, т.е. have + дополнение + причастие прошедшего времени, является одним из видов конструкции глагол + сложное дополнение. Она широко употребляется для описания действий, выполненных для вас кем-то другим, обычно в виде услуг, предоставленных вам предприятиями сферы обслуживания.

Мне постригли волосы вчера.

Ему вымыли машину.

Ей покрасили дверь и вставили новый замок.

Вам починили машину вчера?

Мне это сделали на прошлой неделе.

Где мне могут вымыть машину?

Где мне могут починить мой велосипед?

Могут мне почистить и погладить этот костюм к завтрашнему дню?

В некоторых случаях, глагол GET может заменять глагол HAVE в этой конструкции в разговорной речи.

Мне помыли машину.

Где мне могут это сделать?

Обратите внимание, что та же конструкция с глаголом HAVE может иметь другое значение:

У неё украли все деньги. (Кто-то украл все её деньги. Все её деньги были украдены.)

«Someone» тоже может употребляться (вместо «something») в таких конструкциях с глаголом HAVE. Например:

Она добилась, чтобы его арестовали. (Она побудила полицию арестовать его.)

Ты заставила меня беспокоиться. (Я беспокоился, тревожился о тебе. Ты заставила меня волноваться.)

Он заставил нас смеяться. (Мы смеялись из-за него. Он заставил нас смеяться.)

Конструкция have someone do something имеет следующее значение: обеспечить (побудить, попросить), чтобы кто-то выполнил какое-то действие. В разговорной речи может употребляться конструкция get someone to do something (значение: побудить, уговорить кого-то сделать что-то). Вы можете заменить эти конструкции более простыми конструкциями в своей речи.

Обеспечьте, чтобы он позвонил мне, пожалуйста. – Попросите его позвонить мне, пожалуйста.

Обеспечьте, чтобы Анита напечатала письма. – Скажите Аните напечатать письма.

Я побудил / уговорил его починить мой велосипед. – Я попросил / уговорил его починить мой велосипед.
