When to use the word has and have in a sentence - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

You probably use has and have often, but do you know the grammar rules behind how you use them?

Take this pair of sentences: which one is correct?

Is it, “Peter have a dog” or “Peter has a dog”?

If you’re not using a third person pronoun, like he, she, or it, or a name, you can almost always use «have.» Keep reading for the exceptions.

We’ll use the tips in this article to find out the answer and learn when to use has vs. have.

What Is the Difference Between Have and Has?

The words «has» and «have» both come from the verb «to have.»

To have means to possess or hold something. It also means to experience or undergo something. «Has» and «have» both mean the same thing as «to have.»

So why are there two different versions of the word?

When Should I Use Have or Has?

It’s all to do with who we are talking about. Whether you use have or has depends on the point of view you are using. Luckily, you only use has when talking in the third-person singular (that’s grammar jargon for using he, she, or it in a sentence).

If you’re not using he, she, or it, you can almost always use «have.» Keep reading for the exceptions.

First, let’s look at some examples of when to use has and have.

When Do I Use Have?

We use have when talking about ourselves in the first person perspective (using I), when addressing someone else directly in the second person perspective (using you), or when referring to multiple people in the third person plural (using they).

Here are some examples:

I have a dog.
You have a cat.
They have horses.

In all three of the examples above, have is used to indicate ownership.

Now take a look at these:

I have seen that movie.
You have been there, right?
They have worked hard on this project.

In these examples, have is used to show that the subject of the sentence (I, you, they) has been through an experience (seeing the movie, going to a place, working on a project).

To recap: If you’re using I, we, you, or they, use have.

When Do I Use Has?

We use has when talking about someone or something else in the third person singular. That means that if you’re referring to just one person or thing, and you’re not using «I» or «you» to refer to them, you need to use has.

Here are some examples:

She has red hair.
He has eight siblings.
It has many special features.

As before, in all of those examples has indicates ownership.

Now take a look at these:

She has been to school.
He has learned how to crochet.
It has fallen over.

In these examples, has shows that the subject (she, he, or it) have experienced something (been to school) or undergone a change (learned to crochet, fallen over).

Are Has and Have Singular or Plural?

So, to recap:

Have can be singular (I / you have) or plural (we / they have)
Has is always singular (he / she / it has)

Seems simple, right? However, this can get tricky when you’re talking about a group of people, a team, or a company.

If you’re referring to a group of people with the pronoun everyone or everybody, you need to use has:

Everybody has bad days.
Now that everyone has a booklet, we’ll get started.

But if you’re referring to a general group such as children, people, and the media, you’ll need have:

Children have struggled during the pandemic.
It’s hard to tell if people have strong feelings on the subject.
The media have made the issue worse by causing panic.

Is It «The Team Has» or «The Team Have»?

If you’re using a collective term, like family, team, company, or group, you can use has or have. This is because we can view these terms as one single group, or as a collection of individuals.

The team has achieved record results this year. (team = single group)
The team have achieved record results this year. (team = collection of individuals)

Do I Use Has or Have with a Name?

When you refer to an individual by name, you’re using the third person singular—that means you use has.

That’s because names take the place of «he» or «she» (or any other singular pronoun, like the non-binary pronoun, «they») in a sentence.

He has a dog.
Peter has a dog.

Now we have the answer to our earlier question. It’s Peter has a dog, not Peter have a dog.

Is It «She Should Have» or «She Should Has»?

It’s she should have. Even though we are using she, which usually goes with has, the verb should has special rules.

That’s because it’s a modal verb. We won’t get into those here, but you should know that if you always use have after a modal verb.

Here are the verbs to look out for:

Would: I would have gone, but I was held up at work.
Could: You could have saved him.
Should: She should have asked me before she sold my bike.
Shall: You shall have what you are given.
Will: I will have the risotto, please.
Might: He might have told me; I can’t remember.
May: They may have been right about that.
Can: You can have whatever you want.

What Tense Are Have and Has?

We can use the words have and has to make a few different tenses. This can get a bit complicated, but we’ll start simple.

If you are speaking about someone owning something in the present tense, you’ll use have or has with the same rules as before:

She has an ice cream.
I have tickets to the concert.
They have coconut cream pie on the menu.

This is known as the simple present tense.

If you want to say that someone owned something in the past (but not necessarily now), use had. Had is the past tense version of have/has:

He had lots of jewellery.
You had an olive tree at the old house.
They had excellent WiFi at the hotel.

This is known as the simple past tense.

You can also use has, have, and had to create more complex tenses.

If you want to refer to something that started in the past and continues into the present, use have or has with the same rules as before plus an -ing verb:

She has always loved running.
I have been going to ballet class since I was five.

When Do You Use «Was Having» or «Had Been Having»?

If someone began owning or experiencing something in the past, and this was still happening when another event occurred, use was / were having, like this:

I was having breakfast when he got home.
John was having a nightmare when he woke up.
Don’t blame yourself. You were having a terrible time at work already when it happened.

If you want to describe a continuing experience that occurred before a particular time in the past, use had been having:

I had been having trouble with my car already when I set off on the journey.

Is It Grammatically Correct to Write «Had Had»?

If you or someone else finished doing something before a specific point, you’ll need to use «had» before the action:

No wonder you’re hungry. You had finished your lunch before 10am!
I had seen over 50 horror films by the time I was 13.
She had run a marathon before, but never as fast as she did this time.

This can look a bit weird if you want to say that you or someone else had finished owning or experiencing something before a point:

They had had their dinner by 7pm.
You had had that blanket for years before you lost it.
I had had my prom dress ready for months before the event.

In all of these examples, it is correct to say «had had.»

What Is the Difference Between Have, Has, and Must?

On their own, have and has don’t mean the same thing as must.

However, the phrases have to or has to do mean the same thing as must. You can use have to / has to and must interchangeably, however sometimes must is more compelling.

You have to do your homework before you go to the skate park.
You must do your homework before you go to the skate park.

While these sentences technically mean the same thing, using must in the second example sets a more commanding tone—the speaker is telling the listener what they must do.

Here are some more examples of have to and has to in a sentence:

I have to leave for work by eight.
You have to listen to this new band!
She has to learn her lines for the performance.
Children have to be accompanied by an adult to ride the rollercoaster.
The Government has to resolve the issue by the end of the week.
It has to stop raining before we can play football.

Can I Use Have and Has in the Same Sentence?

Yes, of course! Just use the same rules we’ve already covered.

For example:

She has red shoes, but I have blue shoes.
He has seen movies that have not been released yet.

You might also use the phrase «has to have» in your sentence to mean «must have»:

She has to have the correct uniform to attend school.
Jane is a perfectionist. She has to have everything planned down to the last detail.

What Is the Difference Between Hasn’t and Haven’t?

Hasn’t and haven’t are negative contractions of has and have. They mean «has not» and «have not» respectively.

When you use hasn’t or haven’t, it is usually to say that you have not experienced or undergone something, rather than to say that you do not own something.

Use hasn’t and haven’t with the same rules we covered before. Hasn’t goes with she / he / it and haven’t goes with I / we / you / they.

We haven’t got any potatoes left in stock.
The shop hasn’t got any potatoes left in stock.
I haven’t been able to get any potatoes.
How will you cook the dish if you haven’t got any potatoes?

Remember, if you can replace the subject of the sentence (the thing doing the having or not having) with it, use hasn’t—like with «the shop» in the example above.

What Are Some Examples of Has or Have in a Sentence?

Let’s finish up with a quick-fire round of some common phrases that use has or have.

Is It «Does Have» or «Does Has»?

It’s does have. This is because the verb to do (which turns into does, did, etc.) requires you to use the root form of any verb you put after it.

This sounds confusing, but all it means is that you need to use «have» after any version of the word «do» :

Your plan does have its benefits.
He does have a point.

Is It «Did It Have» or «Did It Has»?

This follows the same pattern as above. «Did» is the past tense version of the word «do,» so the answer is did it have.

Did it have to end this way?
Did she have a haircut?
Did the hotel have a swimming pool?

Is It «Someone Have» or «Someone Has»?

Someone is a singular pronoun, like he or she. That means that, in most cases, we use has.

Someone has poisoned the waterhole!

However, if you’re asking a question beginning with «Does,» you need to use have, as above:

Does someone have time to help me with this?

Is It «Which Have» or «Which Has»?

This depends on the subject of your sentence. Remember, we only use «which» with non-human subjects.

If it is a singular subject, use which has. If it is a plural subject, use which have.

Plural: Watches, which have always been used to tell the time, now have many other purposes.
Singular: The bandstand, which has been standing for 100 years, is being demolished this Saturday.

Have You Got It?

Now you know how to use have and has in your sentences. Remember, before you decide which one to use, check your tense and who you’re talking about.

Has and have are different conjugations of the verb to have. Have has to do with possession, and to have something is to be in possession of it.

I have a pencil.

Has and have sometimes get confused with each other in people’s writing–but more often in speech–because have is an irregular verb. It, therefore, doesn’t take the usual verb endings of other English verbs.

What is the Difference Between Has and Have?

In today’s post, I want to talk about when to use has and have, how each word works in a sentence, and how to make sure you don’t confuse them again.

The short answer when comparing has vs. have is that has is used with the third person singular. Have is used with the first and second person singular and plural and the third person plural.

If this sounds a bit confusing, or you don’t quite remember what differentiates the first, second, and third person, don’t worry. I will explain everything below.

After reading this post, you won’t ever again wonder to yourself, “Should I use has or have?”

When to Use Has

Has is the third person singular present tense of have. This just means that it is used when you are speaking in the third person singular, i.e., with the pronouns he, she, and it.

He has a great idea.
She has a car that we can borrow.
The new iPhone is great; it has a bigger screen.
John has a headache and doesn’t want to go out tonight.
It’s not clear if the team has a policy prohibiting players from traveling when they are out with an injury. –New York Post

The easiest way to remember the correct use of has is that it is paired with the pronouns he, she, and it.

It can also be used when you are referring to someone by name.

John has a bike.
Suzy has a car.

It is important to note that has is only used with the third person singular pronouns. The third person plural they is used with have.

When to Use Have

Have is used with the first and second person singular present and plural tenses and the third person plural present tense. Again, in plain English, this just means you use have when you are speaking in the first and second person singular and third person plural, i.e., with the pronouns I, you, we, and they.

I have a great deal for you.
Do you have any money?
We have a new ride at the amusement park.
They also have a wonderful gift shop. I’m a very visual person, and I love opening beautiful books on art or design and looking through them. –The New York Times

Again, the best way to remember the correct use of have is to remember the pronouns it is paired with. Have uses the pronouns I, you, we, and they.

Everyone Has or Have?

Which form is correct to use with everyone or everybody? Is it everyone has or everyone have?

Everyone is a singular pronoun, so it should be matched with has, not have.

Walton says everyone has to fill the 30-point void left by the absence of the NBA’s leading scorer and reigning MVP. –USA Today

The same goes for everybody. Everybody has or have? Everybody is singular, so the following verb must match it.

Contractions That Use Has/Have

Positive Contractions

I have = I’ve
You have = You’ve
We have = We’ve
They have = They’ve
He has = He’s
She has = She’s
It has = It’s

Negative Contractions

Has not = Hasn’t
Have not = Haven’t
Had not = Hadn’t

Remember the Difference

The best way to keep track of have vs. has is to think of the pronouns that each verb uses.

Has uses the pronouns he, she, and it.

Have uses the pronouns I, you, we, they.

Summary

Has vs. have. What is the difference? These are two different conjugations of the same verb to have.

Has is the third person singular present tense.

Have is the first and second person singular present and plural tenses and the third person plural present tense.

Have and has are different forms of the verb to have. Even though they come from the same word, there are slight differences in the way they’re used.

While the verb to have has many different meanings, its primary meaning is “to possess, own, hold for use, or contain.” Have and has indicate possession in the present tense (describing events that are currently happening).

Have is used with the pronouns I, you, we, and they, while has is used with he, she, and it.

**How do you use have?**

Have is the conjugation of to have that’s used when:

speaking in the first person (I, we)
speaking in the second person (you)
speaking in the third person plural (they)

Take, for example, the following sentence: “They have two dogs.” Here, have is the correct choice because the subject (they) is a third person plural pronoun.

**How do you use has?**

Has is the conjugation of to have that’s used when:

speaking in the third person singular (he, she, and it).

This example from And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini shows has used with a third person singular pronoun (he): “He has a slender nose, a narrow mouth, and tight blond curls.”

As noted, this use of have and has only really applies when you’re speaking in the present tense.

**How do you use have and has with other verbs?**

Indicating possibility

Now that you’ve mastered the basics of have and has, it’s time to talk about how to use them in combination with other verbs. For every sentence that simply indicates possession (I have a cat), there’s going to be another that uses to have in a more complex way. For example, if you say I have to groom the cat, that’s definitely more complicated of an issue … in more ways than one!

One way have and has combine with other verbs is to describe what could happen (but hasn’t yet):

You have to call me tonight.
He has to do his homework before dinner.

These actions have not occurred yet. As before, have is used with the pronouns I, you, we, and they, while has is used with he, she, and it.

Indicating completed action

Have or has can be used to communicate that the action of a verb was completed prior to the present. To do that, you will create what’s called the present perfect tense, which involves more complex time relationships, and combines a verb with has, have, or had:

We have waited for hours in this line.
You have finished the job on time.
She has learned an important lesson.

In the sentence “She has played banjo for four years,” for example, has is an auxiliary verb (a helping verb used in the construction of verb forms), and played is a past participle. As in the examples mentioned before, has is used with a third person singular pronoun.

This is complex stuff, so don’t feel bad for not memorizing all of these rules. What’s important to remember is that together, has and a past participle like played form the present perfect tense.

Another example of the present perfect tense is seen in this sentence from The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern: “‘I have invited you all here for a reason,’ Chandresh says, ‘as I’m sure you have surmised by now.’”

In the first part of the sentence, have is used because there is a first person subject (I). In the second part of the sentence, have is used again because there is a second person subject (you).

Here’s a recap

Have is used with the pronouns I, you, we, and they. Has is used with he, she, and it.

Have and has can indicate possession.
Have and has can combine with other verbs to indicate more complex relationships with time.

Have / has / had rules of use in English

By Alina Skorokhodova Mar 6, 2019

In English text, you will often see the verb to have [hæv]. He needs to be given special attention, since he takes part in the formation of a large number of expressions, phrases and phrases. Most often it is translated into Russian as to have, to have. But the direct meaning can be changed depending on how the given verb is combined with other words.

The functional feature of the verb to have is that it can be presented as a full-valued semantic verb (expresses the meaning of an action or a state independently, has a full semantic load), an auxiliary (service, used in a sentence together with a semantic verb) or a modal verb (conveys an attitude to the action , used with semantic verbs).

To have as a full-valued verb

In this form, “to have” is translated into Russian as “to have”, “to possess”, “to possess”.

For example:

I have a delicious chicken — I have a delicious cutlet (I have a delicious cutlet).

Consider the tense conjugation of the verb «to have».

Affirmative

An affirmative sentence is formed by using one of its two forms have [hæv] or has [hæz] instead of the verb to have. The second applies to the 3rd person singular in Present Simple.

I	Have	Я	I have, bark
He	you	He	has, has
She	It
It	It
We	Have	Мы	we have, we have
you	You	have, have
They	They	have, have

examples:

I have a bright shawl — I have a bright scarf (I have a bright scarf, I have a bright scarf).
She has a pen — it has a handle (it has a handle, it has a handle).

In British English, when using have as an independent verb, have got, has got is often used. This does not change the meaning.

examples:

I have a country manor — I have a country mansion (I own a country mansion).
I have got a country manor — I have a country mansion (I own a country mansion).
He has a plastic ruler — he has a plastic ruler (he has a plastic ruler).
He has got a plastic ruler — he has a plastic ruler (he has a plastic ruler).

Interrogative (interrogative form)

This type of sentence is formed using the auxiliary word do or does.

Do	I	Have
Does	he
she
it
Do	we
you
they

examples:

Does she have a ripe banana? — Does she have a ripe banana (does she have a ripe banana)?
Do we have a leather wallet? — Do we have a leather wallet (do we have a leather wallet)?

Negative

A negative sentence is formed using the auxiliary word do or does and the negative particle not.

I	do not (don’t)	Have
He	does not (doesn’t)
She
It
We	do not (don’t)
you
They

examples:

She doesn’t have blue shoes — she doesn’t have blue shoes (she doesn’t have blue shoes).

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).

Present Perfect Time: Use, Markers, Education Rules

29.08.2017

Present Perfect tense in English is considered one of the most common and used. This applies to both written and spoken language.

In Russian, the name of the time is translated as «present completed», and a peculiarity of its use is the intention of the interlocutor to emphasize the result.

This time is more often used in British English, however, in the American version of the language it is quite popular, despite the tendency to simplify. Consider the most popular uses of this time, as well as the features of the construction of sentences and characteristic markers.

Usage: top 5

Most often, Present Perfect tense is used to mean:

— Actions that took place in the past, but have a connection with the present moment, because the speaker is in it. He himself defines the range of the present moment, for example, expressions this week (as opposed to last week), this month (as opposed to last month), this morning (as opposed to last morning).

— To indicate the result in the present. The emphasis is directly on the result of the action itself, and not just a statement of the action in the past.

For example: I have already learned 40000 English words.

— To indicate the fact of a completed action. The interlocutor needs to emphasize precisely that the action has already been completed by the designated moment. This is almost the same as focusing on results. For example, He has washed his hands.

— To express an action that began in the past and continues up to the present moment in time. For example, She has not seen her friends for 5 years.

— With adverbs often, always, ever, never, seldom (often, always, ever, never, rarely). Most often these are sentences like Have you ever been to.? I have never been to

Time markers

The easiest way to understand what grammatical tense should be used in a particular conversational or written situation is with the help of existing or implied time markers. Some of them relate strictly to one grammatical tense, others can combine several use cases, while changing either the context or their very meaning. For Present Perfect, the rules of English grammar prescribe the following timestamps:

— already / yet- never / ever

— recently / lately

— this week / this month / this century / today

— by now

Translation: already / yet, never / ever, recently / recently, this week / this month / this century / today, until now.

Features of the formation of time

This is the present tense, for the formation of which the auxiliary verb have or has (for 3 singular) is used in combination with the third form of the main verb, which is indicated in tables V3. In general, the formula looks like this: have / has + V3

The Present Perfect time in the affirmative form looks exactly like this. For negation, the particle NOT is used after the auxiliary verb, and in questions the auxiliary verb is put in front.

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»).

Grammar forms of the verb to have

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 verbs to have and have got

Verb «to have»(Own) in English is used in quite different situations and can be translated into Russian in different ways. In this article, you will learn the basic situations when this verb is used. You will also learn about the verb “have got«, Which also means» to own. «

The verb to have

He has three books by Hemingway. → He It has/ Y he is three books by Hemingway.
She has fair hair. → She has blonde hair.

Verb «to have«Is also used to denote a large number of actions, here are some of them (the main thing is to understand the meaning, not to be scared and think» how to translate this «):

have a bath, wash, shower, etc → take a bath (lie in it), wash, take a shower (under running water), etc.

examples:

Anna is having a bath at the moment (Present Continuous time). → Anna now taking a bath.

Used as a modal verb. It can be easily identified by the construction “have to«. Here he expresses a requirement to perform (s) some routine action (but not always). It is often used by native speakers as an action that carries a responsibility, a duty.

This form «Have«Also has a similar meaning to the modal verb»must«- when talking about responsibilities, native speakers prefer to use it (for example: I must talk to Peter. It’s important). «

Verb «must»Is used when they want to talk about very serious (or if they are considered to be) responsibilities for the speaker (for example: I must feed my family).

A few examples:

They have to work hard on Saturdays (routine for them). → On Saturdays they have Hard to work.
I have to return books to the school library. → I should return books to the school library.

I must be rich (very important for the speaker). → I should to be rich.
I must to defend my homeland. → I should defend your homeland.

Have got

The verb «have got» is more typical of British English. It also serves to indicate the ownership (property) of something (not only material), the property of something (or its characteristics), relationship or connection. For example:

He has got some friends in London. → He has a few friends in London

Annahas got three sisters. → Anna has three sisters.

I have got a new car. → I have new car.

Americans also sometimes use “have got«But more often»air» or simply «(to) have«(Think of it as an analogue / synonym — it’s easier this way).

The essential difference between the verb «have got» and the simple «to have» is the time when they are used. «Oh my God, again some kind of problem» now you probably thought. But everything is simple here, «have got«Is used only in Present simple tense, and»Have»Can be used in all temporary forms. For example:

I HAD

Lesson 7. Words-parameters. The use of much and many

Words much, many (many, many, many) can be used as an addition to a noun, or be used instead.

much used only with uncountable nouns or instead of uncountable nouns:

How much money did he spend?
You haven’t much time if you want to catch the bus.
Not much was written about it.
He doesn’t eat much.He doesn’t eat much.

Many is used only with countable nouns or instead of countable nouns:

How many books do you have?
How many pupils are in this class?
Many to play football. Many people like to play football.
Not many have heard of her.

In modern English, often instead of words much и many their synonym is used a lot of (lots of). A lot of used with both countable and uncountable nouns:

He always makes a lot of mistakes He always makes a lot of mistakes.
we have a lot of bags.We have a lot of bags.

If the word «a lot» is preceded by too (too much), very (very), so (So), how (as), as (also) then you need to use much и many. Using A lot of in this case is incorrect.

I have so much work to do
She works too much.She works too hard.
You have made very many mistakes You made a lot of mistakes.

In this lesson, the expression a lot of not used. Only much и many.

little, few

Words little, few (little, not enough) can be used as an addition to a noun, or be used instead.

Little used only with uncountable nouns:

we have little money We don’t have much money.
She at very little at lunch She ate very little at lunch.
Little has been said about this event.
John spends little time with his family. John spent little time with his family.

Few used only with countable nouns:

He has few friends He has few friends.
Few managers admit their mistakes.
He has read few books He has read few books.
Many people were invited but few came. Many people were invited, but few came.

Pronouns little и few can be used with an indefinite article in the meaning a little, a little.
Consider in comparison:

I have a little time. I have a little time.
I have little time. I have little time.
I know a few words in spanish. I know a few words in spanish.
I know few words in spanish. I know few words in Spanish.

Parameter words

AllPartNothingPeople Objects Place Time

everybody, everyone	somebody, someone	anybody, anyone	nobody, no one
everything	something something, something	anything anything, anything	nothing
everywhere	somewhere	anywhere anywhere, anywhere	nowhere
always	sometimes sometimes	never

examples:

He sees todo MundoHe sees everyone.
He speaks to somebody.He is talking to someone.
I saw him somewhere. I saw him somewhere.
I always say the truth. I always tell the truth.
I saw someone there. I saw someone there.
Anyone can help you. Anyone can help you.
We bought everything.We bought everything.
You can buy it anywhere.You can buy this anywhere.
you will Sometimes hear them. You will sometimes hear them.

Note time parameters the sentence usually uses before the verb… All other parameters are used more often. after the verb.

В general issues the parameter is usually used Any (anybody, anyone, anything, anywhere), a not some.

As you can see from the table, the words somebody, something, somewhere can have the same translation with the words anybody, anything, anywhere.
To understand when which word to use, you need to go from the essence of the words.

Any — any, but some — some.

I saw somebody.
It’s about someone specific, so some.

I did not see anybody (I saw nobody)
Here we are talking about any person, so any.

Consider the following question-answer: Have you seen someone? I saw someone.

Did you see anyone? I saw someone.

Therefore, in the main questions, words with any are used, and in statements with some.

examples:

Is anybody is there anyone here?
there is somebody here. Someone is here.
did you see anything interesting? Did you see anything interesting?
I see something interesting there. I see something interesting there.

Using parameters is straightforward. Except for one case where the words nobody, nothing, nowhere, and never are used to convey negation:

I didn’t tell him anything bad.

In this case, you should not copy the structure of the Russian sentence, because double negation will be a mistake in an English sentence:

I didn’t say anything bad to him. Note tell him nothing bad. (wrong) I told him nothing bad. (right)

Let’s consider a few more suggestions:

there is nothing interesting here. There is nothing interesting here.
Nobody cares about my plans.

Words anyone, anybody, anything, anywhere are not negatives, therefore in negative sentences they are used as a general rule.

I didn’t say anything bad to him. Note tell him anything bad or I told him nothing bath.
I didn’t see anything interesting here. Note see anything interesting here or I saw nothing interesting here.

Words todo Mundo, everyone, somebody, someone, anybody, anyone, nobody и no one in English refer to singular… Therefore, the verb with them is used in the singular.

Someone calls you.
Does anyone hear me? can anyone hear me?
No one was at home. Nobody was at home.

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.

Conjugation

Conjugation of the verb to have does not carry any complexity and it is very easy to remember how it is used in different tenses. The past tense uses the form had; in perfect structures, it is identical. The same information is offered by the table of irregular verbs. In the future tense, the verb remains unchanged, only one of the corresponding auxiliary verbs is added to it — will or shall.

When it comes to the present tense, it is important to remember one nuance: to figure out when have is written and when has. It all depends on the person and number of the pronoun that accompanies the action. As you know, the ending -s must be added to the verb form adjacent to a pronoun or noun in the singular and in the third person. Accordingly, the has form is needed precisely for these purposes. For example:

She has quite a good car — She has a pretty good car
He has the same phone that I want to but — He has the exact same phone that I want to buy

Note: sentences with the verb has are relevant not only in the simple present, but also in perfect tense, where it acts as an auxiliary element.

It is also important to note the difference between these forms in the context of their use with collective nouns (family, team, etc.). In the event that the speaker means each member of such a group separately, only structures without the ending -s are used. But if we are talking, for example, about the family as a single whole, then the use of has is relevant. For example:

My family have mobile phones — My family has mobile phones (meaning each of the family members)
Our team has many important awards — Our team has many important awards (the team is meant as a whole)

When it comes to identifiable and indefinite pronouns in the singular (everybody, everyone, anyone, somebody, someone, etc.), it is also customary to use the -s form.

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. For example:

· 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?

Have has rule, table, examples of use

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

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.

What Are “Has” and “Have”?

“Has” and “have” are both verbs.

Verbs are used to indicate action. Along with nouns, adjectives, pronouns and prepositions, they’re one of the basic parts of speech in English.

“Has” and “Have” to Mean Possession

When we talk about possessing (owning) something, we use the verb “to have.”

“To have” is the infinitive, or original, form of the verb.

Here are some conjugations of the verb “to have”:

Tense	Conjugation
Present	has, have
Present progressive	is / are having
Past	had

“Has” and “have” are both conjugations in the English present tense.

For example, look at the following sentences:

She has the book.

I have the book.

In both sentences, the verb “to have” is conjugated in the present tense.

“Has” and “Have” as Auxiliary Verbs

The verb “to have” has another use. It’s also an auxiliary verb.

An auxiliary verb is combined with another verb to complete the meaning of a sentence. Because of this, it’s also called a helping verb. For example:

She has eaten dinner already.

I have seen that movie.

These sentences both use the perfect tense. Here, “has” and “have” don’t indicate possession. Instead, adding “has” or “have” to another verb creates that verb’s perfect tense form.

In general, the verb “to have” is important as an auxiliary verb because it creates the past perfect and present perfect tenses for other verbs.

“Has” vs. “Have”: What’s the Difference?

Really, the difference between “has” and “have” is all about English points of view:

Points of View in English

In English, anything we read or speak is coming from a particular point of view. The point of view tells you who is speaking, and who is being spoken about.

You can know the point of view by looking at which pronouns are used. Let’s quickly review:

Point of View	Meaning	Singular Pronoun	Plural Pronoun
First Person	The speaker is talking about himself or herself (with other people included if plural).	I	We
Second Person	The speaker is talking directly to somebody else.	You	You
Third Person	The speaker is talking about somebody or something else.	He (men) She (women) It (non-living things)	They (people or things)

Got it? Great! Now that you understand points of view, using “has” and “have” becomes very easy.

“Has” vs. “Have” in the Present Tense

“Has” and “have” can both be used in the present tense as a main verb to mean possession.

Here’s the difference:

Type of Sentence	Has	Have
Affirmative Statement	✓ (he, she, it, singular nouns)	✓ (I, we, you, plural nouns)
Negative Statement	𐄂	✓
Question	𐄂	✓

Using “Has” in the Present Tense

There are two points you have to remember:

1. In the present tense, “has” is used with the third-person singular point of view.

That means you’ll use it with “he,” “she,” “it,” a name or a singular noun.

It’s also used with singular pronouns like “everybody,” “anybody,” or “nobody”:

Everybody has a copy of the book.

Nobody has the answer.

I don’t think anybody has coffee.

2. “Has” is only used with affirmative (non-negative) statements.

If you’re asking a question or if you’re talking in the negative (using the word “not”), you won’t use “has.”

He has brown eyes.

She has the answer to your question.

That book has 400 pages.

Japan has amazing food.

Meena has 45 pencils.

Using “Have” in the Present Tense

1. In the present tense, use “have” in the first- and second-person points of view, and in the third-person plural point of view.

In other words, use “have” with the subjects “I,” “you,” “we” or “they”:

I have a headache.

You have a new laptop.

They have three cats.

We have a big house.

Also, use “have” with plural nouns or when talking about multiple people or things at the same time:

Those dresses have stripes.

Roger and I have a red car.

My dog and Patricia’s cat have brown fur.

2. If you’re asking a question or making a negative statement, then always use “have,” regardless of the point of view.

Here are some questions in the present tense, all using “have”:

Does anybody have the answer to the question?

Do you have the book?

Does she have a house?

Does Meena have a best friend?

Do I have your attention?

The same is true for negative statements in the present tense:

She does not have a room.

I do not have a brother.

They do not have time to see you.

The movie does not have a good plot.

We do not have a dog.

To repeat: with a negative statement or a question, use “have” even if the subject is “he,” “she,” “it,” a name or a singular noun.

“Has” vs. “Have” in the Present Perfect Tense

“Has” and “have” can also be auxiliary verbs that help create the present perfect tense, in combination with other verbs.

The rules for using them as auxiliary verbs are actually simpler. It just depends on the subject:

Subject	Has	Have
Pronoun	He, she, it	I, you, we, they
Noun	Singular	Plural

Using “Has” in the Present Perfect Tense

Whatever kind of statement you’re making, whether it’s an affirmative or negative statement or even a question, you’ll use “has” as long as the subject is third-person singular: “he,” “she,” “it,” a name or a singular noun.

John has gone to California four times. (Affirmative statement)

The dog has not eaten today. (Negative statement)

Has she received the letter? (Question)

Has he not told you about this? (Question)

Using “Have” in the Present Perfect Tense

Similarly, with “have,” you use it in the present perfect tense with subjects “I,” “you,” “we” or “they,” as well as plural nouns.

I have watched “Game of Thrones” four times.

You have helped me a lot.

They have asked many questions.

We have thought about this all day.

This is true for any kind of statement or question too:

My friends have not watched “Game of Thrones.” (Negative statement)

You have not helped me at all. (Negative statement)

Have they asked too many questions? (Question)

Have we thought about this enough? (Question)
