I find it irritating when I see how alleged graduates find it difficult to effectively use has, have, had in sentences. Has, have, had give many people a lot of headache. Proper handling of the words puts the user's knowledge of tenses to test. Has, have and had can perform the function of a main verb. When they do so, had is simply the past tense of has or have: He has a book. ( HE still has it.) He had a book. ( He does not have it again.) You have two cars. ( You still have them.) You had two cars. ( You don't have them again.) Therefore, whenever you want to express the present tense in the above context, freely use has or have. But when you want to use past tense, use had. Another major difference between them manifest when they are being used as auxiliary verbs in participle form. |
