Has & Have

 

"Has" and "have"

“Has" and "have" are both auxiliary verbs used to indicate possession, ownership, or the existence of something. "Has" is used with the third person singular (he, she, it), while "have" is used with the first and second person, as well as the third person plural (I, you, we, they).

Simple Sentence:

Subjects	Auxiliary verbs	Examples
He (singular)	Has	He has a pet dog.
She (singular)		She has a friend.
It (singular)		It has many special features.
Any Name (singular)		Susan has your pen.
I (plural)	Have	I have a dog.
We (plural)		We have red pens.
You (plural)		You have a cat.
They (plural)		They have horses.

 

     In the negative form, "has" becomes "Does not have" or "doesn't have," and "have" becomes "Do not have" or "don't have."

v  If the subjects are (I, you, we, they or plural) we use “don't have"
