Hi everyone, it's Agnieszka Murdoch from 5-Minute Language. Welcome to my channel if you're
new here make sure you subscribe if you're trying to improve your English so in this video we're
talking about have has and had so we will be looking at different situations in which you
would use each of them we will look at different combinations of them so sometimes you see have had
had and we will also look at the different tenses and grammar structures that use have had and
has so for example the present perfect the past perfect the present simple the past simple so I
hope this will be useful so the first most obvious thing is that has is the third person singular of
have so I have a dog and my sister has a dog that is the difference I have you have but she has
I can also say I've got a dog and she's got a dog so I've got is I have got and she's got is she
has got they mean the same thing so I have a dog and I've got a dog are the same she has a dog and
she's got a dog is also the same the difference is how you ask questions and make negative sentences
so I have a dog the question would be do I have a dog so you need do but when I say I've got a dog
the question is have I got a dog so you need have in the question the same with my sister
she has a dog does she have a dog she's got a dog has she got a dog in negative sentences it's the
same principle I have a dog I don't have a dog she has a dog she doesn't have a dog but when
it's have got I have got a dog I haven't got a dog okay let's move on to my favorite thing
which is the present perfect I have been I have been to New York twice in my life
so I'm talking about my whole life and the number of times that I have visited New York
so I have been is the present perfect I can also use the present perfect to talk about
something that started in the past and is still true now I have been in New York for two months
so I came here two months ago and I am still here now so you need have to make
a sentence in the present perfect so what's the difference between I have had and I had had a cat
I have had is still true I got my cat some time ago and I'm talking about the whole period of
time between when I got him and now and I still have my cat I have had my cat for two years
I had had my cat is just about the past we don't know if I still have my cat all we know is that
we're talking about the period of time between when I got my cat and some other point in the past
so that is the difference between the present perfect and the past perfect now if I had if I
had a dog I would take him for a walk if I had a dog is a theoretical hypothetical situation it's
not true I'm just imagining what would happen if I had a dog in theory so it's the second conditional
if I had a dog I would take him for a walk so the first part of this conditional sentence
is in the past simple and the second one uses wood if I had a dog I would take him for a walk
now if I had had a dog we've got two hats again if I had had a dog last year I would have taken
him for a walk that's the third conditional if I had had a dog back then so it's a hypothetical
situation in the past not in the present I'm not thinking about now the future I'm only thinking
about last year so last year if I had had a dog I would have taken him for a walk so the first had
is the auxiliary verb for the past perfect and the second had is just a past participle of the verb
to have and that's why you happen to have both of them together in one sentence I hope you enjoyed
