This video hits at each level beginner intermediate and advanced so if you're thinking
The verb have it's easy. Give me have had that's more difficult then skip to this time, but if you're thinking
Have had that's easy. That's like baby stuff
Give me had had that ones difficult
Then skip to this time or if life is very confusing and you just want to cry. Don't worry. You'll be fine
I love you. You're doing great. Just watch from now
So the verb have it works like a normal verb like do or go or drink and
in the present simple form, it looks like this I you we they
Have he she it has?
have is usually for possession or
actions which collocate linked to the verb have for example, I
Have a sister remember for he she it
She has a dog hmm
with possession in schools
they teach you this however with possession it's much more common much more natural to
Say it like this. I have got a sister
She has got a dog more natural more common is with the contraction
I've got I've got a sister she's got she's got a dog. So if you're talking about possession
Use have got it's much more common. It's much more natural
Have is not just for possession also actions collocate linked with have for example
Little sleep is called a nap and we say have a nap. Okay
For this let's use present continuous
if it's happening now now now
It's present continuous
Two important things one
don't forget the verb be and
ING with that verb
Secondly, you won't use present continuous or any
continuous tense
With possessions, for example, I'm having a dog
No, but this is an action you can use actions in continuous tenses
So I'm having a nap. That's fine. It's happening now Oh
a common mistake with have
Especially for Latin language speakers when you talk about your age
Don't say for
example I
have
20 years old. No, it's not the verb half
you are
20 years old that is a really common mistake. So don't make it. Let's use have in the negative. I you we they
Don't have he she it
Doesn't have for example
You don't have good hair now, I realize I know anyone to judge hair
However, I think we can all agree
That's not good. But I mean still it's not nice
and
Of course the form in he she it she doesn't have a heart
The common mistake I hear with this is this
You haven't good hair. I
Haven't a dog. This is really old-fashioned
No one says it I don't know why schools teach it these days. Just I guess
Stop saying I haven't
Okay questions
For I you we they it's do pronoun have but remember I said with possessions
it's much better much more natural to say have you got
Have you got a dog and then for he she it
Does he or she or it have a dog but again
You can change this. It might sound better might sound more natural to say has
he got
Has he got a dog so for possessions that sounds better sounds more natural
some of you are thinking
Hmm. Can I say have you a dog has he a dog?
That no, don't do that
This is all present tense. Okay, but
Had that's the simple past of half. So I you we they had and
You will love this. He she it also
Had I know i'm sata2. So other actions which collocates would have like
interview shower chat when talking in the simple past use had
He had a shower it's brilliant it never changes and the question form
For all pronouns doesn't change did you I wiII they he she it
have
breakfast for example and the negative form
Didn't have again this doesn't change with any pronoun. I you we they he she it
Always didn't have did you have breakfast? No, I didn't have time
I told you that for possession have got is the most common form, right?
But not in past
for past possessions don't say
Hadn't got no just say this one. I didn't have
have also is an auxilary verb you need this in perfect tenses and
It's a little bit more difficult, but don't worry
I promise it's not that bad have had this is used in present. Perfect
present perfect is about an experience which happened from a time in the past until
now
usually just an experience from your life so from birth until now, for example, you want to say I
in my life
Did the IELTS exam I have that experience and this becomes I
have done the IELTS test the form for I you we they have or fahisha it has and
The past participle or verb 3 you can call it of that verb
Do did done have done?
verb 3, but remember
with present perfect
You're not giving specific details about the experience just that you did it
Again from a past time until right now
So this could include today this week times which are still happening
So I have eaten dinner last night
No that no because last night is finished, but today today is still happening. For example
Have something to eat
You want to know hmm? Did they have something to eat?
Today from the beginning of today until now it's present perfect. So she'll say
Have you had anything to eat today?
Remember today that's still continuing. She's asking from the beginning of today
until now and her answer can be I've
had a cherry you can contract have I've
Had so when you see have had it's talking about
Something happening from a past time
Until now, how about the negative? I
Haven't had anything haven't had that's the negative remember. He she it
Hasn't had
When you start talking about the details, you're talking about specific things specific times
Then you change the past simple. For example. Oh my god. Have you been to Brazil?
That's present perfect. By the way. Yeah, I've been to Brazil. Oh my god. When did you go?
That's past simple. I'm asking about a specific time. Cool. Thanks. I went last year last year
Well, that's a specific time. Who did you go with I went with my family
You're really weird. So
experiences from a past time until now
present perfect the specific times and the details past simple and
Finally had had it's really not difficult. I promise stay here. Don't don't go any
Example question. Where did you go on your holiday last month? That's a specific time
So past simple he went to London now. He wants to know was it your first time?
And
He wants to say no the year before he had a holiday, how does he say that
You can say go on a holiday you can also say have a holiday
So, why did we use had-had?
Well, this is the past perfect. This talks about an experience
before a past experience the form
Is always the verb had I you we they he she it always
had and again the verb three in this case have had had so what he's saying is this
last month, I had a holiday to London, but before that I
Had had a holiday to London last year
So this action?
happened before this action and
Notice, they're connected. That's it. Those are the two reasons you use past perfect
this action happened before a past action and
They're connected. That's why we use past perfect. If I show you in a negative it might make more sense
Okay, let's imagine that
holiday was his first time to London and he
Got lost because he doesn't know this city and it can get confusing
so
Oh
Did you like London I got lost because I hadn't been there before this happened in the past
anything that relates to before this time and if it's connected
Then we use that
Past perfect tense, very very importantly. These two should be connected or related somehow
this is the reason for this and we know that this happened first and
the question form I
Went to London Wow, how do you been before so again remember past perfect?
It talks about something which happened or didn't happen
Before a past event. That's it. Oh and contractions. I
Had I'd
I'd been before so you'll notice with past perfect
often you'll see it with words like
before or already
Yeah, I'd already been
So words like before or already those often go with past perfect because you're talking about something
Which happened before a past action?
Ok, I want to make this clear for you. So let's put all of those tenses in
one situation
So a couple asking each other questions
We start with a past simple
When did you break up with your ex? This is past simple because it's a specific time when?
We broke up in September again specific time
September
Past simple but wait, there's drama
He's thinking from a past time September until now
We've been together since September
Since September until now that's present
perfect, and he wants to know what happened first the breakup of
Them being together what happened first, he needs to use a past perfect question
Had that relationship ended before we got together did this happen first
That relationship finished before we got together
So because she used past perfect that indicates that happened first
So actually we don't need
that sentence in
Fact we don't even need
Before we don't need to say that why
Because past perfect already implies that that happened first
Had that relationship finished before we got together
Yes, it had finished. Oh
Yes it had
So, okay
I hope you understand now how to use had have has
Have had and had had so write your own examples positives negatives and questions in the comments
I'll correct you and don't worry if this is all very confusing to you
It's not just you when I have a class
