gonna talk about using have has and had
in English please don’t forget to like
and share the video I’m going to share
the video and then I’m going to start
the lesson the first part of today’s
lesson is going to be focused on using
have to show ownership so to show that
we possess something so I’m going to
talk about each point in terms of
present tense and in terms of past tense
so let’s begin let’s start over here
part 1 showing ownership showing
ownership with have if you want to
express ownership in present tense
present tense you need to consider the
subject of your sentence so there are
two patterns to think about I you we and
they if these are your subjects if one
these is your subject you need to use
this pattern for a positive statement I
plus half plus your direct object this
is the most basic way to show ownership
with half for example I have a watch
so I subject have verb a watch is my
direct object here we follow the same
pattern for these subjects too you have
we have they have something if we want
to make a negative we need to change the
sentence we position don’t before have
so I don’t have direct object you don’t
have direct object
we don’t have they don’t have and so on
so this is for a present tense statement
something that’s true now I have or I
don’t have then let’s compare this to a
different subject so if my subject is he
or she or it we need to change the verb
have to has he has she has it has plus
art direct object so the thing we want
to express ownership of so we do the
same thing for a negative we need to
position a word before have but please
note in the negative form we don’t
change the verb here even though we
change the verb when we’re making a
positive so not doesn’t has have remains
the same in the negative form but this
part changes so he doesn’t have she
doesn’t have it doesn’t have something
so these are the two patterns for
positive and negative statements to show
ownership now to show ownership in the
present for example
has the files subject she has is my verb
and the files the object of ownership a
negative example
he doesn’t have my keys he doesn’t have
my keys so this is present tense
ownership a couple of people are sending
examples in the chat awesome thank you
someone on facebook says I have a good
teacher who like you thinks I’m hell hey
I don’t have a car yet but my sister
does my sister does is how we would say
that someone says I have a rocking horse
okay cool good someone says my sister
has a toothache right now okay good nice
examples nice example Hani le hey there
one of our members in the chat welcome
other examples ownership she has a
wonderful voice
oh thanks that’s cool I don’t have
problems very nice good examples
everybody very nice examples I don’t
have a car or a girlfriend nice one nice
examples okay so this is present tense
use of have to show ownership let’s
compare this then to past tense
use past tense use so talking about the
past so not true now but before this is
a bit simpler when we want to make a
past ownership statement we use the
subject plus had plus your direct object
so here notice have becomes had so had
is the past tense form of half so
subject plus had plus direct object to
make a negative statement about the past
we use subject plus didn’t have didn’t
have plus direct object so we often use
a pattern like this to talk about our
childhood or to talk about a specific
point in time in the past for example I
had cats I
cats maybe when I was a kid I had cats
when I was a kid so we often give the
specific point in time when when I was a
kid or he had a bag earlier he had a bag
earlier now he doesn’t have a bag but he
had a bag earlier so these are the
patterns we use to express ownership in
the past with the verb have great I see
some present tense examples and some
past tense examples like I have time to
study a lot okay good
she has homework great do you have a red
marker yes I do
okay great Ibraheim on YouTube says I
had a car two years ago don’t forget
your article yeah I had a car two years
ago okay someone said she had my
sandcastle what was what does that mean
I don’t know okay it’s grammatically
correct cool I don’t know what it means
very nice okay someone says we had a
puppy good good good good
someone says I had a bad day yeah good
examples so there are some expressions
like to have a nice day or to have fun
or to have a meeting these expressions
use have they don’t mean like owning
that thing it’s not like an object we
can keep or have but we do follow the
same rules for past and present tense
with those expressions one says how
about have got in American English I’m
going to talk about that in part three
have got is used to talk about
responsibilities okay so that is the
first part of our lesson reviewing how
to use have to show ownership let’s take
one quick break and then we’re going to
talk about part two here someone says
can you please explain has again I’m
going to explain has three more times
today many different uses and this video
is being recorded so you can check it
later
okay a quick break to remind you if you
missed it earlier this week there is a
31 percent off sale on premium and
Premium Plus memberships on our website
so the premium plus one has a certain
level a certain rate and certain like
options you can find all of the details
and compare it to the premium level from
the link below the video on youtube or
above the video on Facebook so check it
out there’s a lot of differences I’m not
going to read them all but check that
out if you are interested in learning
more English with our resources and
English class 101 dot-com okay so if
you’re just joining today’s lesson we
are talking about half hasn’t had I just
talked about using it to show ownership
of something I’m going to talk about it
for making the present tense present
perfect tense I’m sorry talking about
perfect ins so present perfect tense and
past perfect tense next if you have not
already please make sure to like and
share the video so other learners can
find it okay let’s move on then so part
two for today is about perfect tense so
a reminder perfect tense I know is
challenging for many students for many
learners a reminder about present
perfect tense we use present perfect
tense to talk about one general life
experience general life experience at a
non specific point in time so we use it
commonly to talk about travel to talk
about our work experience those are
really good ways to use present perfect
tense and we also use it to talk about
things that started in the past and
continue to the present
often with the progressive tense so I’m
not going to talk a lot about the like
the functions in that sense today I’m
going to focus on how we make these
powders today if you have questions
about that we have live streams about
using a perfect tense on the English
class 101 Channel and I
done some lessons about this too so
please check that out for more so let’s
review how to make present perfect tense
first as we talked about in this part in
the first part of today’s lesson we need
to think about the subject of our
sentence let’s start by making a
positive statement
so again if my subject is I you we or
they we use half plus the present
participle form of a verb I’ll show you
some examples of this later if we want
to make a negative we change have to
have not here I’m using the reduced form
haven’t haven’t so I have present
participle
I haven’t present participle please note
this is a key difference one key
difference is here present participle
verb this is a present participle verb
right here when we were talking about
this point notice we have have plus a
direct object a direct object we’re
showing ownership so the grammatical
structures of these sentences are very
different also the negative structures
are different I don’t have shows
ownership
I haven’t shows a lack of experience so
these are a couple of different ways to
understand the type of sentence a
speaker is using let’s compare this then
to when our subject is he or she or it
when the subject is he she or it we use
has instead of have this is the same as
part one today we use has plus again the
present participle form of the verb okay
well I’m sorry I’ve written present here
sorry this should be past I just
realized this should be faster part it’s
a past participle sorry I realized I was
reading something wrong that should be
past participle okay so we use he she or
it plus has plus our past
participial verb form here okay when we
want to make a negative we use he she or
it hasn’t plus past participle past
participle so again we need to consider
our subject here has when the subject is
he she or it have when the subject is I
you we or they
okay so let’s take a look at a few
examples of this first I talked about
using this to express your travel
experience this is a very common way to
express travel experience I have been to
Thailand this is a very common way to
express travel experience so here I is
my subject half is used here and then my
past participle verb form I have been to
Thailand I have been to Thailand so when
you make sentences like these
don’t forget your preposition to I have
been to Thailand I have been to Europe
that’s one point that many people forget
I have been to please
another example a negative example then
he hasn’t called yet he hasn’t called
yet so here we’re showing lack of
experience something we expect to happen
has not happened yet he hasn’t called
yet he hasn’t called yet so notice my
subject he my negative is hasn’t so
hasn’t is the reduced form of has not he
has not called yet he has not called yet
okay
one more example she has finished her
homework she has finished her homework
again my subjects she here have changes
to has because of Miss the subject
change and finished is my past
participle verb
she has finished her homework so this is
again present perfect tense present
perfect tense again let’s compare this
to making past so let’s look at past
perfect it is past perfect tense again I
wrote present this should be past sorry
fast participle so when we make past
perfect tense we don’t need to worry
about these differences with the subject
we don’t need to worry here we just used
subject but here again we need to change
this part to past so have becomes had in
past perfect expressions subject had
plus past participle or subject plus
hadn’t plus past participle so this is a
pattern that is commonly used with the
progressive form as in this example we
had been hiking for an hour when it
started to rain so a common way that a
pattern like this is used is to talk
about an interrupted action so something
that was continuing and then another
action stopped it or interrupted it in
this case our continuing action is here
we had been hiking so in this case I’m
using this progressive form we had been
hiking for an hour so this is a
continuing action for one hour and then
right here when so when shows us the
point at which an action was interrupted
we had been hiking for an hour when it
started to rain so the interrupting
action the thing that caused the change
is in simple past tense here when it
started to rain so again this is past
perfect tense past perfect tense the
change here is using had subject had or
subject hadn’t plus the past participle
verb form this is different from present
perfect tense which uses have or has to
make positive statements and
haven’t or hasn’t four negative
statements so I will try to check your
example some good present perfect
examples good you have taught English
for seven years great I have been to
Toco great nice examples on YouTube I
had seen something funny okay
could be could be others AB is sex ed uh
sorry I missed your comment it was
something yeah thank you I have been to
Thailand means the subject is still
there no it sounds like I have been to
Thailand sounds like I have the
experience of visiting Thailand I’m not
there now so I have been to a place just
refers to the experience of going to
that place
other examples I haven’t been to France
yet very nice nice negative example that
was from C jamon YouTube on Facebook I
see lots of people saying good morning I
don’t see example sentences there uh one
on YouTube I have took make sure you use
the past participle form I have taken
your keys I have taken your keys who day
said I had seen you last year okay it
could be so past is a little bit tricky
to make example sentences with because
like I said we often have a past past
perfect or past perfect progressive
point paired together with something
like that interrupts that action so this
one’s a little bit tricky okay so this
is how we use have had and has to make
perfect tenses present and past perfect
tenses okay
so we’ll take one more break here and
then we’ll move on to the last part
talking about responsibilities
responsibilities Oh a nice example I
have been learning with you for four
months nice one nice one
okay let’s take a quick break then as I

on to the third part of today’s lesson
third part will be responsibilities have
to and has two and then past tense as
well okay some other examples are coming
in with perfect tense though I have been
working at this company for two years
great good so lots of progressive or
continuous examples they’re very nice Oh
someone on Facebook shouldn´t I had a
really nice example of past perfect I
had been watching a movie when my mom
arrived last night so like I’d been
watching a movie alone when my mom
arrived last night or something that’s
cool so there’s that interrupting action
and a continuing action nice okay very
nice example thanks everybody let’s
continue to our last part for today
responsibilities responsibilities let’s
begin with present tense again so when
we want to talk about a present
responsibility we can use have to or as
someone asked earlier today like have
got to in American English we don’t
really use have got to so much but we do
use this reduced form we say I
gotta I gotta which technically is
grammatically incorrect I got to but
that comes from I have got to which is
more common in British English we tend
to use have to or I like hafta as it
sounds in everyday speech a little more
often so to make a responsibility
statement with have and have to we need
to again think about our subject as in I
have to you have to we have to they have
to and when we want to make a negative
statement to express no responsibility
we use don’t have to so this follows the
same pattern the ownership one I talked
about at the beginning of the lesson
this don’t is the same don’t that we saw
it there but keep in mind we’re using to
I don’t have to so these expressions are
followed by a present verb a present
verb simple present tense so you don’t
need to use past tense or participle
nothing like that so I have to go to the
bank or I have to teach a live stream I
have to plus a simple present tense verb
again with the negative form this is the
port the part the part the changes I
don’t have to plus simple present tense
verb it’s a simple present sorry it’s
hard to see simple present tense verb so
try to send some examples oh good some
people are sending examples I have to
check it good good good I’ve got to go
home good I have to eat food everyday
good I have to go to work on time
perfect on Facebook I have to go home
good I have to finish my plan good I
don’t have to eat today
really why not okay good good example is
grammatically correct I have some
questions but grammatically correct
example someone says I have to cut down
on watching YouTube oh my okay I have to
go to school
I have to learn English every day for
work good I have to put my daughter to
bed good I have to go to the mosque to
pray good I have to wake up early in the
morning wow you guys are pros
professionals with half too nicely done
nicely done
okay so now let’s move on to practicing
this with a different subject instead of
I have two let’s practice using it with
he she or it subjects so again we need
to conjugate this verb have two becomes
has two in the in the positive
statements and it becomes doesn’t have
two for negative statements again we
finish this with a verb in present tense
in present tense or if it’s easier for
you to remember has plus the infinitive
form of a verb so let’s practice making
sentences with he she and it so you can
use your classmates examples like some
ones that he has to go to the mosque to
pray or she has to practice English
every day or he has to go to the gym she
has to go to her room for example so
please keep in mind as well when your
subject is he she or it and so on think
about the other words in the sentence so
like he has to go to his room so in your
original sentence maybe you said I have
to go to my room you need to consider
changing my to his or her okay some good
examples they have to do their homework
very nice she has to eat breakfast good
he has to go to school good she has to
study harder very nice he has to work
good good good good nice nice she has to
go to the gym to lose weight okay okay
alright she has to feed her kitty very
nice very cute very adorable sentence
okay she she has to struggle learning
English grammatically correct
grammatically correct we have some
questions
okay she whoa so many examples on
YouTube and Facebook he has to watch all
your lessons who she has to clean her
room very nice very nice she has to
finish her work very nice great example
very nice examples okay so I think you
guys are professionals with using have
to and has to know trebles their great
work everybody okay
let’s continue then to the last part the
last part is using this point in the
past in the past this is very useful
when you are at the end of the day and
you’re explaining to your family member
or your friend the things you did that
day what did you do
what were your responsibilities that day
they’re finished so to do this we use
subject just any subject subject plus
had to had to plus present tense verb so
again we’re not changing the verb
present tense verb here and when we make
negatives didn’t have to didn’t tattoo
so the negative is right I’m sorry the
negative and the past tense are right
here did not have to did not have to so
subject had to present tense verb
subject didn’t have to present tense
verb so for example mmm yesterday I
didn’t have to teach a live stream
yesterday yesterday I didn’t have to
teach a live stream yesterday I didn’t
have to go to the bank yesterday I had
to come to the office so these were my
responsibilities yesterday my past
responsibilities okay some examples are
coming now I had to get up early to join
this class very nice very nice past
tense example by the past tense example
she had to eat lunch good on Facebook he
had to take care of her kids good I had
to buy a car good okay and
other perfect tense examples still too
good you didn’t have to do that site I
maybe need to so here I’m focusing on
half two for this lesson need to is used
for the same thing but we cannot use
them together so I have to or I need to
but not together not together I had to
change a filter in my automobile or my
car good good good
I had to clean my room great good we
didn’t have to take a test on English
linguistics okay he didn’t have to do
homework yesterday good I did not have
to get up late okay I didn’t have I
didn’t have to play football yesterday
so when you make a negative have does
not change
keep it have not had for past okay
also yeah a couple points about this
negative one negative past is didn’t
half to didn’t have to so don’t change
have here no change had in the positive
changes in the negative didn’t have to
she didn’t have to do something didn’t
have to do something last night I didn’t
have to clean my room good on Facebook I
didn’t have to I didn’t have to miss any
of your lessons
okay also keep in mind I won’t talk
about this so much in today’s lesson
because I’m out of time but when you are
making a negative with half to in
present or in past make sure that the
responsibility is a reasonable
expectation so we use half to four like
reasonable responsibilities things other
people often expect us to do like to go
to the bank or to clean something
to to take care of someone so we don’t
use don’t have to for like a crazy thing
or an optional thing always it’s for
like a normal expectation so please keep
that in mind I don’t have time to talk
about it so much today we have to finish
I’m late as usual so we’ll finish there
for today’s lesson about have has and
had so lots of grammar today who who’s a
big grammar review I think but I hope

have has and had and they have very
different functions so I hope that this
