ones difficult then skip to this time or

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
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
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
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 I’ll
usually do a few lessons on past perfect
before moving on so if you’re still a
bit confused don’t worry watch again
take it slow you will get there I
