How to use 'Have' / 'Has' / 'Have Had' / 'Had Had' (The EASY Way!) - Learn English Grammar 

In my opinion he is the best teacher ever because he teaches with humour and that makes learning easier.

If I had had a teacher like you when I was a teenager, I wouldn't have had to study so hard later.

Your drawings are extraordinarily nice.

Growing up speaking english my whole life, I never realized how confusing certain grammatical structures could be to the ears of most english learners. Never paid attention at all how some parts such as ’had had‘ may sound so unnatural to foreigners whose first language isn‘t english. Stumbled on your video while searching for language-themed videos... great job!

lots of learning years pressed in 15 minutes. what I call 'comprehensible input'! 👍Thanks ever so much!👏👏👏

This is for much the best explanation I've ever seen, greetings from Mexico!

Omg I need thiiisss! Thanks ever so much Alyyyy!

Very well explained. I just need to practice it. Love you Aly, love your style.

You're an amazing teacher Aly! Listening to you makes it all easy to understand !

First of all thank you for extremely useful videos. I listen them almost every day and I can see it helps me to improve my English. So, this one in very nice way explains tangled differences between these tenses. I could say I know how to use it but in everyday talking at work I usually forget about this and even don't wonder how to use for. Therefore this is double helpful for me because of good explanation and reminding to me about this important tenses used every day in English. Regards to.

Wow. I've started to watch your video since last month. You are an amazing and the best teacher ever ever. Thank you so much for your help. I'm living in Australia and got a certificate of TESOL. But, I really wanted and want to improve my English better level of it. I think you are THE solution for my concern. I'll be here for every single day. Thanks again. :)

spend years learning present perfect and past perfect yet still confused and watch this once i really got it now 😌 THANKYOU SO MUCH! greetings from indonesia🇲🇨

Thank you so much for this amazing class! I do appreciate it!

I'm 20 years old. I have got 3 cats. I had 3 cats. When you got home, I had had studied everything. She has a table. They have 3 houses outside the city. I have been in the same school since I was 12. She has been very effective.

You are a good teacher and a creative artist 👍👍👍 Well done 👍

An intensive lisntening for a long period of time, now I can distinguish the difference between these form of verbs. Thanks ally

I loved this class... I had some questions about present perfect and past perfect, now could understand! Awesome!!! Congrats! Great teacher!

So well explained in such an amusing way! I did find the "have/has, have had & had had" tricky at the beginning and it took me a while to learn how to use it properly (I achieved it by practicing and failing a lot), but this video will help lots of people. Bravo! Love your videos and your job!

I was very lucky to find your channel. thank you. I'm brazilian

You make this grammar easier to understand and also in a short time. Thank you ~

Why I really enjoy about your videos is that they help me improve my knowledge of English. I knew how to use most of these forms of the verb have, but I didn't always know why I used them. Now, I know and it is so much better. Thank you very much for that.

You're really great, I'm a teacher in Poland and use your videos in my classes. My students like you too :)

Your videos are helping me a lot really I've been watching them and I feel like I'm improving in my English. I don't know how to thank you😢💕

The best lesson I've ever had. Thanks .

What a great lesson! Opened the Video skipped to 6.25, got the explanation I needed, and still continued watching the rest of the video.

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 m

I still struggle with have had and had had but I understand it better now because of you😅 thank you!

Dear Aly, I've been watching your video since I was in Indonesia trying to familiarise myself with cool british accents while waiting the intake of my master study in the UK. Now, I'm at Uni of Southampton and very happy to keep watching your video. Even I am inspired to be a RU-vidr. 😄😄😄 I owe my thanks to you.

I have an advanced student currently learning present and past perfect, so this video popping up on my timeline was quite fortunate! It's interesting to see how someone else explains tenses. Love your channel 😊

You've got an amazing method of teaching 👍you're the best for sure😍

I have never met such an amazing teacher like you before ( someone correct me please if my sentence is wrong ;) )

Finally someone explained the way I can understand! You’re a great teacher!!

Excellent, thank you very much

Omg.I can't understand teachers who speaks my native language.But I understand you!

You're the best teacher ever! I wish you were my teacher😢❤️

You are brillant ! I wish I had access to such lessons when I started learning English. Thank you for your clear explanations and examples. I sure keep learning and this is great! 😄

The transporter teaching grammar!? Heck yeah!

14:55.... that moment when Aly's kindness made me feel good again (after a little bit of despair, hehehe). I'll need a few more views to be able to make good examples.... Anyway, I have been in London in 2016... Was my second time in europe, I had a few days in the city. But, in another trip, 2 years before, I had had a week in London, was my first time in Europe, and I still have in my memory the feeling to be at the tube for the first time, coming from Heathrow to the city, listen to folk music that two artists performed on the train.

I'm trying to understand "had had" but I dont know if the next example is correct. This is my example: My course had finished before I joined to this academy. Thanks from Colombia🇨🇴

Best English teacher ever. Made me start to study english seriously so much more than when I was in a course

wonderful teacher! keep up the amazing work! thanks so much!!!

I went to see my friend but I didn't find her and someone told me she had gone !😍😍😍 Many thanks and love to you teacher

Hi papa cool English Teacher... I've been watching this video for several times and I've got your explanation easily but.. when I tried to practice them, it's gone, it has been blew away by the wind from my mind. (Please correct my sentences, i would be very grateful to get correction from sweet handsome English teacher Papa Aly... Love you 300 🎉🎊)

Brilliant! Thanks a lot!

You really are a great teacher, thanks! ♡

What english accent do you speak actually? For me, this is the best british accent so far. My english is not too good, but with this accent i can catch most of the words you say. Its very clear and understandable.

Hi, Aly! How do you do? May I ask a question? What is the meaning of the sentence: James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher? Wow! There are eleven hads in that sentence.

Congrats on your energy and class approach. Very good!

Thank you so much. Great vid...

I have a question about 'i'm having a nap". Technicaly, how can i tell "i'm having a nap" if i'm sleeping?

I hadn't understood past perfect before i watched this video

Brilliant..Papa makes it simple and exciting.Thank u

Your teaching technique is amazing! Thank you very much! 🙌

Can I say “I haven’t got “ or “I don’t have “

You're one of my favourite teacher ......i am a begginer of english and you help me alot ....so at last thank you sir

You're AMAZING man! Thank you so much!

Great Lesson!! Thanks. I had had many doubts about past perfect until I watched this video. Really helpful as always.

I use has/have/had in which sentence I feel comfortable with 😂

I had realized that I need to burn all my university knowledges) See you on twitch ;)

Perfect explanation.All the examples make me understand even better.

How amazing you are! It's very clear and hilarious. Thank you so much. You've got my support.

Guys.. He is a ravenclaw!!! And ravenclaws are intelligent ones.. Who agrees!!!? 😇

It’s was nice talk about age, because in Brazil it’s normal say “have” Eu tenho 20 anos ( I have 20 years) ✖️ Eu tenho 20 anos (I’m 20 years) ✔️

I really like the way how you teach English, clearer and easy to listen, awesome!!!

Thanks for the video!! I am going to watch again .. I always thought that was difficult, but you made easier to understand! Thanks again for putting all this have at the same video!!

-Did you watch this video till the end? -Yes I did. -what about coments? -well, I had red most of them before video came to the middle.

I wish I had had more time these years, I had been working too much until last week, now I can say I have been very busy

I love this guy, his explanation is awesome.

Tem, Thank Aly, you are the best teacher!

I loveeee your t-shirt! You're a ravenclaw❤

I went to see my girlfriend but I didn't find her anywhere and someone told me she had left me! we've been together for two years however now we broke up

Simple and beautiful explanation. I'm too thankful 🌹🌹 Have a nice time

Very good explanations! Thank you. 😊

"I've got" is UK English but "I have" is US English, you should make that distinction. Great explanations otherwise :)

For some reason, I always forget to put the second had in "had had" 🤣🤣🤣. "I would have gone to Connemara National Park (Ireland) if I had HAD more time."

Love this format!

Thank you. Great lesson

'Have had', Had had' never existed for me before. 😂😂

Question, how am I going to say, I'm having a nap, if I'm actually sleeping...?

Incredible teacher

Decided to watch the whole video. Don't regret it. Questions with have got are blowing my mind. I've never used this structure before.

I Had many friends with awful grammar Is this right ???

But how to say : I had a dog 2years ago .?!

I am an English teacher and you are really fun to watch. I am using you clips whenever I finish a subject!

Best English teacher and teacher of english I have ever seen....

This was a top notch video. Clear & undestanable. Thx for sharing it.

Absolutely loved the way he talks

Oh great and persuasively way . thank you so much

I have started earlier this afternoon to watch the videos of papateachme on RU-vid. But I had done it before today in the morning for some time. So I've got the feeling that I learned more today than I ever had before in school about English. I'm very grateful for this great opportunity! Thanks
