Imagine being able to express

you will be able to use "have" and
"has" confidently in your
conversations and written work.
So, let's dive in and discover the
power of "have" and "has"!
 Explanation:
Using "have" and "has" is essential for expressing possession or
ownership in English. These words help us describe what someone
has or what we ourselves possess. Understanding when to use
"have" and "has" correctly is key to effective communication.

We use "have" when talking about ourselves,

more than one person, or plural subjects like
"I," "we," "they," and "you."

For example,

"I have a pet cat"

"They have bicycles."

On the other hand, we use "has" when referring to a
singular subject, such as
"he," "she," or "it."

For instance,

"She has a toy car"

"He has a beautiful garden."

To make it clearer, let's look at
some examples:

- I have a blue backpack.

- He has two sisters.

 - We have a big house.

- The cat has long whiskers.

 - They have many books.

Remember, "have" is for ourselves and more than one person,

while "has" is for a singular subject.

Throughout this lesson, we will explore various activities and

examples to reinforce our understanding of when to use
"have" and "has" correctly.
