Hi anyone of you coaches and members. I would like you to give me light on the correct usage of verb have or has and had. I used to confuse when I should have use have and had. My problem is more on tenses Example: I do not know if this is correct - If I have a good opportunity to go to Canada, I will visit my uncle or If I had wake up early this morning I would have visit you. Are these both correct? Will you please give me some guidelines in using save verbs. Thank you and God Bless!
Mister Micawber, would you please tell me the correct usage of have, has and had.
Hello Marnie,
If you wish to discuss a new topic, then please start a new thread; do not highjack another member’s thread. As for your question to me, it is very general, so I can only give you a very general answer:
Have: present tense, all persons except 3rd person singular. I have, you have, we have, they have a new car this year.
Has: present tense, 3rd person singular. He has, she has, it has a new car this year.
Had: past tense. I/You/She/We/They had a new car last year.
The verb is also used in forming the ‘perfect’ tenses or aspects: I have left; She has eaten; They had visited China several times.
Please do a Google search for that phrase for more information.
If I have a good opportunity to go to Canada, I will visit my uncle or If I had wake up early this morning I would have visit you.
The correct sentences:
If I have the opportunity to go to Canada, I will visit my uncle
If I had woken up early this morning, I would have visited you.
Thank you for answering my query… If I had known it at once, I would have use it since then. Is this correct?
