Correct Usage of "Had Had" and "Have Had / Has Had"
You have to use "had had" if something has been done long back, not recently. But if something has been done recently, then you can use "have had" or "has had" depending on the pronoun.
Using "Have" and "Has" Correctly
For example, I have had a good lunch this afternoon. Has or have exercise? Have-Has She _____ long hair. a. is c. has … Suzy has a car.
Understanding "Have Had" and "Has Had"
What I have had means? Have had is ""to have"" in the Present perfect tense. This means that the action was completed in the past and has a consequence in the present.
Differentiating "Has Been" and "Had Been"
Present perfect ‘have/has been ‘ is used when describing an action completed in the recent past and still assumes importance in the present. We use ‘had been’ when you describe something that happened in the past before something else in the past.
Using "Have" as a Main Verb
When used as a main verb, the meaning of the verb “to have” indicates possession and ownership, like in the sentence “I have a bike”, and also it can mean to perform an action, for example, “Lisa has breakfast every morning”, where the “to have” verb is used to talk about the action of eating breakfast.
