Use have or has to say what someone owns or what a person or thing has.
The idea
Use have with I, you, we and they. Use has with he, she, it or a singular noun: She has two sisters. These forms can describe possession, relationships or features. In many contexts have got or has got can express the same ideas.
Examples
- I have a blue bag.
- You have a new message.
- She has two sisters.
- The house has a small garden.
- We have enough time.
- They have a question.

Watch out
Do not use has with I or a plural subject: say They have a question, not They has a question. Questions and negatives with main-verb have use different patterns.
