'Have forms' are an important set in Auxiliary ( Helping) verbs. They can act independently as Main verbs and also help other main verbs.
How &
When to use ‘have’ forms :
1. ‘Have forms’ are used as main
verbs, independently, as substitute for the main verbs possess, eat, drink, get..etc. ( Simple present tense / Simple past tense )
Ex: I/we/you/they have
a cycle .
I have my lunch at 1.30pm regularly
I have my lunch at 1.30pm regularly
He/ she/It has
many toys.
He has his tea at 7am every day.
He has his tea at 7am every day.
I had my dinner at 8pm.
They had many books in school days.
They had many books in school days.
I shall have my lunch later. ( Simple Future)
2. As helping verb, used before V3, (Present/Past/Future Perfect Tense )
Ex : I have
taken lunch just now.

· Generally we avoid telling time in any Perfect Tense.
We can use the signal words/ adverbs of time like just now, just then, recently,
lately, already..etc.
3. As helping verb , used before been+ ing

Ex : I /We/You/They have been learning grammar.
He/ She has been waiting for the bus.
I/We/He/They
had been working on that project.

have been watching the cricket match.
- ‘Have been’ verb form without main verb is also used instead of the verbs ‘ go, visit , exist ‘
I have been to Delhi many times. She has been
to London once.
He has been good.
