Hello, In affirmative sentences, we use " has " when the subject is " he/she/it ". " She " and " he " can replace a proper name (" John ", " Mary "), while " it " can replace a singular noun (" my cat ", " that book " ) or an uncountable one (" this information "). Otherwise, we use "have".

  • Hello, In affirmative sentences, we use " has " when the subject is " he/she/it ".
  • " She " and " he " can replace a proper name (" John ", " Mary "), while " it " can replace a singular noun (" my cat ", " that book " ) or an uncountable one (" this information ").
  • Otherwise, we use "have".
  • So: I have, you have, we have, they have He has, she has, it has, John has, Mary has, my cat has, this book has ...
  • In interrogative and negative sentences, the auxiliary verb (" do ", " does ") agrees with the subject and must be followed by the bare infinitive, which is "have".

Thanks for the reply but I think you gave me more information than I need which made me confused. I read in the book that when it's singular, you use "has" and plural "have. In my sentence, "it" is singular therefore I should use "has" am I correct? I understand:

I, you, we, they have
he, she, it has...

mountain"it" is singular therefore I should use "has" ... I, you, we, they have
he, she, it has...
Yes. Exactly.
