He has........
This just came up in my head.
We use "has" for HE SHE IT (third person singular).
"he has 3 cars."
But when it is in a negative sentence:
"he didn't have three cars"
Is it correct to use have instead of has?

Your negative sentence is in the past tense, Melanie, where the third person singular inflection does not appear. He doesn't have three cars'-- it is the operator ('do' here) which takes the '-s' inflection.

Which is right?
He has a car, or
He have a car.
The sentence formation is not a question statement.
It is an information for some one to say.
