Singular

First person: I have

Second person: You have

Third person: He has

Plural:

First person: We have

Second person: You have

Third person: They have

So it is only third-person singular that takes "has." All others use "have." including "You."

Hi

I guess, you may have problems with the following.

There are several Pronouns; e.g. Everything, anything, nothing, no one, anybody, somebody, something, everybody, nobody, none that are considered Singular. After these pronouns we put the verbs or axialliary verbs in Singular.

E.g. Everybody is happy.
None of the kids is sad.
