Hi all

I am new to this forum as I have recently signed up. Since I am not familar with this forum. I simply clicked the ask a question button

So my question is

When do we use Has had or have had in a sentence, and what does it actually mean?

Hi The verb tense is called Present Perfect and it refers to unfinished time or unknown time of an event. It indicates that the action began at some point in the past and has not yet reached its end, or it is not important to know exactly when the action took place. To answer your question, "has had" is used for the third person singular ( he/she/it) while "have had" is used for all other persons (I/you/we/they).
