Use Have or Has?

An explanation….

Do you know when to use ”have” or ‘has?” Both “have” and “has” are forms of the verb “to have,” which means to own, possess, or experience something. The choice between them depends on the subject of the sentence.

You (singular and plural) → You have a nice car.

TheyThey have three exams next week.

HeHe has a new phone.

SheShe has long hair.

ItIt has four wheels.

“Have” and “Has” are also used to form the present perfect tense, which describes actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past or started in the past and continue to the present.
