Have should be has and the use would be that we utilize to have for possesions or obligations.This Blog is made with the purpose of learning English and should not be copied.Nota: Quiero resaltar que uno para hablar ingles necesita un balance entre sintaxis, uso, listening, vocabulary & pronunciation.
