My name is Ronnie.

I have a hippo or the long word is hippopotamus.

But you don't need to worry about saying the whole word to say hippo.

I have a hippo and if you saw my last video on using the verb have you know it's confusing.

It's an irregular verb.

So when we use he she or it we have to change it to has.

But if we say I you we or they We have to use just the base and they have so I you we they have in the present tense.

He she and it has in the present tense.

Be careful of the -2.

We have to use the auxiliary Ferb, don't have with you.

We and they and then doesn't have with he she and it so you might want to go back and review that lesson or check it out here.

The important thing to remember is that we're only going to use have and has in the present tense with a noun at the end of the sentence.

We're not going to use a verb like an action word.

We're not going to use an adjective like showing emotion so I can say something like I have a hippo, she has a marker that's okay.

Now what we didn't get into in the other lesson was the past tense.

Okay, so the past tense of have and has it's easy.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

It's so easy.

It's so cool.

We don't have to worry about you.

We they he she it he should, we're just going to use had so it does not matter the subject any subject you want Yes we're only always going to use had so he had she had I had that's easy the negative.

Now this is where a lot of learners of english of this crazy language get confused because when we talk about the negative we have to use again the auxiliary verb, but the auxiliary verb is going to be in the past in the negative.

And we're gonna say didn't have a lot of the time.

People say she didn't had didn't had is not correct.

We have to use the base verb again.

So that's why it's important to review this so we know how to do this.

What happens in english is when we use the past tense, the auxiliary verb is going to tell us what time it is.

What time is it?

The past verb is going to tell us the if it's past, present or future, the auxiliary verb is going to tell us.

So didn't have be careful.

Don't say I didn't half has you have to say didn't have not didn't had see even I'm confusing it.

So example I had a hippo, she didn't have a hippo and we can't forget the question.

It's always important to know how to ask someone a question.

When we use the past tense to use again.

We have to use the base verb even though it's past.

I know you want to think, oh did someone had that's wrong?

So we have to say did the subject?

So for example I can say he did he have did he have a hippo?

And at the end of a question in english always raise your voice to make it sound like a question.

So the intonation would be, did she have a pizza?

Always make it go up to let the person know that you're asking a question.

So the simple past of the verb have is a little bit easy because we don't have to change it for he she and it we just use had but be careful with the negative.

We have to use didn't have okay, let's go through some examples of using have in the past.

So it's very very common that people will ask you questions about possessing something or having something.

That's how we use the verb.

So they will say Ronnie, did you have a hippo?

And I would say yes, I had a hippo, I can say did they have a plant?

And the person can say oh you know what?

They had a plant but it died.

Another example I can say did it have api.

So this is kind of funny because the P.

Is a letter right?

Um did it have a P.

In the letter in the word again, you can say yes, it had api or in the negative, how would you say it in a negative?

You would say it good, it didn't have a p.

good um We can say he and she and it.

Right so did she have a painting?

This is a painting.

I didn't paint this it's okay.

And I can say oh yeah she or he had a painting.

Let's try the next question.

I want you to use this subject.

I and let's use this.

This is a marker.

So you can say you can say did I have a marker?

Huh?

Who are you talking to?

You are talking to yourself?

That's okay.

Say uh did I have lunch today?

Oh I didn't have lunch today.

Did you have lunch today?

If you want to answer in the positive you can say yes yes yes I had lunch today.

Let's do one more example.

We can use we so we as a group of people one or two or three or 100 people including yourself.

So I can say oh did we have a good time mm We didn't have a good time.

Oh we did yeah we had a good time.

All right thank you bye.
