How to Use This Have Has PowerPoint in Class

Start the presentation by using the first slide to highlight that have and has are different forms of the same verb, to have. Explain that this verb is mainly used to show possession. A simple way to demonstrate is with real objects in the classroom:

• Hold up something of yours and say: “I have a book.”
• Point to something belonging to a student and say: “She has a pink pencil case.”

This clear demonstration helps students quickly understand the core meaning of to have. Next, move to the slide that explains the rules: use have with I, you, we, they and has with he, she, it. Write these rules on the board so students can refer back to them later in the lesson. Work through the example slides and have students repeat after you.

Tip: For each example, encourage students to create their own similar sentences. For example:

• Teacher: “She has a pink dress.”
• Prompt: “What else does she have?”
• Students: “She has a brown purse.” / “She has red hair.”

Finally, use the Have or Has Quiz at the end of the presentation. Each question asks students to choose have or has to complete a sentence. This provides a quick review and checks that everyone can apply the rules correctly. You can also complete our interactive Have Has Quiz in class or share it with students to complete at home.
