Has or Have Worksheets
About Our Has or Have Worksheets
Think of has and have as the grammar twins who keep sentences tidy and trustworthy. One twin (has) teams up with "he," "she," and "it," while the other (have) hangs out with "I," "you," "we," and "they." When students mix them up, sentences wobble like a chair with a short leg. These worksheets steady the chair so ideas sit comfortably and clearly. With bite-sized practice and friendly explanations, learners quickly hear which form fits and why.
Using the correct form matters for both possession and perfect tenses. "She has a ticket" and "They have arrived" are small choices with big clarity payoffs. Once students link subject to the right helper, their writing sounds polished and purposeful. The result is communication that feels smooth to read, easy to grade, and natural to say out loud. Confidence grows because rules become habits.
This collection brings variety: quick identifications, careful corrections, picture prompts, and even mini "proofreading like an editor" moments. Students encounter sentences they might actually say, not just textbook robots. Repetition without boredom is the goal-same core skill, fresh angles. When the last page is done, "has" and "have" won't feel like a quiz trap; they'll feel like second nature. High‑five to clean, sturdy sentences!
A Look At Each Worksheet
Animal Actions
Students match subjects like "the cheetah" and "the penguins" to the right form-has or have-in lively animal sentences. The theme keeps attention high while the grammar stays crystal clear. By the end, agreement is as natural as a duck in water.
Choose Wisely
Each sentence offers a fork in the road: choose has or have and justify it with the subject. It's a fast, confidence‑building decision workout. Students start hearing the correct option before they even circle it.
Circle Your Choice
Lean and focused: two options in each sentence, one correct answer to circle. The quick reps make agreement feel automatic. Perfect as warm‑ups, exit tickets, or speed rounds.
Complete the Sentence
Learners fill in the blank with has or have to complete real‑sounding statements. The context forces careful thinking about singulars, plurals, and pronouns. It's short, satisfying, and great for daily practice.
Conjugation Chart
A tidy organizer shows how has/have pair with different subjects across examples. Students turn rules into a visual they can remember. The chart becomes a handy reference they'll reach for again.
Correct Circle
Circling returns-but now with a twist: identify and correct the wrong choice in already‑written sentences. It trains the editorial eye while reinforcing agreement. Tiny edits, big clarity.
Correct or Incorrect?
Students label sentences and then fix any that wobble. It's part detective game, part mechanic shop for grammar. By the end, they're confidently diagnosing and repairing subject‑verb glitches.
Direct Object Details
Focus on sentences that also include direct objects, so students track both who has/have and what. It builds multi‑step attention without overwhelming. Agreement lands even when more words join the party.
Fill‑in Fun
A playful set of blanks helps students choose quickly and keep momentum. Repetition locks the pattern into long‑term memory. It's breezy practice that still packs skill gains.
Fix the Errors
Classic proofreading: find the subject, check the verb, patch the sentence. Students learn a repeatable fix‑it routine. When they can repair it, they truly understand it.
Have vs. Has
The headliner drill: clear contrasts that spotlight when each form belongs. It's the distilled essence of the skill, no distractions. After this sheet, the twins are no longer confusing.
Picture Prompts
Images spark sentences students actually want to write-then they choose has or have to fit. Visual cues make agreement feel practical and memorable. Creative brains + clear grammar = chef's kiss.
Picture Prompts 2
Round two of visual inspiration keeps the practice fresh. New scenes, new subjects, same sturdy rule. The repetition with novelty cements mastery.
Shared Opinions
Students write or complete opinion sentences using has/have ("Our class has...", "We have..."). It connects grammar to voice and audience. Suddenly, rules help them say what they think.
Storage Sentence
Objects, containers, and quantities appear in tidy, realistic lines ("The box has...", "The shelves have..."). It's everyday English that nails number agreement. Utility and clarity, neatly packed.
When to Use Has or Have?
Has and have are forms of the verb to have. As a main verb, they show possession or relationships ("She has a map," "We have time"). As a helper, they build perfect tenses ("He has finished," "They have studied"). The choice between them depends on the subject, not the mood of the writer or how fancy the sentence sounds. When the subject changes, the helper must change with it.
Use has with third‑person singular subjects: he, she, it, or a single named thing ("The robot has a charger"). Use have with I, you, we, they and with plural nouns ("The robots have chargers"). That's the heart of the rule. Once the pairing is automatic, students stop guessing and start writing fluently. Clarity follows every time.
These forms also power the present perfect. We say "She has finished her sketch" but "They have finished their sketches." The tense talks about a completed action that still matters now-homework you've done, a chapter you've read, a task you've checked off. Keep the subject in mind, attach has or have, and then add the past participle. Snap-clean tense, clear meaning.
Tricky spots exist, but they're beatable. Compound subjects ("Mia and Luis...") take have because the subject is plural, even though each name is singular. Collective or group‑sounding nouns need careful reading: "The team has a plan" (as one unit), but "The team have arrived" can appear in some dialects; in consistent classroom English, treat the team as a singular unit unless your curriculum specifies otherwise. Think of the subject's number, not the words around it.
Finally, context teaches faster than rules alone. When students see has/have inside sentences they might actually say-about classmates, clubs, pets, or projects-the pattern sticks. These worksheets keep the context friendly and familiar so agreement becomes intuitive. The goal isn't memorization; it's muscle memory.
Common Mistakes with Has or Have
Sentence - "She have a cat."
Corrected Sentence - "She has a cat."
Why Is That Correct? - "She" is third‑person singular, so the verb must be has. Matching the subject's number fixes the agreement.
Sentence - "They has finished their homework."
Corrected Sentence - "They have finished their homework."
Why Is That Correct? - "They" is plural, so it pairs with have in both possession and perfect tenses. The correction restores proper subject‑verb alignment.
Sentence - "John and Mary has a car."
Corrected Sentence - "John and Mary have a car."
Why Is That Correct? - A compound subject counts as plural, which requires have. Two names, one rule: plural subject → have.
