when do i have to use the "has"? i'm kinda confuse about using this has/had/have.. pls answer me..

[EnglishwithStacy]

@tinecatle

Please see my answer to LTF85199 below for information about "had." Basically, has/have are present perfect in this lesson. It is used when the action began in the past and continues to the present: "I have been here since 10:00." "He has studied English for five years." It is also used when the completion of the activity is recent: I have finished dinner. The meaning can be "recently" or "just." "Yet" and "already" are also two words that are commonly used with present perfect.

Anyone please help, What is difference between "He went to the gym" He have/had gone to the gym" ??? which is the right statement?

[EnglishwithStacy]

@LTF85199

"He went to the gym" is past tense, for example, "yesterday " or "an hour ago." 

He have gone . . . " is incorrect (not English).

"He had gone . . . " is past perfect. You use it when you have two events, one before the other: "I went to Tom's house, but he wasn't there. He had gone to the gym." Use "had + past participle" with the event that happens first.

as I can see you have represented the short pronuntiation for fast english this way has = uz, have = uv or a, had = ud; but my question is what would be the phonetic transcription for uz, uv , ud ? would be this way uz = ʌz, uv = ʌv, ud = ʌd or this uz = əz , uv = əv, ud = əd? because english was taught to me with phonetic transcription in other words if I say he's done his homework the phonetic transcription would be this way/ hi: ʌz dʌn ........./ or this hi: əz dʌn ......./ ?.

thank you !

Madam, if you have spoken loudly, it had been useful to me. I didn't catch anything really. Please make videos as they sound good to the lisner. Hope your up coming vidoes don't have such low volume sound. Although contents of videos are good and thanks.
