| Both have/has and am/is/are (and also do/does/did) can be auxiliary verbs so that they are used with another verb to show its tense, person, mood etc. For example, 'I am writing', 'I have done this exercise', 'she is listening'. And these verbs can be main verbs, independent, with their own lexical meaning. For example, 'my name is Natasha, I am Ukrainian', 'I have brown eyes', 'she has a cat'. have/has and am/is/are are used in present tenses (sometimes future tenses). The verb form 'have' is used in plural and with 'I' and after modal verbs. For example, 'I have a dog', 'we/they/you have books', 'The girls have nice hair', 'you can have it'. 'Has' is used in singular, for example 'he/she/it has an opinion', 'The boy has a bag'. 'Am' is used only with pronoun 'I'. For example, 'I am happy', 'I am late'. 'Are' is used in plural. For example, 'we/they/you are good friends', 'the books are interesting' etc. You can learn more and practise here http://www.geocities.com/gob72/grammarverbtenses.html#one Hope it will help :) |

'Has' is 3rd person singular, everything else is 'have'. 'Am' is 1st person singular, 'is' is 3rd person singular, everything else is 'are'.
1st person singular is "I", 1st person plural is "we". 2nd person singular and plural is "you" 3rd person singular is "he/she/it", 3rd person plural is "they". _________________ Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.
