In old english - it is necessary to we or I with shall and other pronouns with should. now u can use all pronouns with should to give advice e.g You should go to the doctor .

Have means own .when someone say I have a car ( This means i own a car ) in present

with he , she it we use has . He has a garden

in past u use had ( i owned in the past but now i don't ) she had a long hair when she was young

'Ain't' is commonly considered bad grammar to say. However, although every English teacher will tell you not to say it, it's widely used in common speech. Some consider it a marker of low education.

Ain't is a contraction for 'am not', although it's also used for 'is not', 'are not', 'has not'.

"I ain't going to the movie." = "I am not going to the movie."
"We ain't going to the movie" = "We are not going to the movie."
"He ain't a good worker." = "He isn't a good worker."
"I ain't got no money." = "I don't have any money."

Consider the following phrase, commonly heard in my area.

"He ain't got a lick of sense." = "He isn't very smart/He doesn't have any common sense"

Also, in certain regions, you'll hear 'tain't', for 'it ain't' or 'it isn't.'
