    "Have" and "has" are in the present tense. Note that "has" is only used for the 3rd person singular pronouns 'he/she/it'. "Had" is the past tense of both, for all the personal pronouns. I have a bicycle. (1st person singular/present tense) You have a bicycle. (2nd person singular or plural/present tense) He/She has a bicycle. (3rd person singular/present tense) We have a bicycle. (1st person plural/present tense) They have a bicycle. (3rd person plural/present tense) BUT I had an exam yesterday. (1st person singular/past tense) You had an exam yesterday (2nd person singular or plural/past tense) He/She had an exam yesterday. (3rd person singular/past tense) We had an exam yesterday. (1st person plural/past tense) They had an exam yesterday. (3rd person plural/past tense)
