Talking Re: using "Having"

(having) may have lots of meanings. it may mean (owning), if used as a verb. it may mean (eating) if there is a polite use of this verb.

you'd better send the whole sentence to the site to get the meaning of this verb.

Hi,
I am shah.
Have - verb
Present tense - Have
Past tense - Had
Past participle - Had
Meaning: Have - being some thing us.
That is used for Continuous tense.
Ex. I am having -Present Tense
I was having - Past Tense
I willbe having - Future Tense
Kindly reply if it is understood

Shah

Default Re: using "Having"

"Having" basically means "being in possession of something"

e.g. I am having breakfast = I have food and I am eating it
I will be having breakfast when you call = I will be in possession of food

"Having" usually substitutes another verb but it implies possession of something.

another example: I am having a great time = I feel happy because of what is happening (in possession of a feeling of happiness)

I know it may sound pretty vague, but hey, that's English!
