When to use have had , has had and have has
 
I will leave it to others to give you a full answer if they wish. All I will say is that "have has" does not exist in English.

By the way, this question smells like homework. We don't do homework.
 
When [STRIKE]to[/STRIKE] do we use "have had", "has had" and "have has"?

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please note my corrections above. We don't start questions with "When to" or "How to" (a forum regular!). You need to mark out the words you are asking us about in some way - I have enclosed them in quotation marks above. It's important to follow these rules of written English at all times:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with one appropriate punctuation mark. (In this case, you needed a question mark.)
- Don't put a space before a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.

As probus said, we don't help with homework so if that's what this is, you have to do it on your own. You can come back to us for help if your teacher makes any corrections you don't understand.

At the very least, if it's not homework, you need to provide complete sentences for us to look at so that we can see how you are trying to use those word combinations.
 
Hi, Thanks for your corrections. It’s not a homework, I recently heard these words while someone speaking, I wonder whether these are exists as I use only have, had and has individually.
so I am eager to learn how to use this.

I guess you mean you recently heard somebody say those things. (Don't copy them!)

Please note that it is not worth learning how to use something that is not, in fact, English usage.

Please note my corrections above.

1. "have has" is not used. Forget it.
2. "have had" and "has had" are used in the present perfect tense of the verb "[to] have".

I have had a cold for three weeks.
He has had a headache since this morning.
Have they had dinner yet?
Have you studied the present perfect yet?
