Has Have Had Fill in Blank Worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the right word: have, has, or had.

We need to think about:
- Who is doing the action? (subject)
- Is it happening now, in the past, or with “will”?
- Does the subject match “have” (I, you, we, they) or “has” (he, she, it)?
- If it’s in the past, use “had”.
