- Has → for he, she, it (singular third person) in present tense.
- Have → for I, you, we, they (and plural subjects) in present tense.
- Had → for past tense (any subject).

4. They ______ breakfast at 6:30 this morning.

5. Rohan ______ six pencils.

6. I ______ many friends.

7. We ______ a big house when I was a kid.
→ “When I was a kid” = past → had

8. Grandma ______ a pet rabbit.
→ Grandma = she → present tense → has

9. Bonny ______ finished her project work.
→ “Finished” = past action → has (present perfect — but since we’re only choosing from has/have/had, and it’s completed action, “has” fits if we assume recent completion; however, note: “had finished” would be past perfect, but context doesn’t specify earlier past. Since no other clue, and “finished” is past participle, we use “has” for present perfect. But wait — let’s check: In simple grammar exercises like this, if it says “finished”, and no time marker, sometimes they expect “has”. However, looking at Q4 and Q7, they used “had” for past events. Here, no time given — but “finished” suggests completed action. Actually, in standard usage: “Bonny has finished” = now done. “Bonny had finished” = before something else in past. Since no other event mentioned, likely has. BUT — let’s see answer key pattern later. For now, go with has.

Wait — actually, rethinking: In many elementary worksheets, if the verb is past participle (“finished”), and no auxiliary is given, they might expect “has” for present perfect. Yes, so has.

10. Do you ______ a balloon.
→ After “Do you”, we use base form → have

11. This Hen ______ red wings.
→ “This Hen” = it → present tense → has

12. Sam ______ fun at the party last Sunday.
→ “Last Sunday” = past → had

Now let’s double-check tricky ones:

Q9: “Bonny ______ finished...” — If it were past perfect, it’d need another past event. Since there isn’t, and it’s just stating completion, “has” is correct for present perfect. So yes, has.

Q4: “They ______ breakfast at 6:30 this morning.” — “This morning” can be present or past depending on time of day, but since it specifies exact time and implies it’s over, had is safe.

Q7: Clearly past → had

Q12: “last Sunday” → definitely past → had

All others are straightforward.
