ave had / has had

We typically use have as a main verb with an object to talk about common actions. There are lots
of things that we have in English, meaning that we enjoy or experience them. For instance, we can:
have breakfast/lunch/dinner/supper/a bite to eat/a light meal
have a hot or cold drink/a glass of wine/a cup of coffee/some mineral water
have a shower/a bath/a wash and shave
have a rest/a snooze/a siesta/a good sleep/a bad dream
have a walk/a swim/a good time/a nice evening/a day off/a holiday/a good journey/a good trip
have a word with someone/a chat/a conversation/a quarrel/an argument
have a headache/a sore throat/hay fever/a bad back/a bad cold
have a (good) job/some work to do/money/an opportunity/a chance
We use the present perfect tense when we want to connect the present with the (recent) past in
some way and this will appear as has had orhave had in full forms or as 's had or 've had in
contracted forms:
Have they had their breakfast yet? ~ They've had a glass of orange juice, but they haven't had
anything to eat yet.
He was in a foul mood when he got back, but now that he's had a shower and a snooze, he's calmed
down a bit.
Have you had a nice evening, Barbara? ~ I've had a rotten evening. I had an argument with Tom
and I've had enough for one day.
Have you always had hay fever? ~ I've had it every summer since I was 13.
Thus, your example sentence, Sazd, I've had a headache since early morning, is quite correct.
had had
Had had is the past perfect form of have when it is used as a main verb to describe our
experiences and actions. We use the past perfect when we are talking about the past and want to
refer back to an earlier past time, Madiini. In these examples, note the use
of before, after,already and by the time as a trigger for the past perfect. Note also that the
contracted form of had had is 'd had.
She'd had a lot to drink and wasn't capable of walking home by herself.
After he'd had a good night's sleep, he felt much better.
She sacked him before he had had a chance to explain his behaviour.
By the time he was twenty he'd already had four different jobs.
I'd already had a word with Joan about re-locating to Manchester and now she's had time to think
about it, she quite likes the idea.
Note that past perfect forms are a feature of if-clauses in the third type of conditional sentence
when we are explaining past actions or regretting past inaction. Thus, had had is likely to appear in
this construction:
If I hadn't had a good education, I would never have got this job.
If she had had children later in life, she would have been a better mother.
If I'd had another ten minutes, I would've finished the examination paper.
Had they had any savings they didn't need, they would've re-paid their son's student loan.

In most cases, have is used as an auxiliary verb. Examples of auxiliary verbs,

I have to go to school.
I need to go to school.
They have eaten breakfast.
She has never played football.
He does not eat breakfast.

However, the verb have is also often used as a proper verb (as opposed to being an
auxiliary verb) in place of proper verbs such as eat or partake.
I am eating breakfast.
I have eaten breakfast.
She has never indulged in sex by the time of her 18th birthday, today.

can be translated to
I am having breakfast.
I have had breakfast.
She has never had sex by the time of her 18th birthday, today.

Referring to a past time of reference,

She had never had sex by the time of her 18th birthday, three years ago.
She had had sex by the time of her 18th birthday, three years ago.

Another mode of use is its auxiliary use to encapsulate a perfected/completed

participation.
e.g., have experience,
Do you paint houses?
Are you familiar with painting houses? Do you {have experience} painting houses?
I am hiring her because she does {have experience} painting houses.
I am hiring her because she has {had experience} painting houses.
I am hiring her because she has {fulfilled experience} painting houses.
I am hiring her because she has {had painted houses} before.
I hired her because she did {have familiarity} programming in C#.
I hired her because she {fulfilled familiarity} programming in C#.
I had hired her because she had {had familiarity} programming in C#.
I had hired her because she had {acquired familiarity} programming in C#.

Then why not simply say,

I had hired her because she had {familiarity} programming in C#.

What is the difference between saying

Since he had {had the experience} of being kidnapped, he did not panic.
Since he had {gone thro the experience} of being kidnapped, he did not panic.

vs
Since he had the experience of being kidnapped, he did not panic.

?
The difference is in the temporal displacement of the observation.
When you say
Since he had the experience of being kidnapped, he did not panic.

You meant to say,

When he was kidnapped in 1980, he did not panic because we know that today he had
experience of being kidnapped before 1980.

When you say,

Since he had {gone thro/had the experience} of being kidnapped, he did not panic.

You meant to say,

When he was kidnapped in 1980, he did not panic because we know that in 1980 he had {had
the experience} of being kidnapped before 1980.

Therefore the difference is in saying,

we see that today, he had experience of being kidnapped before 1980.

we see that in 1980, he had had experience of being kidnapped before 1980.

Both sentence structures convey the same message, but differs in when the
observation was made about his having acquired the experience. But sometimes, this
difference is not trivial. For example, in a trial murder.
The prosecutor asks:
What did you think was the state of his mind on the night of the murder three months ago,
Dec 24th?

Defendant replies
He had hallucination before he was murdered three months ago.

Prosecutor irritatedly responds:

I am not asking about any hallucination he had on Dec 24th.

Defendant replies again

He had experience of hallucinating before he was murdered on Dec 24th.

Prosecutor, still annoyed

I am not asking what your opinion is today of his past-experience prior to Dec 24th. I am
asking about what you had observed on 24th Dec. about his past-experience.

Defendant complies

On that day, 24th Dec, he had {had the experience} hallucinating since childhood.
On 24th Dec, he had experienced hallucinations since childhood.
On 24th Dec, he had had hallucinations since childhood.

Cascaded temporal projections

The perfection of participation can get more complex with a cascaded temporal
projection ...
Prosecutor asks again,
Then what about what you had remembered on 24th Dec, about an incident on 20th Dec?

Defendant responds with precision

(temporal displacement of defendant's observation to 24th Dec,
but temporal displacement of deceased's status to 20th Dec):
On Dec 24th, I had wanted to teach him because, I had believed that the deceased had
{
never had {experienced satisfactory sex}
by the time of his birthday on 20th Dec
}.

Which can be translated to,

On Dec 24th, I had wanted to teach him because, I had believed that the deceased had
{
had {experienced unsatisfactory sex}
by the time of his birthday on 20th Dec
}.

Which can be translated to,

On Dec 24th, I had wanted to teach him because, I had believed that the deceased had
{
never had {had satisfactory sex}
by the time of his birthday on 20th Dec
}.

Which can be translated to,

On Dec 24th, I had wanted to teach him because, I had believed that the deceased had
{
had {had unsatisfactory sex}
by the time of his birthday on 20th Dec
}.

Using your original sentences as example

Temporal displacement to present:
I had my car for four years before I ever learned to drive it today.

Temporal displacement to last year:

I had had my car for four years before I had ever learned to drive it last year.

You use has, have, and had if you do not care about the "time" and if the time is
not definite. For example, It hasn't rained this week. < I use has because the date
or day is not definite and don't care about the day/time. And now, I'm going to use
"did", here it goes: It didn't rain LAST WEEK. Meaning, you have a definite time
here, because you are pertaining to the whole week.
Secondly, you use HAS, HAVE if you are still doing the things you do in the past
until the present. But when you use Had, it means that you are already DONE with
it in the past. There's also the use of "Had Had", I'm going to give you an example,
"I had had a girlfriend before her", here, it means you had 2 girlfriends before your
present girlfriend, 1st girlfriend broke up, and then here comes the 2nd, and finally
your present girlfriend.
Has done is not a future perfect, it's a present perfect. Just like what I said, you
use has if you are still doing the things you do in the past until the present. Bob
has done, is present, so it means that he JUST finished his homework recently. You
use "had done" if BOB finished his homework a day before, or an hours before.
Has had, have had, have had. "Has had and have had" have the same explanation
because, has is for singular and have is for plural. You use them, if you are
referring to unfinished time/ or let's say an unfinished time of event. Meaning, its
telling about the action began in the past, but not reached its end. You use that if
you are about to feel something, but you already decided to do that before reaching
the 100% of doing that particular activity(you get it?, quite confusing is it not?).
Ok, I'm just going to give you an example, here's the sentence: "I HAVE HAD
enough of you!". In this sentence you are angry, then you're just holding your
anger for about an hour, so in your mind, before you reach your maximum
ANGER(before it reaches a 100%), you'll just say that you have had enough of this
person.
Here are some points to remember when using 'have' and 'has'.
Let's start with the basics.
They can both be used to show possession and are important in making the 'perfect tenses'.
'Had' is the past tense of both 'has' and 'have'.

have
Have is used with some pronouns and plural nouns:
'I have a great English teacher.'
'You have toothpaste on your chin.'
'We have a meeting at 12.'
'Nurses have a difficult job.'

has
Has is used with the third person singular. For example:
'She has a great personality.'
'He has a new haircut.'
'The washing machine has a leak in it'.
'It has a hole near the door.'

contractions
I have = I've
you have = you've
we have = we've
they have = They've
he has = he's
it has = it's

negative contractions
has not = hasn't
have not = haven't
had not = hadn't

'have' and 'has' in questions

'Have you been to Australia?'
'Has Andrew left yet?'
'Who has my pen?'
'Has anyone seen my mobile phone?'

'have got' and 'have'

Both 'have got' and 'have' mean the same thing. There is no difference.
'I have got an i-phone.' = 'I have an i-phone'.
'You have got a message.' = You have a message.'
'She has got no time to sleep.' ='She has no time to sleep.'

'have' and 'has' verb tenses

'have/has'' is an important verb in making the 'perfect tense':
Present Perfect
'She has lived here for a long time.'
'We have seen this TV show before.'
'I have cut my finger.'

Past Perfect
'I had already decided not to go before he asked me.'
'They had finished the race before it started raining.'
'She had already left when he arrived'

modal verbs: 'have to'

'have to' is used to mean that something is necessary. It is used in the following way in
affirmative sentences:
subject + modal (have to / has to) + verb
'I have to wash my car today.'
'He has to write a report.'
'I had to go to the bank yesterday.'

'have to' in negative sentences

In negatives to show that something is not necessary we follow this rule:
subject + doesn't have to + verb
'We don't have to work tomorrow.'
'She doesn't have to wear a uniform to school'
'I didn't have to make my bed when I was young'
-ed' and '-ing' adjectives: describing feelings and things
