About this episode
Why don’t you have yourself a cup of joe, grab your notebook and settle in. Today we’re gonna talk about your old car that has had it, and even that old container of leftovers in the fridge. Yeah, that’s had it too. 

Today we’re going to talk about a very small word that’s used in a lot of very cool ways in English — and that word is “have.”
