If it acts alone, it is an action verb (doing verb) meaning to possess.
e.g. I have the key.
If it acts with another verb, it is a helper verb.
e.g. I have received the key.
*Note: "have to" is a construction using the infinitive of a verb, where the verb have means "must" (I have to go = I must go). When not used in the present tense, it carries the same connotation of requiredness (I had to leave, I will have to quit).
