had- used in past tense. ( I had, we had, ...)

has- present tense of someone elses possession ( she has, he has,...)

have- used in present tense ( I have, you have, we have, they have,
Well, 'have' and 'has' are present tense words. 'Have' is to use when you are referring to more than one noun, or yourself. 'Has' is when you are only referring to one noun. So, you would use these when something is currently happening, or going on at the moment. 'Had' is a past tense word, which you would use when you are talking about something that used to be so, or is not anymore.

It is the past tense of the verb to have eg :

I had a cold last week but now I am better.

You had chicken yesterday, today you have pasta.

He had two girl friends last year and none this year.

We had the world's largest empire but now it's nearly all gone.

The verb to have is also used as an auxiliary verb and the past tense of the verb to have is used to form the pluperfect tense of other verbs.

Past Perfect tense: I have cooked the dinner

Pluperfect tense : I had cleaned the house before I cooked the dinner.

(had here is an auxiliary or helping verb. The perfect tense describes a completed event in the past. The pluperfect describes a completed event which happened even before that)
