Hello Nikolay,

I am a German - so may be we are both "lost in translation"

English and German tenses are very much alike. Except for English having the progressive forms, which do not exist in German (...ing form)

past perfect (started before the past, and usually either continuing into the past or having an effect lasting into the past / used with some other event in the past)   // Plusquamperfekt
had had  (had + verb in past)    //  hatte gehabt

past
had  // hatte

perfect (started in the past, still going on or having an effect still lasting)

have had  //  habe gehabt
has had (3rd person)

present
have // habe

and for a bit of fun (future perfect / future 2) conjunctive/subjunctive mood
causative

I would have had had it done
Würde es getan lassen haben

And if I - in a none nonsensical form - have somebody else possess a hat for me (future 2 / conjunctive):
I would have had had the hat had.

Now please, nobody is going to not tell me they didn't have no fun at all with this.

"has had" ?

AKAIK "has"

I still used it yesterday.

English is not my native language, but I think "has had" means it still has it. If I had said "had" instead of "has had", it would mean it had it in the past, but no longer has it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
