As I have been doing for a while, I conjugated another verb in every tense, mood, and voice that it can be used. This week I did "haben" (to have). You can see the conjugation in the video below or you can keep scrolling to see some examples of this verb in action in each of the tenses and moods. There isn't a passive voice for "haben", because it doesn't make much sense to "be had", although in English this can be used to explain that someone was tricked.
The verb "haben" is used most often with a direct object to show ownership. For that reason, I am going to do all of these examples using words for animals that some people can have as pets. I will even throw in a few that can't really be pets, but I like the name of them.
