note: have, as an auxiliary verb, is used with the past
participle to form preterit tenses; as, i have loved; i
shall have eaten. originally it was used only with the
participle of transitive verbs, and denoted the
possession of the object in the state indicated by the
participle; as, i have conquered him, i have or hold
him in a conquered state; but it has long since lost
this independent significance, and is used with the
participles both of transitive and intransitive verbs
as a device for expressing past time. had is used,
especially in poetry, for would have or should have.
