     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.
