I have two cars -in this context, "have" is a verb which means to be in possession of .
I have known John for 10 years. -"have" is a a modal word which helped the verb "known" to form present perfect tense.

Look up pronouns, they can be very complecated and there is a lot of rules, but it is what you are dealing with.

Hi,

Could I ask for your help in this example

 The company has/have to record and report back on all transactions.

 In this example is the company a singular or plural?

 Thanks!

Hi,

If you are thinking of the company as an organization, say 'has'. if you are thinking of it as a group of people, say 'have'.

Best wishes, Clive
