Should this sentence contain has or have?

 

God and life have shown me when it is right, you can stop looking and start dancing.

'God and life' makes a plural subject so we use have.

There are two ways this is used:

 

1.) First is plural/singular.

 

Has is used with a singular noun. "The dog has the ball"

 

Have is used with a plural noun. "The dogs have the ball"

 

 

2.) Second is used with a particular pronoun.

 

 

Present tense

 

I have

you (singular) have

he/she/it has

 

we have

you (plural) have

they have

 

had is used for all pronoun when in the past tense

 

 

 

 

//: "has" and "have" are called present participle, which means it happened at an unspecified time before now.

Two sentences cannot be separated by a comma.
