10.36 Notes on the forms 'have had' and 'had had'
1 These forms are, of course, quite regular: / have had my lunch and
/ had had my lunch work in the same way as / have eaten my lunch
and / had eaten my lunch.
Here are a few more examples of have as a full verb in the present perfect and past perfect: Have you ever had lunch at Maxim's? That boy looks as if he's never had a haircut I had never had a ride on an elephant before I went to India.
2 In general, the negative forms / haven't had, I hadn't had, etc. are
more common than I've not had and I'd not had.
3 The following forms should not be confused:
He's ill (= He is ill.) and He's had lunch (= He has had lunch.)
He'd had lunch (= He had had lunch.) and
; He said he'd have lunch now (= he would have lunch now)
10.37 Common 'have' + noun combinations
Have combines with a great many nouns. In this respect, it is similar to other phrases with such verbs as give (e.g. in give a thought) and take (in e.g. take an exam). For verb phrases of this kind and for examples with have [> App 42]:

10.38 'Have' + noun in place of other verbs
