<note>&hand; <i>Have</i>, as an auxiliary verb, is used with the past participle to form preterit tenses; as, I <i>have</i> loved; I shall <i>have</i> 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>I have conquered him</i>, 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. <i>Had</i> is used, especially in poetry, for <i>would have</i> or <i>should have</i>.</note>
