Use "has" with third-person singular subjects (he, she, it).
Use "have" with all other subjects (I, you, we, they).
The past participle form of the verb typically ends in -ed for regular verbs (e.g., "played", "worked"), but irregular verbs have unique past participle forms (e.g., "done", "seen", "gone").
