Let's just use the example, "I have a red car" When I use HAVE it the sentence that mean I have it right now in present time. If I was to say, "I had a red car" that means I used to have it in the past.

The difference between have and had is easy to see if you simply dig deep enough into the inner meanings. Have is present tense as in you have something. Had is in past tense as in you had something but than ever so suddenly you let it quickly slip away.

The difference between have and had is what follows.....
Have- Have means the present tense. I have some new gym shoes.
Had- Had means in the past tense. I had some new gym shoes.
The differnce is now and then, have is what you have now, and had is what you used to have.....

have is present tense, as in, you currently HAVE something. Had is past tense, as in, you used to HAVE something.
EXAMPLE. I HAVE a new dog that i got today after the dog I HAD got hit by a car yesterday.

If you have it, it's with you now (like a ring you're wearing)...or you own it (like the stereo in your bedroom right now)...or it's part of your life (like a pet).
If you HAD it, you owned it once (you sold the stereo a year ago), it was in your life once (your dog passed away when you were 10), or it was with you at some point (Iike saying "I HAD that ring in my hand a minute ago!")..and it no longer is.

you go to the supermarket and you get out of your car and say " I have a DVD player"
you return to your car after shopping and notice your passenger side window is broken and there is a hole where your DVD player used to be
then you say "I had a DVD player"

Have is present tense and had is past tense.
"I have a lot of work today."
"I had lots of work yesterday."
