HAD means something that you have already done, something that you did yesterday or the day after or in the past HAD also means something that you had but then somehow you lost it
HAVE means something that you have to do today, right now or in the future also means something that you have got right now.
HAD is the past tense of HAVE
HAVE is the present tense of HAD
(Here is a good example)

And i hope that this answered your question because there isnt a wrong answer above all of them are correct…
Have = Present Tense/Future
Example:
I had to get my sister yesterday.
I have to get my sister today/right now.
i HAD a dog. the dog died.
have = present tense.
i HAVE a dog. the dog is still around.
another way you can use them is:
HAVE you given him the book? as in, did you give him the book YET?
HAD you given him the book? as in, did you give him the book some time in the past?
have is the present
I have a life.
