What is the grammatical rule for using have and had simultaneously in a sentence?
I know instinctively how to use it. However, I often get confused, and when I do use it, I am never satisfied with it, and yet I want to use it. It sounds good. So, it would be very kind of those who helped me.

Hi Maria. We use the present perfect tense when we want to connect the present with the (recent) past in some way and this will appear as has had or have had in full forms or as 's had or 've had in contracted forms:
Have they had their breakfast yet? ~ They've had a glass of orange juice, but they haven't had anything to eat yet.
He was in a foul mood when he got back, but now that he's had a shower and a snooze, he's calmed down a bit.
Have you had a nice evening, Barbara? ~ I've had a rotten evening. I had an argument with Tom and I've had enough for one day.
Have you always had hay fever? ~ I've had it every summer since I was 13.
