The verb 'haben' means 'to have/having'. 'Ich habe' means 'I have', 'du hast' - 'you have', er/sie hat' - 'he/she has.'
The masculine indefinite article 'ein' changes to 'einen' after 'haben' and most verbs, but not after 'sein'.
The masculine definite article 'der' changes to 'den' after 'haben' and most verbs, but not after 'sein'.
