To sign 'has' (which is the same as 'have'), form both hands into a bent shape by keeping your fingers together and bending them at the knuckles. Hold your hands slightly in front of your chest with your palms facing inward. Bring both hands toward you so that your fingertips gently tap against your upper chest.
Point to the person you are talking about, then use the sign for 'has' by bringing your bent fingertips to your chest, followed by the signs for 'new' and 'car'.
Indicate the person, sign 'has' by touching your chest with both bent hands, and then sign 'two' and 'dog'.
Sign 'house', then use the 'has' sign to show possession, followed by 'big' and 'yard'.

Yes! In ASL, verbs are not conjugated based on the subject like they are in English. You will use this exact same sign for 'has', 'have', and 'had'.
No, this sign is strictly used for possession or ownership. If you mean 'have to' in the sense of an obligation or requirement, you should use the ASL sign for 'must'.
A single, deliberate touch to the chest is perfectly clear and correct. In casual, fast-paced signing, you might see people tap twice, but one solid motion is the standard way to sign it.
