Hello g-ssan,
'have' can be used to speak about possession, but I wouldn't say it's a possession verb because it also has other meanings and uses (e.g. 'I have finished my homework' or 'I had a shower') that do not indicate possession.
All verbs have an imperative form. The imperative form has the same form as the base form or bare infinitive form. So the imperative form of 'take' is 'take', for 'go' it's 'go' and for 'do' it's 'do'. Just as for 'write' it's 'write', etc.

Hello,
I would like to ask the following
When we want to know if someone has finished his breakfast /meal (the question is made by a waitress)
Which one is correct
1.Have you finished your breakfast /meal?
Or
2.Are you finished your meal?
What is the meaning of Are you finished? Is it polite?
Thank you in advance
The first one is correct (with 'have'). The second version is not grammatical.
You can say 'Are you finished?' (without an object after it) and it can be polite if it is said in an appropriate tone. However, it could be ambiguous as it could refer to other things than a meal. 'Have you finished your meal?' is the best option, I think.
Thank you

The correct form is 'help me to move' or 'help me move'.
Have you tried scrolling to the bottom of the screen to make a new comment? That's where I see the space to write one.
