"have you got this right now" is an example. I suggested think of this when using have, it will help you know if "have" should be used or not.
"when you want to use this word" was my explanation for the above. I guess that didn't make sense haha
Think of "are" as a statement to confirm or deny. "are you okay?" is trying to confirm whether okay is true or not for the person.
Okay in the above was the subject, "are you used" has no subject and "used" is past tense.
Are you using the pencil? ("are" questions are always in the present tense)
Did you use it? ("it" is the subject being talked about and "did" can be used for past tense.
Did is also a confirming/ denying question.
Did you talk about me to Sharon? Answer is yes or no with details.
Hope that makes sense now 😊

Did = past tense
Have = present tense
Are = present tense
Are questions is a close ended question where the answer can only be yes or no and they can expand on that. Are and used are two different tenses and should not be used in a sentence together.
Have and did is also close ended questions. Open ended start with: why, how, what. Answers are very broad and descriptive. For example, how has life in Japan been? (all past tense)
Have question (think of hold) 'have you got this right now? ' is when you want to use this word.
Did is past tense, so you are asking about what has happened before you have asked the question. They will then use that information to answer.
Hope that helps!

I have four questions. Sorry there are so many.
What does "have you got this right now?" mean? Where did you get that quote from?
And "when you want to use this word." which "this word" are you referring to?
Is it correct that the sentence "Are you used" is never used?
And which is the most natural way to say it?
