Is it grammatically correct to say "er habe"? I'm reading a book in German and came across the following sentence: "Am nächsten Tag sagte Vater, es tue ihm Leid, dass er mich geschlagen habe, er habe das nicht gewollt." The word "habe" caught my attention, because I thought it should have been "hat". I don't remember ever seeing "er" and "habe" being listed together in any word conjugation list that I've studied, but I'm wondering if I'm wrong and maybe I missed something. So is it grammatically correct to say "er habe" or does the book have a typo? Does writing "habe" in that sentence give it a different meaning than if the word "hat" had been written instead?
