I have heard 持つ (motsu) isn't actually used very much so could you please tell me some different ways of saying 'to have' and how they would be used in different contexts? Thanks.
Well, which English 'have' do you mean? Have a party? Have to work? Have a dog? All are different in Japanese, as they are in English, they cover different aspects than ownership.
If you want to say 'I have a pen,' ペンを待っている,' is fine.
