Conceito novo
Tener: to have
Tener means to have. Like ser and estar, it's irregular:
| Pronoun | Tener | English |
|---|---|---|
| yo | tengo | I have |
| tú | tienes | you have |
| él / ella / usted | tiene | he, she has / you (formal) have |
| nosotros / nosotras | tenemos | we have |
| vosotros / vosotras | tenéis | you (a group) have |
| ellos / ellas / ustedes | tienen | they have / you (formal, a group) have |
Two patterns help: yo gets a g — tengo — and the stem changes to tien- in tienes, tiene, tienen. Nosotros and vosotros keep the plain ten-.
