“El verbo Tener” (the verb “To have” in Spanish – I have, you have, he/she/it has, we have, you have, they have.) We have already learned our first Spanish verb: “El verbo Ser” and now we will learn another extremely useful Spanish verb: “El verbo Tener”. We will learn how to conjugate this verb for all the persons (I, you, he, she, etc) in a similar way that we conjugated “El verbo Ser”. We will also look at how to make negative Spanish sentences using “El verbo Tener”: “I haven’t got…” As always, I recommend that you get right on and practice this Spanish lesson as soon as you fully understand it and have watched the video a few times. Think about things that you “have” and “haven’t” got and make a list in Spanish. Then write a similar list for things other people you know “have” and “haven’t” got.
