1
Tener with characteristics

2
Tener=To have
Tengo-I have
Tienes-You have
TIene-He has/She has/It has AND (formal) You have
Tenemos-We have
Tienen- They have AND you all have
3
Describing someone
To say he or she has a certain characteristic, we use "tiene"
4
Examples:
He has freckles=
Él tiene las pecas.
OR
Tiene las pecas.
5
Examples
She has brown eyes:
Ella tiene los ojos marrones.
OR
Tiene los ojos marrones.
6
Describing others
"Tiene" on its on implies "He has" or "She has" so it can be used with or without the Spanish words for he (él) or she (ella).
7
Multiple Choice
Which description would be true for Oscar?
Tiene el pelo largo
Tiene la barba
Tiene las gafas
Tiene el pelo rojo
8
Oscar tiene las gafas.
"Oscar tiene las gafas" simply says "Oscar has glasses.
Even though "tiene" is understood to say "he has" on its own, when used with a person's name, you omit the "he" or "she" automatically.
9
Multiple Choice
How would we describe Lenora?
Tiene los frenillos
Tiene los ojos verdes
Tiene el pelo rubio
Tiene el pelo corto
10
Lenora tiene los ojos verdes.
Just like before, saying "Lenora tiene los ojos verdes" is just saying "Lenora has green eyes".
