Tener
 Let’s look at the
verb tener (“to
have”). It features
two verb changes
that we will see very
soon.
Las formas de TENER
 yo tengo
 tú tienes
 él,ella Ud. tiene
 nosotros tenemos
 ellos, ellas, Uds. tienen
yo tengo
 The “yo” form is
irregular because it
adds a –g- before
the final –o.
 There is a small
group of verbs that
act in the same way.
We will call them the
“go” verbs.
tú tienes, él tiene, ellos tienen
 These three verb forms change
in the middle, too. The stem
“ten-” becomes “tien-.” The
endings are the usual for –er
verbs: -es, -e, -en.
 This is an example of one kind
of stem-changing verb. We
will see three different kinds of
stem-changing verbs.
Nosotros tenemos
 This form is regular.
 This is another
feature of stemchanging verbs:
there is no change
in the stem in the
nosotros form.
Arrrggghhh!

remember, but for
right now just learn

verb.
