Today we discussed the verb Tener (How to conjugate it and when to use it)

The verb Tener is used to show Relationship = Yo tengo 2 hermanas

and

Possesion = Yo tengo un carro azul.

 

You also use tener to talk about age = Yo tengo 14 años.

When you’re hungry/thirsty = Tengo hambre / sed.

or

If you’re cold/hot. Tengo frio / calor.

This is how you conjugate it in the present tense:

HOMEWORK#1 Family Tree

Pick a real famous family, a TV family or your own family.  You are going to create a basic family tree of this family.  It must have at least 7 members.  Once you have chosen your family and designed your tree you have to pick one of the members and write everyone’s relationship to that person in Spanish. (Class example:  I chose Will Smith so Jada Smith said esposa under it since she is his wife) If you are doing your own family you are going to describe everyone’s relationship to YOU.  Once your tree is complete you are going to write everyone’s age using the verb tener or you could write 5 sentences about the family using the verb tener (Example: Will Smith tiene mucho dinero).  Pictures are optional.  Could be done on loose leaf paper.

EXAMPLE: Just make sure to add the names and the sentences with TENER!
