Key learning points
- Raise your voice at the end of a statement to ask a yes/no question with 'tener'. ‘¿Tienes …?’ is ‘Do you have?'.
- 'Qué' means 'what'; to ask ‘What do you have?’ use ‘¿Qué tienes?’.
- 'Unas' is 'some' for plural feminine nouns; 'unos' is ‘some’ for plural masculine nouns.
- Conversations involve careful listening and knowing vocabulary securely, especially key verbs 'estar', 'ser', 'tener'.
Keywords
Tener - to have, having
Qué - Spanish question word 'what'
Unas - 'some' for plural feminine nouns
Unos - 'some' for plural masculine nouns
Common misconception
Spanish needs a word for 'do' in questions, e.g. 'Do you have?' and 'What do you have?'.
Spanish questions are easy to form. Yes/no questions have the same words as statements; to make a question you raise the pitch of your voice. Information questions just add a question word, e.g. 'Qué ... ?' in front of the verb.
