Keywords

Tener - Spanish verb 'to have, having'
Singular verb forms - verb forms for ‘I’, ‘you’ and ‘she, he, it’
Common misconception
To say 'I have', 'you have', 'she, he, it has' you need the words for 'I', 'you' and 'she, he, it'.
The verbs 'tengo', 'tienes' and 'tiene' mean 'I have', 'you have' and 'she, he, it has'. You do not need to use separate pronouns 'I', 'you', 'she, he, it'.
Teacher tip
Pupils will benefit from brief, but frequent revisiting of the Spanish alphabet. One way to do this is to reprieve the song. Playing a previously learnt song at the beginning of the lesson is a great way to help pupils settle quickly and tune in to the sounds of the new language.
