The Verb Tener.

Question

I Wanted to know when you use the verb tener do you drop the ar at the end of the verb?

you mean "er" - kittybrougham, Oct 12, 2009

Answer 1

Not really because there isn't one, hehe. You might want to drop the "er". Look at our conjugator and type in the verb tener. See what you get.

Answer 2

Generally, will all verbs you will drop the er, ir or ar ending and add the appropriate ending depending on which person you are addressing (1st, 2nd or 3rd person). However, there are times when you use the verb in its infinitive form.

por ejemplo:

tengo un carro (primera persona)

tienes un carro (segunda persona)

me gustaría tener un nuevo carro (infinitivo)

Answer 3

this is too big of a question! In regular conjugation, yes you drop the last two letter and then add ending depending on the subject and the tense. But tener is an irregular verb so it's forms do not conform to the rules of conjugation. (I have=tango, you have=tienes) Do the Spanish 1 lessons and you will get to this, or check the reference library and read about verbs to get you started.
