If someone doesn't have a pen, and you respond, wouldn´t one say "here is a pen?" I don't understand why "tiene" is used as the verb in this instance. Unless, it is literally translated "Here you have a pen." I'm using Rosetta Stone to learn Spanish. thank you! Deb

Yes, you're right, the appropriate response to a request for a pen would be "Aquí tiene(s)." It's literally translated to "Here you have it."

Aqui + tener means that you are offering something. Aqui tiene su cafe

I didn't know you would say "aquí tiene".
Kind of like "Here you go."
Thanks for the question, I learned something.
