The "has" spanish word must be very hard, becuase no one has answered my question. - Shakeena372, Aug 8, 2010
Someone answered my question, Thanks so much. - Shakeena372, Aug 8, 2010
It isn't particularly difficult to answer lol just that there are so many threads to respond to and it takes a few minutes to write a good reponse - FELIZ77, Aug 8, 2010
Or seconds in Heidita's case or any of the fluent members lol - FELIZ77, Aug 8, 2010
Shakeena I don't think folks understood your question although they inadvertently answered it. The Spanish word -has- means have and is a form of haber not tener as you were previously advised. - df2346, Nov 22, 2013

Tiene = He /she has from the verb tener = to have
Tiene un coche
= She has a car
Tiene dos hijos y una hija
= She has two sons and one (a) daughter
3 Tiene que hacer las compras (Tener que = to have to )
= He has to do the shopping
4 Siempre tiene tanto deberes que hacer = She always has so much homework to do
It is also sometimes used in Spanish where a different verb would be used in English:
5 Tiene veinte cuatro años = She is twenty years old (literally has twenty years)

Has is a form of haber to have in the second person singular form not used like tener.
