Welcome to the forum!
"tener" is the infinitive form of the verb "to have".
"tengo" is the first person present tense indicative form of the verb "tener".
Here is a link to the page showing the conjugated forms of the verb "tener".
In English,
I have you have he, she it has
In Spanish
yo tengo - I have tú tienes - you have el, ella, (third person or you formal) tiene
Some of the videos on this site will explain verb conjugation much better.
