Answer 2

Infinitive Form: Tener ("to have")

Present Indicative Form:

• 1st person: Yo tengo... = I have...
• 2nd person: Tú (informal) tienes... = You have
• 3rd person: Él/Ella/Usted (formal) tiene... = He has... or She has... or You have...

Answer 3

Tiene means he, she, or formal you (Usted) has or have something. So when you want to say, "She has annoying sisters", you would say "Ella tiene hermanas molestas." You can also use "tiene" for age like the example Kenwilliams gave.
