Answer 1

The whole teines confuses me... Hi and welcome! Sorry but what do you mean?

Answer 2

I believe I see what she means. (since the subject line has ¨Have to¨ in it)

In English, when we must, or are obligated to do something, we often use the, frankly strange, little construct of ¨I have to...¨

The Spanish speakers have an equivalent, and it is Tener (conjugated) + que + infinitive.

Note, it will always be a conjugated form of Tener + que + infinitive. A few examples below.

I have to run. Tengo que correr.

You have to walk. Tienes que caminar.

She has to talk. Tiene que hablar.

We have to go. Tenemos que ir.

They have to sing. Tienen que cantar.

Is that what you were looking for.
