Answer 1

I had seen your earlier answer and tried posting my answer but the post was closed. I had asked you to add your level of Spanish and English to your profile - I assumed advanced or fluent English and beginner or intermediate Spanish. It helps anyone answering or assessing an answer. For example someone learning English asking a question on usage can check my profile and see I am fluent on English and be happy with my answer. There are times when I am very pleased that I have an answer from someone fluent in Spanish. If you can add the country where you are located that is helpful too. Anything else is up to you and you can add or remove items from your profile

I remember many years ago doing an exercise in class where there were 23 answers to tener phrases ( many were colloquial)

I see you have worked out the answers using the clues. You haven't added the correct conjugation of tener but I assume you know that 'yo' for the speaker, tu when talking to their friend.

They all look correct to me save you haven't put the tilde on sueño nor the accent on razón. At the bottom of the answer box there are Spanish punctuation you can click on.

Buena suerte

I will add to my profile but you are correct! I am a beginner in spanish and i don't know the conjugation of tener for these words. - hdukeclaire, Aug 3, 2016

Like I told you before, Use the conjugation tool. It's in the menu bar, top right of your screen on the main Q&A page. - rac1, Aug 3, 2016

Sorry, top left. - rac1, Aug 3, 2016

I suggested on another post she put the verb in the translation tool read about it and scroll to the bottom for conjugations - Mardle, Aug 3, 2016
