Lesson 1
Say What I Have
Spanish ↔ English
Possession uses a noun after the first-person form.
For this module, use the first-person form with an already-known noun to say what you have. Spanish can still omit an unnecessary subject pronoun when the speaker is clear.
New Spanish
Use it
tengo
orange = verb bodygreen = first-person ending
English:I have
Use this first-person form for possession or availability in this lesson. Spanish can naturally omit yo when the speaker is already clear.
Pronunciation:TEHN-goh
New Spanish
Use it
tengo+ noun
orange = verb bodygreen = first-person ending
English:I have + a thing / noun
Use only already learned nouns after tengo. This module does not open the other verb forms or later age/state expressions.
Pronunciation:TEHN-goh + noun
