Lesson 1
You have: tiene
Use tiene to say what another person has and to ask polite questions about possession or obligation.
One new building block
tiene
you have when speaking politely to one person
no tiene
you do not have
¿Tiene...?
Do you have...?
Spanish often leaves out usted. Here, tiene by itself can mean you have.
Build the meaning step by step
Tiene información. = You have information.
No tiene tiempo. = You do not have time.
¿Tiene el documento? = Do you have the document?
Compare tengo and tiene
Tengo means I have. Tiene means polite you have.
Tengo el documento. = I have the document. Tiene la reservación. = You have the reservation.
Tiene que + basic verb means “you have to…”: tiene que ir, tiene que venir, tiene que verlo.

You do / you make: hace
Use hace for what another person does or makes, and use hacerlo for “to do it.”
One more building block

¿Qué hace?
What do you do? / What are you doing?
Build useful combinations
Lo hace ahora. = You do it now.
Puede hacerlo. = You can do it.
Sabe cómo hacerlo. = You know how to do it.
Compare hago and hace
Hago means I do / I make. Hace means polite you do / you make.
Hago la reservación. = I make the reservation. Hace el documento. = You make the document.
