Tener tiene dos traducciones básicas: to have o to have got. Esta segunda se usa casi únicamente para expresar posesión y solo en el presente: Tengo un coche nuevo. I have got a new car.

La primera se usa en sentido más general: Va a tener un problema. He’s going to have a problem. Recuerda que la forma interrogativa de I have got es have I got?, mientras que la forma interrogativa de I have es do I have?

Cuando tener significa sentir, se traduce por el verbo to be: Tengo hambre. I am hungry.
