Q

When to use tener

A

Use tener for feelings that are nouns.
You might have noticed that tener is used for feelings like “thirsty” and “hungry.” This is because these feelings are considered nouns in Spanish, whereas they’re adjectives in English.

For feelings that are nouns, we use tener.

(I’m hungry because I should have eaten breakfast at 8, but now it’s 10.)
