Solution

Answer

True.

In Spanish, the verb "tener" (to have) is indeed used in various expressions that correspond to the use of the verb "to be" in English. For example, in expressions related to age and certain states of being, Spanish speakers use "tener" instead.

For instance:

  • To express age: "Tengo 20 años" translates to "I am 20 years old."
  • To express conditions: "Tengo hambre" means "I am hungry."

This reflects a fundamental difference in how emotions, age, and conditions are expressed in Spanish compared to English. Thus, using "tener" in such contexts is common and correct in the Spanish language.
