Torrisholme Tapas

Yesterday we had a Spanish tapas bar in the hall. Everyone had a chance to be a customer

¡Qué aproveche! Enjoy your meal!

Saying how we feel

In Year 6 we have been learning some new phrases to say how we feel.

All the phrases use the verb tener- to have.

However, in these phrases tengo means I am in English. 

Tengo hambre- I am hungry

Tengo sed- I am thirsty

Tengo calor- I am hot

Tengo frío – I am cold

Tengo sueño_ I am tired

Tengo suerte- I am lucky

We have conjugated the verb tener, so now we can say that we are all hungry! Tenemos hambre….

Tener- To have

Yo                                   Tengo                    I have
Tú                                   Tienes                   You have
Él/ella /Usted                   Tiene                   He/she has /You(VIP)have
