I've never ever used the word "he" or "tenido" in my 6 months of learning Spanish because I'm not that advanced yet. I'm currently enrolled in Spanish with Paul and just got to level 4 of the 9 levels in the course, so still have a long way to go. Of course i just recently enrolled in his course about not even a month ago, after taking his 10 free mini courses here on youtube, which enabled me to start speaking to my new 81 year old neighbor who speaks only Spanish, and no english at all....... that was my main motivation for learning this language. I've taken her to the store for food, she comes over and chats with me, my wife and my god-daughter (who speaks more Spanish than i, but I'm closing in)...... Your fiance' better take you on a nice long vacation!

You will get there. It's a pain to grasp, but once you get it, you get it. There are so much more to learn with haber...You got this.

I love your motivation for learning Spanish. It's so noble. Don't worry, you'll get there. Haber is an important verb, so I'm sure Paul is going to include it in his course. If you need help, I have articles about this verb on the website, and you know you can reach out to me with your questions😉PS...still waiting for the nice long vacation 🥲

#1 Yo TENGO dos gatos
#2 Ella TIENE QUE entregar el proyecto
#3 HAY tres personas en el restaurante
#4 Todavia no TENGO QUE hecho la tarea
#5 Saúl TIENE un coche azul. Yo nunca HE tenido uno
Plz correct my mistakes if I happened to make one.

[@TellMeInSpanishEng]

Hay un pequeño error en #4 🤓: Past participles like "hecho" don't work with 'tener que + infinitive'. So, the sentence should be "todavía no HE hecho la tarea".

I was told tienes uno novio, is that incorrect? I have asked spanish speakers tienes uno novio.

[@taemvu.4807]

¿Tienes un novio? Is the correct way 😊

[@LadyEclipse1]

@@taemvu.4807 ah muchas gracias!

[@TellMeInSpanishEng]

"‘¿Tienes novio?’ is the correct (and more natural) way to say it 😊. The word 'uno' always becomes 'un' in front of a masculine noun, like 'un perro', 'un gato'. In this case, we don't add it because of the nature of the question. Adding 'uno' could imply that you are asking about the number of boyfriends the person has, which is not the usual intent of the question.
