Notes: Idiomatic Expressions Using "Tener" IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS WITH "TENER" An idiom is an expression that cannot be immediately understood by analyzing its literal meaning. A few examples of idioms in English are: to be “on the go” to “play the field” to “jump the gun” Spanish also has many idiomatic expressions. Although their literal translations sound odd to English speakers, they sound perfectly natural to native speakers. Here is one example: Idiom: Hace mucho frío Literally: It makes much cold True Meaning: It is very cold There are many idiomatic expressions that use the verb tener. This one expresses age: Idiom: tener _____ años Literally: to have _____ years True Meaning: to be _____ years old Many other expressions using tener express physical sensations: tener frío to be cold tener calor to be hot tener hambre to be hungry tener sed to be thirsty There are also many idiomatic expressions with tener that express sensations more psychological in nature: tener prisa to be in a hurry |

Indirect Object Pronouns
An indirect object is the person or thing for whom an action is being or has been performed, usually indicated in English by the words “to” or “for.”
For instance, take a look at the following sentence:
Jenny is writing a letter to her father.
The subject in this sentence is “Jenny,” and the verb is “is writing.” The direct object is “letter.” The indirect object—the person or thing for whom the action is being performed—is “father.”
You could also say the sentence in the following way:
Jenny is writing a letter to him.
Him refers to Jenny’s father. In this sentence, the indirect object noun has been replaced by a pronoun.
You can do the same thing in Spanish, if you know the indirect object pronouns.
Unlike in English, the indirect object pronouns go directly before the verb. If the sentence is negative (has a “no” in it), the indirect object pronoun still goes directly before the verb (see example 2).
Por ejemplo:
2. No voy a pedir a Pedro y Ernesto un favor.
- I’m not going to ask Peter and Ernest for a favour.
No les voy a pedir un favor.
- I’m not going to ask them for a favour.
3. Lupe está hablando con nosotros
- Lupe is talking with us.
Lupe nos está hablando.
- Lupe is talking with us.
