What does 'tener' mean in English?

  1. to have

  2. to bring

  3. to do

  4. to leave

The correct answer is: to have

"Tener" is a Spanish verb that means "to have". In this context, having something refers to possession or ownership. While options B, C, and D may also be verbs in the English language, they do not match the definition of "tener" and are therefore incorrect answers. "To bring" (B) means to carry or transport something to another location, "to do" (C) means to perform an action or task, and "to leave" (D) means to go away or depart from a place. These meanings do not align with the definition of "tener".
