Obligations – Tener queSimilar to English, you can use “to have” to express what

you have to do. Conjugate tener accordingly to who has to do something:

Tengo que estudiar. (yo)

Tenemos que hablar. (nosotros; tú y yo)

Adriana tiene que comprar comida. (ella)

¿Tienes que estudiar? (tú)

Mis hermanos tienen que mirar la tele. (ellos)

You can figure out the rest. (If you have trouble, ask me.)

Tener ganas de The other use of “tener” in an expression is for

expressing what you feel or don’t feel like doing. Add “ganas de”.

Tengo ganas de celebrar. (yo)

No tenemos ganas de estudiar. (nosotros)

Lalo siempre tiene ganas de hablar por teléfono.

Also notice here how the conjugation of tener changes depending on who feels or doesn’t feel like doing something.

Práctica Go to page 153 of your textbook and do activities G and H

and e-mail them to me. G: For each number, you will write an exchange between two

people. The first speaker invites the other person to go somewhere (IR = to go). The second speaker says sorry, I can’t and what he/she has to do instead.

H: Answer the four questions about what you feel like doing and your plans.

For further practice of “tener que” and “tener ganas de”, go to pages 168-169 of your “Cuaderno de tareas” and complete eactivities G, H, I and J. The answers are on Blackboard > Course Documents.
