**Tips to remember the word “tienen”:**
– Associate “tienen” with “they have” by noticing the “ten-” in “tienen” and “they.”
– Remember the “en” ending is often used in Spanish for “they” (ellos/ellas) in the present indicative.

**Explanations:**
– “Tienen” is the third-person plural present indicative form of “tener” which means “to have.”
– In Spanish, verb endings change to indicate who is performing the action and when it is performed.

**Other words that mean the same thing:**
– “Poseen” from the verb “poseer” can be similar in meaning to “tienen,” although it’s less commonly used and somewhat more formal.

**Different conjugations of “tener”:**
– Infinitive: tener (to have)
