Haber is an auxiliary (helper) verb. Almost the only time you use it is with another verb in the participio (sorry, can't remember the english word! participle?) , such as "I have seen" (He visto), "He had written" (HabÃa escrito), etc. (The other time you would use it is in the impersonal "hay", which means "there is" or "there are".) Tener means "to have" in the sense of to possess something, to have to do something, and also has many idiomatic uses (see some here: http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=tener) and here: http://www.drlemon.net/Grammar/Tener.html) |

If you can replace a form of "to have" by the corresponding form of "to own" or "to possess" then you should use "tener" in Spanish.
If you see that the form of "to have" is followed by a past participle (an -ed form of a regular verb, or a 3rd. column form of an irregular verb, such as "eaten", "driven", "been", "sung", etc.) then you should translate "to have" by "haber". |

ooops! hard one to explain... Depends on the context: 'tener' is possesive:
I have a rock in my hand => 'tengo una piedra en la mano'.
'haber' it's about location:
there is a rock in my hand => 'hay una piedra en mi mano'.
'Haber' can be used as an auxiliary verb:
I have done something bad => 'HE hecho algo malo'.
You have done something good => 'tu HAS hecho algo bueno'.
'tener' also indicates when you MUST or MUST NOT do something:
I have to go right now! => '¡TENGO que irme en este momento!"
You should not help with the dishes => 'no TIENES que ayudar con los platos'.
Hope this helps... |

Tener you use for like "I have a rock in my hand." Haber you would use for "There is a rock in my hand." |

haber is "to catch", tener is "to have" |

Tener comes from the verb to have
for example: "Juan tiene algo"
Haber is having done something
for example: "Juan hizo algo" |
