In Spanish (Spain), 'tiene' and 'tienes' are both forms of the verb 'tener', which means 'to have'. However, they differ in their conjugation and usage.
'Tiene' is the third person singular form of 'tener', which means 'he/she/it has'. It is used when referring to someone or something in the third person singular. For example:
- Mi hermana tiene un perro. (My sister has a dog.)
- El coche tiene un problema en el motor. (The car has a problem with the engine.)
'Tienes' is the second person singular form of 'tener', which means 'you have'. It is used when addressing someone directly in the second person singular. For example:
- ¿Tienes hambre? (Are you hungry?)
- Tú tienes la llave de la casa. (You have the key to the house.)
In summary, 'tiene' is used for third person singular subjects, while 'tienes' is used for second person singular subjects.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Spanish (Spain) Near fluent
Tiene is 3rd person singular (él/ella tiene= he/she has) and tienes is 2nd person singular (tu tienes=you have) . Both of them are present simple. :)
