13 εἶδον
εἶδον (Hom.+) used as the 2 aor. of ὁράω; mixed forms fr. 1 and 2 aor. somet. occur, and freq. as vv.ll. (B-D-F §81, 3; W-S. §13, 13; Rob. 337–39): εἶδα Rv 17:3 v.l.; εἴδαμεν Mk 2:12 v.l.; Ac 4:20, εἴδατε as v.l. Lk 7:22 and J 6:26, εἶδαν Mt 13:17; Mk 6:33 v.l.; Lk 10:24 al.; Ac 9:35. In gener., wherever εἶδον is read, the mixed form is found as v.l. Numerous mss. have both this and the phonetic spelling (B-D-F §23) ἴδον Rv 4:1; 6:1ff; ἴδες 1:19; ἴδεν Lk 5:2; Rv 1:2; ἴδομεν Lk 5:26; ἴδατε 7:22; ἴδετε Phil 1:30 (all as v.l.); subj. ἴδω; opt. ἴδοιμι; impv. ἴδε (Moeris p. 193 ἰδέ ἀττικῶς• ἴδε ἑλληνικῶς.

The ptc. with and without acc. freq. serves to continue a narrative Mt 2:10; 5:1; 8:34; Mk 5:22; 9:20; Lk 2:48 al.

Tener tiene dos traducciones básicas: to have o to have got. Esta segunda se usa casi únicamente para expresar posesión y solo en el presente: Tengo un coche nuevo. I have got a new car.
La primera se usa en sentido más general: Va a tener un problema. He's going to have a problem. Recuerda que la forma interrogativa de I have got es have I got?, mientras que la forma interrogativa de I have es do I have?
Cuando tener significa sentir, se traduce por el verbo to be: Tengo hambre. I am hungry.
