One is:

I have:
You have:
He has:
She has:
We have:
They have:

Welcome to the forums!

There are many places you can go to see verb conjugation charts. Even Tomísimo has one. :) (Upper left-hand quadrant of screen - instead of 'Dictionary', select 'Conjugations' - type in the infinitive and press the 'search' icon)
As you can see, there are two 'to be' verbs - ser and estar.
I also gave you the infinitive for 'to have' - tener. This 'have' shouldn't be confused with the English helping verb 'have'. That's another verb (haber).

The subject pronouns that accompany English verbs are not always needed in Spanish. This is because the verb ending often conveys the person. Where this is true, I have embedded the subject pronoun in parentheses.

Only the present indicative tense was provided above. There are several other tenses to learn after you've mastered the present tense.

Welcome to the forums and may you learn much about languages.
English is my native language, I thought, until I took a trip to Great Britian.
You will have fun here.
