Note: In Spanish we describe some mental and physical states with tener and others with estar. The rule is that when we are going to express a mental or physical state with tener we have to use:
tener + noun ; and when we are going to describe a mental or physical state with estar we have to use: estar + adjective. The above are the most commonly used, so if you remember those you'll be fine.
