now you have three ways of saying that in Italian:
- "Io ho" (avere), the usual way and also an auxiliary
- "Io tengo" (tenere), it's not exactly the best way to say "I have", it's not Spanish!!!! You should only use this among friends, like when you say in English "gotcha", you can use it but better not in class!!!!
- "Io possiedo/posseggo" when you have something like material, e.g. "I have a house" --------> "possiedo/posseggo una casa"

It depends. Avere is the verb, but in English To Have can be used to mean a LOT of things. Be more specific:
I have seen?
I have a cold?
I have money?

"I have" in the most common meaning is in Italian "io ho".
