Here's another one:   Tengo razón.   Literally:   I have reason.  Meaning:  I am right/correct.

I have given examples in the first person singular, present tense: e.g., (yo) tengo.  However, you may use these expressions for any person, and in any tense:  Tú tienes miedo.   Ellos tenían sed.   Ella va a tener 15 años.
