¿Podría por favor ofrecer una explicación?
Si bien comprendo mucho español, preferiría que un hablante de español nativo me explicara (en ingles, por favor) el uso de tener con un participio pasado en la siguiente oracion:
"La marcha culminaría con una dramática reaparición de Castro, quien tenía preparado un discurso para la ocasión."
I've checked the RAE and many other resources, but I did not find a satisfactory answer to my questions. Why does the writer use "tenía" instead of "había"? Does the second part of the sentence mean that Castro himself had prepared the speech, or that he had asked someone else to prepare the speech? I would like to be able to use the tener + past participle construction, but I am not confident in how to do so.
Thank you for your help.

Is anyone else getting this message on the new version of italki?
"OOOPS! It looks like there's a problem on our end. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Do you know what italki is doing about this issue? I have seen it repeatedly when I do a search for a language partner. Thanks.
