Georgina, "Alguien te tiene que dar tú primera oportunidad" (somebody has to give you your first chance. "te tiene que dar" is the same than "tiene que darte", we normally use the first one, te is acting like a reflexive pronoun.. a reflexive pronoun is used when the action influence in somebody, in this case. "to you": me Tengo que cuidar ... I have to take care (of myself) te tengo que comprar.... I have to buy (to yourself).. for help you: when you have a pronoun as an direct object, and you have the structure: tener que + verbo + (pronombre).. it's better to say: pronombre + tener que + verbo. tengo que cuidarme - me tengo que cuidar tiene que darte - te tiene que dar. tu primera oportunidad. The correct writing is "tu". (your). your first chance (in this case tu is a possessive pronoun Espero que te haya servido chau

I think the sentece would be "Alguien te tiene que dar tu primera oportunidad". "tu" (your) and not "tú" (you).
