In the article on masculine gender the example given is "Tiene dos hijos, Laura y Antonio." The translation is They have two children... " I thought it the verb should be "Tienen" since there are two people being referred to. Is the example correct and, if so, can you provide an explanation?

Question about the sentence "Tiene dos hijos, Laura y Antonio."

Hola Vince
I can't see in which lesson or exercise you saw this sentence but the translation for:
Tiene dos hijos, Laura y Antonio.
should be "He/she has two children, Laura and Antonio.", not "They have..."
If you can tell me where you saw that sentence I could check and correct if necessary.
Gracias y saludos
Inma
