*Deber is not a synonym of tener que, which indicates strong obligation or necessity. Although they are at times quite close in meaning, deber tends to be “softer,” indicating what one should or ought to do.
**Mantener has all of the irregularities of tener, in the present tense, as well as others to be studied later.
