La hija tiene siete años
tiene is the conjugation of the verb tener for the third person singular in the simple present. We use this tense to talk about habitual actions or routines. This tense is also used to describe things that happen now or in the near future. Also, la hija can be replaced by the subject pronoun for the third person singular (feminine form), which is ella. In English:
The daughter is seven years old
Nosotros tenemos una familia pequeña.
tenemos is the conjugation of the verb tener for the first person plural in the simple present. This person matches the subject pronoun nosotros, whose translation is we. So, our family is large. We can translate this sentence in English as the following statement:
We have a large family
Tú tienes una familia grande.
tienes is the conjugation of the verb tener for the second person singular in the simple present. This person matches the subject pronoun tú, whose translation is you. So, your family is large. We can translate this sentence in English as the following statement:
You have a large family

Explanation:
The Simple Preterite indicates an enunciated action that is considered finished. It applies to actions completed in the past that are not necessarily related to the factual status of the present situation.
It is used in Spanish to express: actions that take place at a certain moment in the past in a timely manner or a new action that occurs in the past and that interrupts a course of action that was already in progress and that is expressed in the past tense.
On the other hand, the imperfect past tense of the indicative describes an action or state in the past whose time limits are not relevant, that is, a grammatical time of the past with a grammatical aspect. It is used in Spanish to express courses of past actions whose beginning and end are not specified
