Spanish 7:

• went over how to tell time.
• Classwork/homework: Draw 20 digital clocks, and write the time in Spanish.

• The verb "estar" = to be

Yo estoy                    Nosotros estamos
Tú estás                     Vosotros estáis
Él/ella/usted está         Ellos/ellas/ustedes están

Use the verb "estar" to describer emotions (how you are feeling) and your location (whwere you are)

Yo esoy en la clase. = I am in the class.

• The verb "ir" = to go:

Yo voy                       Nosotros vamos
Tú vas                        Vosotros vais
Él/ella/usted va           Ellos/ellas/ustedes van

¿Adónde vas? = (to) where are you going?
Voy a la clase. = I am going to the class.
Voy al gimnasio. = I am going to the gymnasium.

IMPORTANT:  'a '+ 'él' changes into "al", a + la stays the same:
a la clase
al gimnasio
