lunes, el siete de enero

Spanish I:

• Students received their quizzes.
• We finished going over the chapter 2.1, learning how to use "hay que" and "tener in a sentence to indicate the obligation to something. Students were assigned exercise #15 on pg 113. This is due tomorrow.
• Students did a listening comprehension exercise, to practice for the unit test on Monday.

Grammar lesson:

1) Using "hay que":

Hay que = One has to, one must. It is a way to talk about having to do something, but it is a general statement, without naming anyone specifically.

 You use hay + que + an infinitive verb (not conjugated).
    Example:
     
    Hay que estudiar. = One has to study.

2) using "tener que"

Tener que = to have to. You use to talk about something that must be done. Here it is not a general statement, Instead it specifically mentions who needs to do something. You need to conjugate "tener' to agree with the subject of the sentence. You do not conjugate the second verb.

You use tener + que + an infinitive verb (not conjugated)
   Example:

   Tengo que estudiar. = I have to study.
   Tenemos que estudiar. = We have to study.

Test:

• The test on 2.1 is on Monday, January 14th.
