lunes, el veinticinco de marzo

Spanish I:

  • I passed out the study guides for 2.3, and went over it with the class. The test will be on Friday, April 12th. We will finish the chapter tomorrow, and review for it the week of April 8th. 
  • Students needs to practice conjugating, ar, er, and ir verbs, as well as the new irregular verbs (hacer, conocer, and oír), the 5 questions they need to answer (on the study guide), and review the 2.3 vocabulary.
Grammar Notes:

  • Students learned how to use the verb ir (to go) to talk about where they are going. Today they learned how to use it to talk about things they are going to do (in the very near future).
With a noun:
Yo voy a la escuela. = I am going to school.
Yo voy al gimnasio. (a + el = al) = I am going to the gym.

With a verb
Yo voy a comer. = I am going to eat.  You conjugate the first verb "ir" but not the second verb "comer"
Tú vas a estudiar. = You are going to study.
Nosotros vamos a beber agua. = We are going to drink water.

Personal "a":

Personal “a”

Whenever a person is the object of a verb, the personal “a” must be used before the verb, except when using the verb “tener”

Yo conozco a María. = I know María.
Yo oigo a María. = I hear María
Yo cuido a María.= I take care of María.
Yo hablo a María. = I speak to María.

Homework/Test:
  • Study for the 2.3 test on April 12th.
3rd Grade Spanish:
  • Students continued working on their number book.
  • Those who finished began working on our next project: designing a city. Students will create a Spanish city, name it and everything in it.

Study Guide for 2.3

2.3 Study Guide

ü    ALL vocab is fair game!  Make sure that you know everything from past vocabulary tests. Be familiar with the vocabulary on page 167.
ü    Know:
1)      The verb “ir (conjugated) + a + infinitive verb (not conjugated)” = to be going to do something
2)      The verb “ir (conjugated) + a + the place”= to be going to a place
        Yo  voy a…                                   Nosotros vamos a…
       Tú vas a…                                     Vosotros vais a…
       Él/Ella/Usted va a…                     Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes van a…

      Ex.     Yo voy a estudiar. = I am going to study.
     Tú vas a la cafeteria. = You are going to the cafeteria.
    Nosotros vamos al gimnasio. = We are going to the gym. (Remember that “a + el” becomes “al”).
    IMPORTANT: Conjugate the first verb “ir”. Do NOT conjugate the second verb (what you    r   are actually going to be doing)

ü    Know your verb endings
-ar verb endings:            -er verb endings:         -ir verb endings:
-o     -amos                       -o          -emos               -o                  -imos
-as     -áis                          -es         -éis-                 -es                 -ís
-a     -an                           - e          -en-                   -e                  -en     

Make sure to look at the verb, and see if it is an ar, er, or ir verb, and use the appropriate endings. Look where the accents go for the vosotros form, and do not forget to add the accent.


    ü     Know the three new irregular verbs
Hacer = to do, to make
hago               hacemos
haces              hacéis
hace               hacen

Yo hago la tarea. = I do my homework.
Yo hago ejercicio. = I exercise.

Conocer = to know (must be followed by “a”)
conozco          conocemos
conoces          conocéis
conoce            conocen

Yo conozco a Ana. = I know Ana.


Oír - to hear
oigo            oímos
oyes            oís
oye              oyen

Yo oigo la television. = I hear the television.

  • Personal “a”

Whenever a person is the object of a verb, the personal “a” must be used before the verb, except when using the verb “tener”

Yo conozco a María. = I know María.
Yo oigo a María. = I hear María
Yo cuido a María.= I take care of María.
Yo hablo a María. = I speak to María.

The personal “a” can also be used with animals that are pets, but it is not required.
Yo voy a cuidar a mi gato. OR Yo voy a cuidar mi gato.


   ü    Review the past irregular verbs: ser (pg 35) tener (pg 78), ir (pg 130), and estar (pg 134).


   
   ü    Be aware that you use “ser” for describing yourself, saying where you are from, and for telling time and that you use “estar” to describe your feelings and your location (where you are right now).


   ü      Know how to answer these five questions orally:


  1. ¿Qué vas a hacer el sábado? = What are you going to do on Saturday?

Ex.   El sábado voy a pasear. (Choose a verb, and do not conjugate it)

  1. ¿A qué hora vas a hacer la tarea? = At what time are you going to do your homework?

Ex.   Voy a hacer la tarea a las cinco de la tarde. (Choose your time)


  1. ¿Adónde vas con tus amigos? = Where do you go with your friends?

Ex.   Voy al parque con mis amigos. (Choose where you go)

  1. ¿Qué te gusta leer? = What do you like to read?

         Ex. Me gusta leer una novela. (Choose what you like to read)


  1. ¿Qué te gusta hacer en tu tiempo libre (free time)? = What do you like to do in your free time?

       Ex. Me gusta tocar la guitarra. (Choose what you like to do)
