jueves, el dieciocho de abril

Spanish I:
  • 1st, 2nd and 4th hour reviewed using estar with emotions and acabar de with a verb to talk about what you have just done.
  • 6th and 7th hour began yesterday's new lesson. We went over the new vocabulary for 3.1 and went over using "estar" with emotions, "acabar de" to talk about what you just did, and "venir a/de" to talk about where you are coming to or from.
  • All classes did book exercises #5,6,9, & 10, pgs 181-184. These are due on Monday, Apr 22nd.
Grammar Lesson:
  • Using "estar" with emotions
estoy    estamos
estás    estáis
está      están

Yo estoy cansado. = I am tired.
Ella está cansada. = She is tired.
Nosotros estamos cansados. = We are tired.
Ellas están cansadas. = They are tired.

IMPORTANT: The adjective (of emotion) must match the person it describes in gender (masculine or femenine) and number (singular or plural).

Using "acabar de" + infinitive verb
acabo   acabamos
acabas   acabáis
acaba    acaban

Using "acabar de" + infinitive is a way of writing about the past, about something that just happened.

Yo acabo de estudiar. = I just studied.

IMPORTANT: You need to conjugate acabar, but you do not conjugate the verb that follows "de"
  • Using venir
Venir = to come
You use it to say you are coming to a place, or coming from a place

vengo    venimos
vienes    venís
viene      vienen

Yo vengo a la escuela. = I come to the school.
Yo vengo al gimnasio. = I come to the gymnasium.
Yo vengo de la escuela. = I come from the school.
Yo vengo del gimnasio. = I come from the gymnasium.

IMPORTANT:

a la: does not change
a + el :changes to 'al'
de la: does not change
de + el: changes to 'del'
