2.2 Examen Study Guide

ü              ALL vocab is fair game!  Make sure that you know everything from past vocabulary tests, even if we rarely used it!

ü              Know the verb “ir” = to go

Yo voy = I go/I’m going                                   Nosotros vamos = We go/are going

Tú vas = you go/You’re going                           Vosotros vais = you go/are going

Él/ella/usted va = He/she/you go/are going    Ellos/ellas/ustedes van = They/you go/are going

Using the verb “ir”:

1)      ¿Adónde vas? = Where are you going?

Voy a la cafeteria. = I am going to the cafeteria.

Voy al gimnasio. = I am going to the gymnasium.

(Remember that ‘a’ +‘el’ becomes ‘al’)

Yo estoy    = I am                                  Nosotros estamos = We are

Tú estás      = You are                             Vosotros estáis = You are

Él/ella/usted está = He/she/you is/are   Ellos/ellas/ustedes están = They/you are

Using the verb “estar”:

We use the verb “estar” to say where people or things are located.

La profesora está en la clase. = The teacher is in the classroom.

2) ¿Dónde está…?  = Where is…?

¿Dónde está Ricardo? Ricardo está en la clase. = Where is Richard? Richard is in class.

ü              Know how to tell time

1) Any 1:00 time is considered singular, and you must start your sentence with

 “Es la una.”

Any 2:00-12:00 time is considered plural, and you must start your sentence with

“Son las dos.”

 2) Use ‘y’ + minutes for the number of minutes after the hour.

1:05    Es la una y cinco. (Do not say ‘cero” for zero)

2:10:   Son las dos y diez.

  3) Use ‘menos’ + minutes for the number of minutes before the hour.

12:50   Es la una menos diez.

1:50     Son las dos menos diez.

4) Use ‘cuarto’ for quarter past and ‘media’ for half past.

1:15    Es la una y cuarto.

2:30    Son las dos y media.

5) When you are talking about when something will happen, use “a la una/a las dos”

¿A qué hora es la clase de español? La clase de español es a las dos. = At what time is Spanish class? Spanish class is at 2 pm.

6) Know how to answer the question:

¿Qué hora es? = What time is it?

Es la una/Son las dos. = It is one o’clock/It is two o’clock.
