- We went over yesterday's exercises and corrected them in class.
- We began a new lesson on jusing "hay", and on how to give the date, and how to give your age and birthday. We did exercises #16, 17, and 18 pgs 84-85.
1) Hay
In Spanish, "hay" means "there is" or "there are":
Hay diez chicos en la clase. = There are ten boys in the class.
No hay chicos en la clase. = There are no boys in the class.
Hay un perro en la clase. = There is a dog in the class.
2) Giving the date
Remember that to give the date in Spanish, you need to change the order of the words around. We do not say October 22nd in Spanish. Instead we say the 22 of October. Don't forget that days of the week and months are NOT capitalized in Spanish, and that we do not add any letters to the numbers (no using 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc).
Example:
¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy? = What is today's date?
Note:
If it is the first of the month, you need to write:
Hoy es el primero de noviembre (It is November first).
3) Giving your birthday
To say that it is your birthday:
¿Cuál es la fecha de tu cumpeaños? = When is your birthday?
Mi cumpleaños es el trece de marzo. = My birthday is March 13th.
To say that it is someone else's birthday:
El cumpleaños de Francisco es el dos de mayo. = Francisco's birthday is May 2nd.
IMPORTANT:
- The 1,3 chapter test will be on Monday, Dec 5th. the study guide is on my Berkley website, and was posted on the blog yesterday. It will be handed out in class next week. Click below to see the study guide.
4th grade Spanish:
