viernes, el dieciocho de noviembre

Spanish I:

  • We went over expressing possession using "de" and how to say what belongs to people.
  • We did exercises 10,11 and 12, pgs 80-81. This is due Monday, November 21st
 Grammar Notes:

  • In English, you use an apostrophe to show possession: Ann's dog.
  • In Spanish, you need to switch the order of words around because there is no apostrophe in Spanish. So you must say "the dog of Ann": el perro de Ann.
  • You do this for things you own and for relationships
Ex. 
Es la camisa de Juan. = It is Juan's shirt.    
La camisa es de Juan. = The shirt is Juan's.

Either of these sentences are correct, and mean the same thing.

Ella es la madre de Juan. = She is Juan's mother.

Ana y Pedro son los padres de Juan. = Ana and Pedro are Juan's parents.
