We are taking a few classes to review grammatical concepts that students should be relatively familiar with. On Wednesday, we reviewed possessive pronouns, personal pronouns, numbers and when words are masculine/feminine. Today, we focused mostly on verbs. Although some of our grammar review is slightly difficult to grasp especially for students with less exposure to Spanish, it's important and forms the foundation of further study. Several students are heading to high school next year and should be familiar with these concepts to move into a higher level of Spanish.
We've worked with this verb a lot, so most students remembered the verb conjugations.
Tengo, tienes, tiene, tenemos, tienen
* used with possession the same way it's used in English. Tengo una familia grande.
* age. Tengo 15 años.
* to be hot/cold. Tengo calor/frio.
* to be hungry/thirsty. Tengo calor/sed
soy, eres, es, somos, son
* nationality
* personality
* physical characteristics
* profession
estoy, estás, está, estamos, están
* health
* mood
* location
voy, vas, va, vamos, van
* normally used preceded by preposition a. Voy a la casa de mi abuelita.
* can be used to talk about the future when followed by an infinitive/complete verb (viajar, estudiar, trabajar, corer, bailer, cantar). Voy a estudiar. I'm going to study. Vamos a viajar. Van a bailar.
For all verbs ending in -ar (trabajar, estudiar, caminar, bailar, cantar), remove the last two letters and add endings:
-o
-as
-a
-amos
-an
Tarea: study everything we worked on today (and Wednesday). With the irregular verb conjugations, flashcards are a great way to practice.
