futuro cercano

For warm-up activity, students wrote down all reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos, se).

I finished the grammar lecture, including:

Indirect object pronouns (which we worked on at the beginning of the year)

me
te
le
nos
les

These look similar to reflexive pronouns but are different in él/ella/usted and ellos/ustedes. Indirect objects are used (among other times) with verbs like gustar.

Students should think of gustar as to be pleasing to rather than to like.

Me gusta el café. (Literally, coffee is pleasing to me).
Indirect object pronouns mean, literally, to or for me/you/he/us/they.

It is also important for students to know how to use gustar. Gustar normally is seen as gusta or gustan.

Me gusta el chocolate. (gusta is used here because chocolate is a singular noun)
Me gusta viajar. (gusta is used here because what follows is an activity).
Me gustan las montañas (gustan is used because mountains are plural).

Futuro cercano (which we worked on earlier this year)

To talk about the "close" future, we use the combination of ir a + infinitivo.

Voy a estudiar mucho. (I am going to study a lot).
Vamos a hablar con nuestros amigos. (We are going to talk to our friends).

The rest of class we played a review game utilizing all of the information we've worked on lately. Students need to make sure they know all of this grammar from the last three classes so that we can move forward.
