3. Practice “trusting our gut” and preterite/imperfect endings.

PARTE A:
Instructions: Turn off the “analysis paralysis”!!! Just make sense of the following questions and underlined words. You will be so far ahead of the game if you just trust the meaning of these words without first needing a list of explanations for why they look the way they look. Before you ever produce Spanish you have to first understand it. Trust your gut, figure out what these mean and answer them!

--¿Estás nervioso/a que vayamos a tener un examen en unas semanas?
--Si yo pudiera ser animal, sería un delfín. Si pudieras ser animal, ¿cuál serías?
--Si tuvieras un millón de dólares, ¿a quiénes les darías el dinero?
--¿Estás triste que hoy sea el lunes?
--Si fueras profesor/a, ¿cuál materia enseñarías?

PARTE B:
Pretérito (acción en el pasado) : “-ed”
Imperfecto (descripción en el pasado): “used to __” / “was/were…-ing” / “would ___” (en el pasado)

Instrucciones: Primero escribe P para el pretérito. Escribe I para el imperfecto. Segundo escribe la forma en español.

Ejemplo: you all would sing (past) __I__ (cantaban) you all sang __P__ (cantaron)
