Today’s Learning Objectives:

1. Complete our "para empezar" warm-up:

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 contento/a que por fin sea el viernes?
--Quiero ver una película este fin. ¿Cuál película recomiendas que yo vea?
--Dudo que vaya a nevar. ¿También dudas que vaya a nevar?
--En la clase de español, ¿pueden Uds. sentarse donde quieran?
--Es horrible que no tengamos clase de español los sábados y los domigos, ¿no?

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