Español Dos (2):

Today’s Learning Objectives:

1. Practice communicating “is…ing” in Spanish. There are TWO ways! To communicate what is happening right now, you can use the present tense OR the present progressive.

Forming the present progressive is very easy.
(estoy/estás/está/estamos/están) + (-ando / -iendo)

estoy hablando = I am talking
estás andando = you are walking
está comiendo = he is eating
estamos gritando = we are shouting
están bebiendo = they/y’all are drinking

-AR verbs use –ando.
-ER/IR verbs use –iendo.

**-IR sandal verbs have a spelling change (o-->u) or (e-->i).

Escriban las dos formas de estas frases:
--Juan is reviewing the problem.
--The student council is delivering the yearbooks.
--Are you wearing a tie?
--The soccer player is scoring a goal.
--Are you lying?
--Is he turning 80?
--I am turning on the heater.
--The car is following the truck.

Las respuestas correctas.
--Juan (repasa / está repasando) el problema.
--El consejo estudiantil (reparte / está repartiendo) los anuarios.
--¿(Llevas / Estás llevando) una corbata?
--El jugador de fútbol (mete / está metiendo) un gol.
--¿(Mientes / Estás mintiendo)?
--¿(Cumple / Está cumpliendo) (ochenta años/los ochenta)?
--(Prendo / Estoy prendiendo) el calentador. OR (Enciendo / Estoy encendiendo) el calentador.
--El coche (sigue / está siguiendo) el camión.

2. Listen to our new song of the week: “Perdona” by Tiziano Ferro. Nice job catching the first three missing words: regalo, pido, pienso. Quick grammar tangent reviewing the difference between “pido” and “pregunto.”

3. Review 8-1 in the workbook. We will review 8-2 in class tomorrow.

4. With a partner, read the story “La vida sin crema de afeitar.” Illustrate each paragraph into a six-frame illustration. We will review the story tomorrow.
