Español Dos (2):

Today’s Agenda:

1. Review conjugating bañarse & repartir in the preterite. If you’re AT ALL fuzzy on those regular preterite endings, go back and practice them!!!

BAÑARSE (to bathe oneself)
me bañé……………nos bañamos
te bañaste……………………….
se bañó……………..se bañaron

REPARTIR (to deliver)
repartí………………repartimos
repartiste……………………….
repartió……………..repartieron

2. Listen to our new song of the week: “Me pregunto.” Nice job catching the first four missing words: ciudad, pensar, viene, para.

3. Answer questions #28-36 on our list of chapter questions.

4. Brainstorm the stem-changing verbs (verbos de cambio radical) that we know:
e-->ie………………..e-->i………………o-->ue
pensar……………….pedir………………dormir
cerrar………………..seguir………………acostarse
entender…………….vestirse…………….poder
querer………………decir...……………..devolver
empezar…………….repetir……………..costar
preferir
sentarse
sentirse
despertarse
tener
venir

5. Discuss how stem-changing verbs work in the preterite. All information was written on our blue, preterite packet.

-AR & -ER verbs DON’T stem-change in the preterite. They conjugate just like regular verbs in the preterite.

PENSAR (to think)
pensé……………..pensamos
pensaste……………………
pensó……………..pensaron

-IR verbs are no longer “boot verbs.” They become “sandal verbs.”
-“Sandal verbs” only stem-change in the “sandal” (the s/he form & the they form).
-“Sandal verbs” only stem-change to the FIRST vowel (o-->u, e-->i)

DORMIR (to sleep)
dormí…………………dormimos
dormiste…………………………
durmió………………...durmieron

6. Review 2-3 & 2-4 in the workbook.

7. Begin the homework.

Homework: 2-5 & 2-6 in the workbook (all even’s in English, as well).
