martes, el trece de abril del dos mil diez

Español Uno (1):

Announcement: Classes shortened to 47 minutes each due to assembly.

Today’s Agenda:

1. Review the answers to yesterday’s practice grammar quiz, circling areas that still need improvement.

2. Receive our last grammar quiz, and look for trends. Have you improved your grammar knowledge since we took the quiz? Has your knowledge declined since then? Remember, you are accountable for all this information indefinitely. You will continue to be quizzed on this same material (and more) as we keep moving along.

3. Practice writing phrases with our preterite endings & direct object pronouns (“it” & “them”).

--I ate………………………………………………………………..comí
--I ate them (the eggs)……………………………………..los comí
--we danced……………………………………………………..bailamos
--we danced it (“la salsa”)…………………………………la bailamos
--they ascended……………………………………………….subieron
--they ascended them (they pyramids)…………….las subieron
--you called……………………………………………………….llamaste
--you called it (the store)…………………………………..la llamaste

4. Fill out three more known irregular verbs on our blue, preterite packet.

HACER (“did” / “made”)

hizo……………………….hicieron

PODER (“managed to”)
pude……………………..pudimos
pudiste………………………………..

DECIR (“said”)

What do we notice about all our irregular, preterite verbs? NO ACCENTS!

--cuadrado/a
