ELEMENTARY COURSE, AUTUMN 2021, CLASS 5

 This week we learned about animals and comparisons

 

Un toro - a bull

Un gato - a cat

Un perro - a dog

Un ratón - a mouse

Un conejo - a rabbit

Un pez - a fish

Un cerdo - a pig

Una ballena - a whale

Un caballo - a horse

Un oso - an eagle

Una araña - a spider

Un pato - a duck

Un pájaro - a bird

Un mono - a monkey

Un delfín - a dolphin

Un león - a lion

 

We looked at some adjectives to describe animals:

 

Rápido / rápida - fast

Bonito / bonita - beautiful

Peligroso / peligrosa - dangerous

Inteligente - intelligent

Delicioso / deliciosa - delicious

Amable - kind, nice

Tímido / tímida - shy

feo / fea - ugly

 



We used this vocabulary to compare:

 

Mas + adjective + que - more … than

Una ballena es más grande que un raton - A whale is bigger than a mouse

Un ratón es más pequeño que una ballena - A mouse is smaller than a whale

 

No tan + adjective + que - not as … as

Una ballena es más grande que un raton - A whale is bigger than a mouse

Una ballena no es tan pequeña como un ratón - A whale is not as small as a mouse. 

 

In the last part of the class, in groups we came up with comparisons and we share them in class. Some examples are: 

Creo que una ballena es más inteligente que un perro - I think a whale is more intelligent than a dog. 

No estoy de acuerdo. Pienso que un perro es mucho más inteligente. - I don't agree. I think a dog is much more intelligent.

Creo que un gato es más inteligente que un pez - I think a cat is more intelligent than a fish.

Creo que un cerdo no es tan amable como un perro - I think a pig is not as kind as a dog.

Creo que un cerdo es más feo que un perro - I think a pig is more ugly than a dog.
