PRE-INTERMEDIATE COURSE, 2021, CLASS 7

 Clase 7

 

We revised how to say the following in Spanish….

A skyscraper – un rascacielos

To go abroad – ir al extranjero

To dress up – disfrazarse

To ski – esquiar

To do a parachute jump – tirarse en paracaídas

 

We continued with the theme of “ya” and “todavía”

Ya – already

Todavía no – not yet

But remember, we use “ya” in the question, even though in English we use “yet”.

Ya has comprado el pan – have you bought the bread yet?

No, todavía no he comprado el pan – I haven’t bought it yet.

Sí, ya he comprado el pan – Yes, I have already bought the bread.

We then practiced the sentences with the pronouns instead of the nouns….

¿Ya has comprado el pan?

Sí, ya lo he comprado.

In this sentence we use “lo” to stand in for “el pan”, so as to avoid repetition.

¿Ya has puesto la mesa?

No, todavía no la he puesto.

We use “la” for “la mesa”.

¿Ya has comido las patatas?

Sí, ya las he comido.

Las patatas – las

 

To sum up, the pronouns we use are – lo, la, los, las
