INTERMEDIATE COURSE, 2022, CLASS 4

 Clase 4

 

We revised the imperatives in Spanish with tú

levántate

lávate

ponte el Abrigo

sal

corre

 

We use the third person of the present tense for the positive imperative…..

trabajar – trabaja

comer – come

vivir – vive

 

…..except for irregular verbs…

ir – ve

tener – ten

salir – sal

decir – di

 

we revised some verbs for instructions

coloca las manos en la cabeza – place your hands on your head

date la vuelta – turn around

echa la cabeza hacia atrás – put your head back

dobla el brazo – bend your arm

 

we looked at some advice for various sports on p.10 and 11

el chaleco salvavidas – lifejacket

ve en fila – go in a line

para no resbalar – so you don’t slip

un sillín – a saddle

para no deshidratarse – so you don’t dehydrate



We then listened to a song – No me llames

entregarse – to give yourself

una herida – a wound

herir – to hurt, wound

descifrar – to decipher

me temo encontrarte – I am afraid of meeting you

temerse – to be afraid

el estribillo – the chorus

 

no me llames – don’t call me

no me busques – don’t look for me

no me escribas – don’t write to me

 

This is a negative imperative – we form it with the subjunctive

eg. Tener; First person – tengo,

Take off the “o” – teng- ,

Add the endings; tenga    (“a” for ER/IR, “e” for AR)

 

For homework we have to do the exercise on p.14
