PRE-INTERMEDIATE COURSE, 2022, CLASS 4

 clase 4

 

We began by talking about language learning

conjugar verbs – conjugating verbs – splitting them into yo, tú, ella etc….

tomar apuntes – to take notes

apuntar – to take notes

corregir los deberes – to correct homework

ella corrige los deberes – she corrects homework (this is a radical changing verb, the vowel changes in the present tense)

el tiempo verbal – the verb tense

quiere un novio español para mejorar su español – she wants a Spanish boyfriend to improve her Spanish

le gusta ver las películas en español

le gusta ver las películas españolas

le gusta ver la tele española

A Alan le gusta….. – a reminder that when we use a name with “gustar” we need the small word “a” with it.

 

We talked about motivations for learning Spanish. This is on p.11.

Isabelle aprende español para obtener buenas notas en el examen – to get good grades

Cathal aprende porque quiere hablar con la gente en España y pedir en restaurantes

It is important to look at the difference between the use of “para” and “porque” when giving reasons.

Voy a la tienda para comprar pan – para + infinitivo

Voy a la tienda porque necesito pan – porque + verbo conjugado

For homework we have to complete the exercises on p.11
