Key learning points
- Present-tense verbs ending in -gir or -ger have a spelling change in the 1st person singular e.g. dirigir > dirijo.
- [gi] and [ge] are pronounced as in ‘imaginar’ and ‘gente’.
- [j] is pronounced as in 'ojo'.
- You can use context, cognates and prior learning to aid reading comprehension.
- Before translating from English into Spanish, it is important to consider the grammatical features involved.
Keywords
[gi] - pronounced as in 'imaginar'
[ge] - pronounced as in 'gente'
[j] - pronounced as in 'ojo'
Irregular 1st person verb - verb that is irregular in the 1st person singular form of the present tense
Common misconception
In Spanish, [g] is always pronounced as in 'gol'.
The pronunciation of [g] varies depending on the vowels that follow. [g] followed by [a], [o] or [u] is hard, whereas [g] followed by [i] or [e] is soft.
