Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- Present tense -er/-ir verbs in 1st, 2nd, 3rd person singular (-o, -es, -e).
- Verbs that end in –cer or –cir that have a spelling change in the 1st person singular. We add a 'z' before the 'co'.
- Direct object pronouns (lo, la, los, las) come before the verb.
- Use 'lo' to mean 'him' or 'it' (for masculine objects) and 'la' to mean 'her' or 'it' (for feminine objects).
- Use 'los' to mean 'them' (for masculine objects) and 'las' to mean 'them' (for feminine objects).
Keywords
Present tense - describes habitual events in the present: 'I do'
Irregular verb - does not follow the regular rules
Object pronoun - replace a noun that is the object of the sentence
Definite articles - are used to identify a specific noun or to refer to a noun that has already been specified
Common misconception
'El' and 'lo' are interchangeable, as 'la' (article) and 'la' (DOP) and 'las' (article) and 'las' (DOP) look exactly the same.
Remember that direct object pronouns (lo, la, los and las) come before a verb. 'El' is the masculine singular form of the definite article 'the'.
