- The 2nd person singular talks about 'you'. To mean 'you' with an -er verb, the ending changes to -es.
- The 2nd person singular talks about 'you'. To mean 'you' with an -er verb, the ending changes to -es.
- Spanish statements become questions by raising tone of voice at the end.
Keywords
Personal 'a' - the preposition 'a' that is used after verbs like 'ver' or 'visitar' when we see or visit a person or pet
-er verbs - a verb whose infinitive form ends in -er
2nd person singular - form of pronouns and verbs used to talk about 'you'
Common misconception
The verbs 'ver' and 'visitar' are used in the same way regardless of who or what you are visiting.
When seeing or visiting a person or a pet, you need to add in the preposition 'a' after the verb.
Teacher tip
It may be helpful to spend additional time on revising inflection for questions and allowing pupils to practise raising their voices at the end to change statements into questions.
