      Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

      Key learning points

      1. In Spanish, all words with last syllable stress that end in -n, -s or a vowel have an accent.
      2. The verb 'hacer' means 'to do' and 'to make'. It can also mean 'to go' with some sports.
      3. The 'I' form is irregular. To say 'I do', use 'hago'; 'you do' is 'haces'; 'she, he, it does' is 'hace'.
      4. We can also use 'hago', 'haces', 'hace' to mean 'I am doing', 'you are doing', 'she, he, it is doing'.
      5. To say the position of something, use 'a la derecha' to mean 'on the right' and 'a la izquierda' to mean 'on the left'.

      Keywords

      • Hago - I do, part of the verb 'hacer' meaning to do and to make

      • Haces - you do, part of the verb 'hacer' meaning to do and to make

      • Hace - she, he, it does, part of the verb 'hacer' meaning to do and to make

      Common misconception

      Th verb 'hacer' only means 'to do' and 'to make'.

      The verb 'hacer' can be translated as 'to do' and 'to make' but it can also be translated as 'to go' when used with some sports such as 'natación' and 'ciclismo', e.g. 'hago natación' - 'I go swimming'.

      Teacher tip

      Pupils may need additional practice at accurately translating 'hacer' as 'to do', 'to make', 'to go'. A sorting activity may be useful here to help pupils recognise the different uses of the verb.
