Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. Tapas are small Spanish dishes - practising their names is a useful way to revisit sound-symbol correspondences.
  2. To say 'we' with an -ar verb, remove the -ar ending and add -amos. To say 'they', remove -ar ending and add -an.
  3. To say 'love' or 'hate' doing something, use the correct form of the verbs 'amar' and 'odiar' and add the infinitive.
  4. In English, phrases like 'we love' and 'we hate' can be followed by the infinitive (to + verb) or the gerund (-ing).

Keywords

  • Infinitive - form of the verb found in dictionary giving the general meaning of the verb

  • Gerund - -ing form of the verb that functions as a noun in a sentence

Common misconception

When talking about what we like and hate, we change the ending of ‘amar’ or ‘odiar’ to say who loves or hates and add the gerund (-ing) of the verb that follows, as in English.

We change the ending of ‘amar’ or ‘odiar’ to say who loves or hates, but the verb that follows is in the infinitive.
