Keywords
-ar verbs - a verb whose infinitive form ends in -ar
Subject - person, people or thing(s) doing the verb
Common misconception
Spanish verbs follow the same pattern as English verbs. The 'I', 'you', 'we' and 'they' forms are all the same and the only change happens in the 'she, he, it' form.
In Spanish, each subject has its own special ending. For -ar verbs, this is '-o' for 'I', '-as' for 'you', '-a' for 'she, he, it', '-amos' for 'we' and '-an' for 'they'.
Teacher tip
The teacher might want to use the writing task as a classroom project where each student could create a poster about their activities with their families and include photos as well. The teacher might want to create a classroom display.
