Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- The suffix '-tion' at the end of an English word is often '-ción' in Spanish; all '-ción' words are feminine.
- '-ción' words lose the accent in the plural form; this is because the stress now falls on the penultimate syllable.
- The verb 'dar' means 'to give, giving'; its plural 'we' form is 'damos'.
- The verb 'querer' means 'to want, wanting'; its plural 'we' form is 'queremos'.
Keywords
Suffix - a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word to change its meaning or how it is used, e.g. 'educate' → 'education'
Irregular verb - a verb that does not follow the regular rules
Dar - -ar irregular verb meaning 'to give, giving'
Querer - -er irregular verb meaning 'to want, wanting'
Common misconception
All the words ending in '-ción' and '-ciones' must have an accent.
If a word ends in 'n' or 's' and has final syllable stress, it must have an accent, e.g. 'la opción'. However, if a word ending in 'n' or 's' has penultimate syllable stress, it does not need an accent, e.g. 'las opciones'.
Teacher tip
The teacher might want to ask students to create their own flashcards, so that they can use them to revise the vocabulary little and often.
