      Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

      Key learning points

      1. 2nd person verbs refer to 'you' (singular or plural).
      2. To form 2nd person singular -ar verbs in the present tense, use the verb ending -as.
      3. To form 2nd person plural -ar verbs in the present tense, use the verb ending -áis.

      Keywords

      • 2nd person singular - form of pronouns and verbs used to refer to 'you' (one person)

      • 2nd person plural - form of pronouns and verbs used to refer to 'you' (several people)

      Common misconception

      To conjugate 2nd person plural -ar verbs, use the verb ending -ais.

      To conjugate 2nd person plural -ar verbs, use the verb ending -áis. The accent on the 'a' is important as it tells us to stress the final syllable.

      Teacher tip

      You could set a time limit for Task B1 to create a sense of urgency and competition.
