Key learning points
- A diphthong is a sound formed by the combination of two vowels in one syllable.
- To say you (sg) are doing something with an -ar verb, use 'estás' + a verb ending in -ando.
- To say you (pl) are doing something with an -ar verb, use 'estáis' + a verb ending in -ando.
Keywords
Diphthong - sound formed by the combination of two vowels in one syllable
Present continuous - describes events happening right now, e.g. 'I am playing'
Common misconception
Like in English, I can use the same form of the verb to adress 'you' for one person and 'you' for several people.
In Spanish, there are different verb endings to refer to 'you' (singular) and 'you' (plural). For -ar verbs these are -as and -áis.
Teacher tip
You could show students a video of a 'pelota vasca' game to highlight the fast pace of the sport.
