Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. The SSC [e] is pronounced as in 'elefante'
  2. The SSC [i] is pronounced as in 'idea'
  3. The 1st person plural of present tense -AR verbs ends in -amos.
  4. 'Junto' and 'solo' describe verbs like adverbs but agree for gender and number like adjectives.

Keywords

  • [e] - pronounced as in 'elefante'

  • [i] - pronounced as in 'idea'

  • Present tense - describes habitual events in the present: 'I do', 'we do'

  • -ar verbs - a group of infinitives that end in -ar

  • 1st person plural - form of the verb used to refer to I and others, i.e. we

Common misconception

When we conjugate the verb we just add the ending to the infinitive.

In Spanish when we conjugate a verb, first, we remove the -ar ending and then add the correct ending depending on who is doing the action of the verb.

The teacher might want to do a conjugation competition with the whole class. They could use all the -ar verbs the pupils have learned so far, and ask them to conjugate a verb by giving them the person of the verb learned so far.
