Preterite practice test -
A. Selecting the verb that best fits the sentence and then conjugating it in the form needed.

C. Practicing the IRREGULAR preterite forms of SER and IR - NOT ON TOMORROW'S TEST.

Preterite CONJUGATION Flash Cards. I made sets cards based on our PRETERITE (PINK) VERB GRID including cards for all of the :
Subject Pronouns
Verb Stems
Preterite -AR endings and -ER/-IR endings
I distributed scissors and students cut apart their sets of cards and put them in the snack size baggies I purchased for them.

Sentence Flash Card Practice Game. I gave the class a simple sentence that could be translated with the preterite flash cards, and the students put the cards together on their desks to translate them to Spanish. See the separate blog of sentences you can use to practice for the test tomorrow.
