EDITING TIPS:
VERBS:
• ARE you USING the correct past tense? = How do you know?
• ARE you using the correct verb = meaning (meaning changers in the preterite)
• ARE you using the correct ending = person the action
• ARE you using the ending = -ar, -er + -ir verbs
COMMON ERROR: Yo com aba"perros calientes. – PROBLEM? – ar ending on an –er verb
CORRECT FORM: Comer - YO comía ….
NOUNS + ADJECTIVES
• AGREEMENT = Matching the gender & number of the adjective to the noun being described.
COMMON ERROR: El río bonita – SHOULD BE bonito
m/f = gender (género)
s/pl = number (número)
• Órden de las palabras
NOUN comes 1st, THEN describe
• Posesión
Manejé mi papa’s coche = “Spanglish”
Manejé el coche de mi papa = Correct form
SER & ESTAR =
No matter HOW YOU FEEL OR WHERE YOU ARE
ALWAYS USE THE VERB ESTAR
It was Saturday = ALWAYS use the IMP for time, dates, days.
ERA sábado = It was Saturday.

BIEN versus Buen (Bueno)
Bien = talks about HOW YOU DO something
Hablo español bien ( modifies the verb) = well.
Buen = shortened form of bueno (adj.)
and is used only in front of a s/m noun.
Es un buen libro. Es un libro bueno.
Es un bien libro = the book is a well book.
“Good enough never is”
