El español II - el 30 de abril de 2013

EL PRETERITO
1. Repaso - Regular PRESENTE & Pretérito conjugations - we wrote out notes/practices - creating our own handouts.
2. LOS IRREGULARES del PRETERITO:
We used our white EL PRETERITO reference handout to learn about these many oddities of this important past tense.
  A. Ser & Ir - We observed the forms and noticed they share the same ones, READ page 140 in our Text Book, and continued making our own handout - this is on the back of the one we started at the beginning of class.
  B. Dar & Ver - Neither have accents and DAR "thinks" it is an "-er/ir verb"!
  C. "Grouped Irregulars" - These completely change the root of the verb by using one of these four ways:
    1. UV  2. U  3. I  4. J
  D. Present-tense Stem-changers in the Preterite: ONLY those ending with -IR have a change and then ONLY in 3rd person.
  E. "Meaning Changers" from the present to the preterite (bottom of the last page).

LA CASA - Partner Review:  Partners checked each others' rough drafts to make sure the (1) Work had all of the information required and (B) the words were spelled correctly. 

TAREA:
