Homework is Chapter 2...summarize each paragraph.


Spanish 2:

Animal Challenge: Make this up.

Song Activity: Strips of the song put into order by hearing the song.

Reviewed regular command and irregular command and the written tilde when adding a D.O.P.

Example:

re-co-ge=3 syllables.

Rule #1 states that we don't need the tilde if the accentuation (loudest syllable) is the second to the last.

re-CO-ge

When we add "la lata" and then change it to "la" we are adding a fourth syllable.

re-CO-ge-la

Remember the accentuation will never change with a command when we add a pronoun. Obviously this now breaks rule one because the accentuation is on the third to the last syllable instead of the second to the last. Now we have to write the tilde over the "o"

recógela

All of the verbs in the song are irregular. The command form need to be memorized because on these you can't use the he/she conjugation or just drop the "r" The also have only one syllable. Therefore the accentuation is on that syllable.

TEN (have)

When we add a pronoun we are making it two syllables:

TEN-lo

Since the accentuation stays in the same place, this doesn't break rule number one because it is on the second to the last syllable.

What was the point?

1. Any command that has two or more syllables before adding the pronoun will require a written tilde when adding one.

2. Any command (all irregulars from the song fit this) that has one syllable before adding the pronoun won't ever need written tilde unless you are adding 2 pronouns.

Example:

DI (tell)
DI-me (tell me) Follows Rule One
DI-me-lo (tell it to me). Breaks rule one.
