No school yesterday for memorial day!


Spanish II:

1. Notes on preterit tense (past) and family verbs. (pick up 2 pages of guided notes if you were gone and then take notes on the one with the verb "ir=to go" on it.

Notes: Family Verbs: All are stem changers and even though they are past tense (preterit) they all share a new set of random endings for ar, er, and ir verbs. (see the verb chart)

Example: Hacer=to do, to make.

This is a family verb. In the preterit tense the stem changes to hic and then it uses the new set of endings. e=I, iste=you, o=he, she, you, it, imos=we, ieron *eron=they, you all.

To say I did my bed you would say...hice mi cama.

Now lets take a look at the verb ir/to go in the past tense, this is irregular.

fui-I went
fuiste-you went
fue-he, she went
fuimos-we went
fueron-they, you all went

I will be asking the question...What did you do when you went to the ______.

Qué hicisite cuando fuiste a la (al) ________?

*to say "to the" you will either use "a la" or "al" They both mean to the, the only difference is when you are going to a place that is feminine then you will say "a la" and if the place is masculine you need to use "al" it sounds better. (see back page of guided notes)

Now, to answer the question assuming we were talking about the bank you would say:

Cuando fui al banco deposité dinero. When I went to the bank I deposited money.

If you were talking about the bookstore you would say:

Cuando fui a la librería compré un libro.


2. We then worked on the chapter packet and/or typing your directions for the map project. Both due on Thursday.


If you were gone you need to use the above model to write what you did or bought in the following places in Spanish.

Supermercado
farmacia
iglesia
museo
teatro


Spanish III/IV:

Prep for test on Wednesday with a dart challenge.

Round 1:

I said a sentence and you told me if it was active or passive voice.

Round 2:

I said a sentence in active voice and you changed it to passive voice.

Round 3:

You said your own sentence in passive voice.

While everyone was taking their turn, the rest of the class was writing down their answers as if they were saying it.

If you were gone, you have to come in and make this activity up with me. I will be doing it today after school. If you can't make it then you need to block out 50 minutes to do this activity with me. 10 points per round for a total of 30 points.
