Instructions: Read the paragraph in English below, then fill in the chart using the information from the paragraph. If the English sentence is missing, write the English meaning of the Spanish sentence. If the Spanish sentence is missing, write the Spanish meaning of the English sentence.

You and Jacobo like to sing in Chorus class. You also hang out in 4th block, and he tells you that he to paint. That's great because you like to draw. Jacobo's actually a really good painter. You both decide to join the art club during Centurions Connect.

English Español Nosotros cantamos juntos en la clase de coro. Jacobo sings in Chorus class. ¿Te gusta pintar? I like to draw! We sing in Chorus class and draw in Art Club (el club de arte). You're a good painter! ¡Eres buen pintor!

Antonio y Zabulón are two Ecuatoguinean (this is what you call people from Equatorial Guinea) students. They love exploring all of the natural beauty of Equatorial Guinea. When they're not in school or exploring in the mountains, Antonio plays the guitar and Zabulón plays the piano. They talk about starting a band, and decide to practice music together.

English Español Mi amigo y yo exploramos la naturaleza. Do you play the guitar? I like to play the piano. We practice together. Sometimes (a veces) we practice together, and sometimes we explore the mountains. Do you also (también) play the guitar? Tocamos en una banda (a band).

Los verbos "-ar"

Most infinitive verbs in Spanish en in "-ar." These are called "-ar" verbs. You'll also hear them called "AR" verbs or something similar. An infinitive is the basic form of the verb, like "to walk" and "to jump" in English.

Ejemplos:

English Infinitive Verbo Infinitivo en Español to talk hablar to sing cantar to eat comer to write escribir

To use all verbs, we change the ending to match who is doing the action. These are called conjugations. Review your notes. We saw these changes with the verb "ser" already.

Here are some important words to remember:
- Yo means I.
- Tú means you (informal).
- Él/Ella means he/she.
- Nosotros/Nosotras means we.
- Ellos/Ellas means they.

Regular "AR" verbs.

Here's an example of a regular "-AR" verb. We call it regular because there are no changes anywhere in the verb except for the ending.

Verb: Hablar

Singular Plural 1a persona yo hablo nosotros hablamos 2a persona tú hablas vosotros habláis (We won't use this one but we can leave it in the chart in case you want to reference it in the future. 3a persona él/ella/usted habla ellos/ellas/ustedes hablan (Ustedes is "y'all")

Let's try some examples.

Part A)

Complete these charts like the example above for "Hablar". Remove the "-ar" ending, and add the ending you see in the chart above.

Verb: Cantar (to sing)

Singular Plural 1a persona yo: nosotros / nosotras: 2a persona tú: 3a persona él/ella/usted: ellos/ellas/ustedes:

Part B)

Let's pretend we're in Chorus class. Complete the sentences using the correct form of the verb "cantar."

1. Ella ............ una canción (a song) en el concierto.
2. Nosotros ............ juntos (together) en el coro.
3. Tú ............ una canción en la clase de música.
4. Ellos ............ muy bien en el concierto.

What are conjugations? (Write this definition in your own words in your notes or on the handout.)

Conjugations in Spanish are how verbs change their endings to match the subject (who is doing the action) and the tense (when the action is happening). For example, in English, we say "I am" and "he is"—the verb "to be" changes depending on the subject. In Spanish, the verb "ser" (to be) also changes: "soy" for "I am," "eres" for "you are," and so on. Conjugations show who is doing what and when in a sentence. TL;DR: Conjugations are the changes that happen to verbs based on the subject (the person/thing doing the action) and tense (when something is happening). Each subject has a different verb ending.

English verb "to be"

Singular Plural 1st Person (I) am (We) are 2nd Person (You) are (You) are 3rd Person (He/She/It) is (They) are

Working with conjugations:
1) What are these called: I, you, we, they, etc.?
2) What form of “to be” follows the pronoun “they”?
3) Is “he” a first, second, or third person pronoun?
4) Which pronoun would you use with the verb “am”?
5) What is the plural form of “I” - that is, "I" + another person?
6) What verb form corresponds to the pronoun “you” in the singular?

English & Spanish pronouns

Singular Plural 1st Person I = yo we = nosotros / nosotras 2nd Person you = tú (you all / y'all = vosotros / vosotras; we won't use this one in class) 3rd Person he/she = él/ella they = ellos (m) / ellas (f)

The Spanish verb "to be" (one of them) is "Ser"

Singular Plural 1st Person (yo) soy (nosotros / -as) somos 2nd Person (tú) eres (vosotros / as) sois {we won't use this one in class.} 3rd Person (él/ella) es (ellos) son

Examples:
1) He is tall.
2) She is young.
3) The houses are red.

"Gustar" in Spanish

In Spanish, the verb "gustar" is used to give likes and dislikes. In English, we say "I like something." For example, "I like Frosted Flakes." In Spanish, the structure is more like "something is pleasing to me" or "something is nice for me." "Frosted Flakes are nice for me." --> "Los Frosted Flakes me gustan."

Singular: "Me gusta"

• "Me gusta" is used to say you like something.
• Example: Me gusta el chocolate. (I like chocolate.)

Plural: "Me gustan"

• "Me gustan" is used when you like more than one thing.
• Example: Me gustan los libros. (I like books.)

Asking About Likes

When you want to ask someone if they like something, use "te gusta" for singular items and "te gustan" for plural items.

Singular: "Te gusta"

• Example: ¿Te gusta la música? (Do you like music?)

Plural: "Te gustan"

• Example: ¿Te gustan los deportes? (Do you like sports?)

Rompehielos (Icebreaker)

What Spanish do we already know?

What are cognates?

Cognates are words in two languages that look and sound similar because they come from the same root. In Spanish and English, these words often have the same meaning, like "animal" in English and "animal" in Spanish. They help us learn new languages faster because we already know what they mean.

Spanish nouns el teléfono la familia el problema la música el chocolate la televisión el animal la foto el hotel la medicina el actor la fruta el doctor el color la radio el artista el momento la nación el programa la computadora

What about other Spanish terms that we use in our everyday lives?
