JueVES EL 14 DE ABRIL

Hola
Today we worked on reviewing vocabulary for monday's test. I have packets for you when you get to class.

Viernes, Lunes, y Martes Ay Caramba!

Mis Disculpas, i did ot write on the blog in the last couple days... and we have done so much!!

El viernes, Sr. Lingle was your substitute...
You worked on your Direct Object Pronoun packet.

El lunes, We worked more on the packet. We then watched "Gramactiva" for the chapter, which went over Directo object pronouns... and introduced you to the easy ones: me, te, and nos.

me invitas = you invite me
te invito = i invite you
los invitamos = we invite them
nos invitan = they invite us.

you then needed to complete all the ones in the packet that we skipped. The packet was turned in on tuesday.

El martes we corrected the last sections and turned in the packet. Then we watched the rest of the "gramactiva" which reviewes the irregular preterite verbs.

Then we watched "En busca de la verdad" (page 150-151) and answered Comprendiste #1-8.
El miercoles, we watched "En Busca de la Verdad" again, but this time with a script. We answered some questions in order to understand what is going on... this is important because you will be continuing this videomisterio for the rest of the semester.

After that we turned to page 146, Your homework is to read the Lectura and answer the 6 questions under Comprendiste.

We will have a test on Monday.

6 y 7 de Abril

for the last two days we have worked on a packet with exercised on changing direct objects to direct object pronouns. You will finish the packet tomorrow with Mr. Lingle.

April 5, 2011

Oye Chicos! Today we learned about OBJETOS DIRECTOS!!

The only one that is weird is "Lo" because the other three are "La" "Las" and "Los"

In English, this topic makes sense:

Did you see Ana?
you=subject
see (with the helping verb that they don't use in Spanish)=verb
Ana= direct object

but you can of course always change a noun to a pronoun:

Yes I saw her.
her= direct object pronoun.

So lets look at this same sentence in Spanish:

¿Tú viste a Ana?
Tú=sujeto
viste=verbo
Ana = objeto directo

Podemos cambiar el nombre a un pronombre...
Sí, la vi.
la= pronombre de objeto indirecto

Let’s try it with each of the pronouns:

1. ¿Él tuvo el libro? No, no lo tuvo.
2. ¿Los estudiantes comieron las hamburguesas? Sí, las comieron.
3. ¿Compramos los videojuegos? No, no los compramos.

Notice, the pronoun goes BEFORE THE CONJUGATED VERB!!! (that is different than in English… so pay attention to it.

I wish I could say it stops there, but it doesn’t. If you have two verbs in a sentence, one conjugated and one not, then you can play around with the location of the pronoun. For example:

I could not see it (the movie) = No, no la pude ver. OR = No, no pude verla.
I have to read it (the book) = Lo tengo que leer. OR = Tengo que leerlo.

Notice that your two options are to put it in front of the conjugated verb, like normal, or you can attach it to the end of the verb in the infinitive!! (That seems more normal to us, because it follows English. It is also what you will hear most often)

*What if the verb is a COMMAND? Like “Read it” or “Do it” or “Look at it”??
Then you attach it to the end of the verb in the command form:
“Léalo” “Hazlo” “Míralo” But this is for another time.
