What I and others do: AR and -ER singular and plural verbs

Lesson Summary

You will learn to ask about activities at a fundraising event.

Key Notes

  • Any vowel with a written accent (a symbol) is stressed (pronounced more heavily and with greater emphasis).
  • New vocabulary helps us talk about different subjects, like fundraising events.
  • To say she, he, it with an -er verb, remove -er ending and add -e. To say you, remove -er ending and add -es.
  • To change a statement into a question, you raise your voice at the end. This is called raised intonation.
  • Spanish uses two question marks - a regular one at the end, like in English and an upside down one at the start.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • stress: pronouncing a syllable more heaily than other syllables in a word
  • accent: symbol added on top of vowels to indicate something about their pronunciation
  • intonation: rise and fall of the voice in speaking

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Vowels with accents don't make any difference in how we pronounce words.
