Lesson Summary

You will learn to understand classroom instructions.

Key Notes

  • Revisiting vocabulary helps us review important and useful Spanish words that we can confidently use in class.
  • In Spanish, we can use the 1st person plural - the 'we' form - for classroom instructions.
  • To form the 'we' form with regular -ar verbs, remove the -ar ending and add -amos.
  • To form the 'we' form with regular -er verbs, remove the -er ending and add -emos.
  • With Spanish verbs, we don't usually need to use the pronouns; the verb ending tells us who does the action.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • verb: a word that communicates actions or states
  • 1st person plural: form of pronouns and verbs used to refer to 'we'

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • When using verbs in Spanish, we need to use pronouns, as we do in English to describe who is doing the action.
