Possessive Adjectives & More - Capítulo 4

En el Capítulo 4 están aprendiendo los adjetivos posesivos y los verbos -ir en español (in Chapter 4 you are learning the possessive adjectives and -ir verbs in Spanish). To practice how to use them, please check the “Señor Jordan” videos, Possessive Adjectives 1 (seen in class) and Possessive Adjectives 2 (homework), and improve your notes. Also: Present Tense of "Verbos -ir." Try to understand how to add these adjectives to sentences and/or question sentences and how to conjugate -ir verbs (like: vivir, abrir, descubrir, escribir, cumplir, recibir, subir, salir); i.e. ¿Dónde vive tu abuelo? ¿Dónde viven tus primos? ¿Dónde vives tú? ¿Dónde vive ella? ¿Dónde vive Carmen? Carmen vive en Los Ángeles. Mis padres y yo vivimos en Nueva York, etc. (using the “Verbo VIVIR” – that you must learn for this chapter). Note: Verbo salir is different for "Yo," you say "Yo salgo" not "Yo salo."

Notice that -er and -ir verbs have the exact same endings except in the "nosotros/ nosotras" and "vosotros/vosotras" forms.

Go to the following sites to practice the possessive adjectives: Worksheet (here you can check your score and practice over and over to make sure you understand the Spanish possessive adjectives), Worsheet 2, Worksheet 3 and Flashcards1, Flashcards 2 (you can listen to the pronunciation too - bottom section). Also study the handout on "Possessive Adjectives" and Page 139 of the Aventura Textbook, and all the pages from Capítulo 4, Lección A in the Aventura Grammar & Vocabulary Workbook Web page and practice all the pages from Lección A (I gave you some of these).

Review Lección A from this chapter and do the exercises mentioned on the previous entry. On Friday you can review these exercises again in the Windows Lab (Aventura Internet Resource Center – Textbook Audio Program). Listen to Page 134, Vocabulario I, to learn how to pronounce this new vocabulary; Page 134, Activity 1; Page 136, Diálogo I; Page 136 Activities 4 and 5; Page 140, Activity No. 9 (you can work with a classmate and help each other); Page 142, Activity 14 (pay attention to how they ask questions using the “verbo vivir” and how they answer them). Page 142, Activity 15 (¿A qué hora salen?) – pay attention to how they create sentences with the information provided, using the “verbo salir.”

When you complete ALL the exercises and activities from Vocabulario I, Lección A, continue with Vocabulario II, Lección A. You can skip Page 152. Listen carefully and repeat all these exercises.
