CAPÍTULO 3 - !Vamos a la ciudad!

In November we will work on Chapter 3 (Let's go to the city!), you can start working with the vocabulary on pages 90 and 91. By now you should be very proficient at using the Verbos Ser & Estar ("to be" in Spanish), using colors and adjectives in sentences, using definite and indefinite articles with nouns and converting singular nouns into plural nouns, and conjugating -AR verbs. If you need to review this material again, please do so. It is imperative that you remember and understand what you already learned; especially the verbs! Review the Verbo Ser on page 44 (LIBRO) and the Verbo Estar on page 76, if you have any questions, please see me. You can also check the links on these verbs under "Fave" links.

You have learned many question words in previous chapters (qué, cómo, dónde, de dónde, cuál), and you will learn more on this chapter, page 96. You will also learn how to use Indirect Object Pronouns when making introductions (presentaciones) - ME TE LE NOS OS LES (for introductions you only need to use TE LE and LES)You will learn new vocabulary on modes of transportation, page 100; on places to visit in the city (downtown), page 110; and foods and how to order in a restaurant, pages 116 & 117; and the Verbo Ir (to go), which is a very irregular verb that is widely used in Spanish. Also verbos -ER (like comer and beber).

Many of you have asked me what the word "hay" means in Spanish. Please check this video to understand this important Spanish word: HAY (click link) - we use it a lot! Pay special attention to the use of the following question words "cuántos, cuántas y qué" with "hay." 

These are some of the verbs you already know and verbos tener, comer and vivir that you will learn this month and next month. I will give you a handout with these verbs that you MUST keep in your notebooks (cuadernos). Please continue reviewing these verbs and practicing their uses. ¡GRACIAS CHICAS!
