We are at the last hurdle of the year :).  Testing begins this week.

Disclaimer: ALL students are responsible for work missed due to testing.  Testing is considered as if they were absent/field trip so assignments will need to be made up. If a quiz or test was missed, they are expected to attend the Monday morning tutoring following the day they missed.  They will ONLY have 1 week to turn in work missed.  Assignments have been placed on gradebook ahead of time with this purpose!!!

SO8 

Please check the gradebook for upcoming assignments.  I have placed the whole month of April in the grade book so you know what assignments are coming up.  Try not to miss because we will be busy.  There is a HW assignment on the portal due the 19th of April by 9:59 PM NO Later.  Please remember the portal sometimes gives you problems uploading, make sure you give yourself time for such circumstances.  I will NOT accept the assignment late, no matter the circumstances since you had 13 days to do the assignment.
There are upcoming tests as well.  If you miss the movie you will have an alternate assignment as you did for WalkOut.

There will be no surprises for those of you that do not read the weekly schedule in class, it is in the gradebook.

This week we will continue with the geography of Spain and continue reading El Sueño de Otto.  We will also be reviewing the vocabulary with Otto.  We will continue our readings of Bilbao, San Sebastián, Fiestas de Rosario, etc.  These articles will be interlaced with Otto in the next few weeks.  There will be questions associated with each assignment and/or chapters of Otto. You will also have assignments with the formal (plural) commands this week.   Check the gradebook, it has upcoming assignments.

LOS MANDATOS

Commands are a part of everyday life.  How we make commands in Spanish depends upon whom we are speaking to.  Let’s start with informal commands first.  These are the types of commands we give to friends and family.

Informal commands (affirmative)

These are very simple to form.  Just take the infinitive form and drop the –r (for –ar and –er) drop the –ir for (-ir verbs) and change it to an -e.

(This is the same thing as just using the _ él/ella/ud. __ form if that’s easier for you.)

Informal commands (negative)

Begin by placing a NO in front of the verb before you conjugate the verb.

To make a negative tú command, start with the yo form of the verb, drop the -o, and add the appropriate ending.

Opposite endings means that verbs which end in –ar, won’t take the –as ending  but instead will take the  -es ending.

Verbs which end in –er or –ir won’t take the –es ending but instead take the -as ending.

Práctica:

1. cantar +    canta

2. mirar +     mira

3. beber -       no bebas

4. escuchar + escucha

5. hablar -      no hables

6. escribir -     no escribas

7. comer +      come

8. salir -          no salgas

9. hacer -        no hagas

10 perder -     no pierdas

Don’t forget the –car, -car, -zar verbs!

Remember that when we make negative commands from a verb that ends in –car, -gar, or –zar, we make some spelling changes to keep the original sound.  You remember this!

For verbs that end in –car, the c changes to qu and then we add the opposite ending which will always be -es since these are –ar verbs!  For verbs that end in –gar, the g changes to gu, and for verbs that end in –zar, the z changes to a c.

Práctica:

11. buscar     no busques

12. pagar      no pagues

13.  empezar no empieces

14. tocar        no toques

What about the irregular affirmative commands?

These are the verbs that are used over and over again as they have been shortened down through the centuries.  They’re pretty easy to remember since they are almost all –go verbs.

poner _pon

tener  ten                *Say Vin Diesel has ten weapons.

venir ven

salir   sal                  sé ven di sal haz ten vé pon

hacer haz

decir  di

ir       ve

ser     sé

Negative commands with ir and ser

As you might imagine, ir and ser are almost always irregular!  This is true for them as negative commands too!

ir becomes no vayas

ser becomes no seas

What are the negative forms of these commands?  (Hint:  They are regular as negative commands.  Just follow the rules to make negative commands!)

poner              no pongas

tener               no tengas

venir               no vengas

salir                no salgas

hacer              no hagas

decir               no dogas
