Lesson 7 - Los Sustantivos Rules for singular versus plural: If a noun ends in a vowel, simply add -s. (ex. carro/carros) If a noun ends in a consonant, simply add -es. (ex. borrador/borradores) If a noun ends in a -z, change the z to c before adding -es. (ex. lápiz/lápices) If a noun ends in ión, drop the written accent before adding -es. (ex. canción/canciones) If the plural refers to a mixed group, use the masculine. (ex. 5 niñas + 2 niños = los niños)
Lesson 8 - Los verbos There are 3 types of verbs in Spanish: AR, ER, and IR. The most common are AR verbs. Below is a guide for AR verb conjugation.
Lesson 9 - Vocabulary Our focus for 6th grade was to build verb vocabulary. The main focus was AR verbs. What they mean and how to conjugate them. Common AR verbs are listed below. Hablar (ah-blar) means 'to talk.' Remember that the H is silent. It's like it's not even there. Estudiar (es-too-dee-ar) means 'to study.' There are several vowels in this one. Remember to say them all, each as a syllable. It's also a cognate, sort of. You can almost see the word 'study' in there. Tocar (toe-car) means 'to play an instrument.' Remember the C in this one is a hard C sound because it is followed by A. Bailar (bah-ee-lar) means 'to dance.' Notice the A and I together here. Make sure to hit both of them. Usar (oo-sar) means 'to use.' Another cognate! Practicar (prahk-tee-car) means 'to practice.' A definite cognate here. Almost the same word in both languages, when written. Enseñar (en-sen-i-ar) means 'to teach.' Dibujar (dee-boo-har) means 'to draw.' Let's use alliteration to remember this one. Draw begins with D; dibujarbegins with D. Caminar (cahm-ee-nar) means 'to walk.' Cantar (cahn-tar) means 'to sing.' And have you ever heard of a cantata? That same root is in cantar. Escuchar (es-koo-char) means 'to listen.' Comprar (cohm-prar) means 'to buy' or 'to shop.'
Lesson 10 - Prayers Middle school students should know both the Our Father and Hail Mary in Spanish. They will be tested on memorization, pronunciation, and fluency. Ave Maria Padre Nuestro Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu Nombre; venga a nosotros tu Reino; hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día; perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden; no nos dejes caer en la tentación, y líbranos del mal. Amén. Dios te salve, Maria. Llena eres de gracia: El Seńor es contigo. Bendita tú eres entre todas las mujeres. Y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre: Jesús. Santa María, Madre de Dios, ruega por nosotros pecadores, ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amén.
