Spanish II:

1. We did a worksheet focusing on understanding the whole sentence, then recognizing if we can change the noun in the sentence to either, (lo, la=it, him, her, or los, las = them).

Example:

LaFawduh tiene un carro.
LaFawduh has a car.

What does she have?

A car.

Can I change that to (it, him, her, or them) and have it still make sense?

Yes, I can say...

LaFawnduh has it.




Now that I know that I will replace "car" with "it" I know it will be either lo, la.

Let's look at the Spanish word. Un carro. I want to know if the item is masculine, feminine, singular, or plural. I do this by looking at both "un" and "carro" They are both masculine and singular, so the "it" I will chose will be masculine and singular as well. Lo is our choice.

Now we worry about syntax.

Lawfawnduh it she has...is how we would word it in English using Spanish syntax.

LaFawnduh lo tiene. Is the final answer.

If you were gone you need to take notes from above and write them on the notes portion of the homework makeup form. You will then pick up the worksheet and complete it.

Special worksheet instructions:

1. Read the whole sentence and use a dictionary or google translate to figure out words you don't know.
2. Decide if you can change the bolded words to (it, him, her, or them).
3. Decide which form of that word you would use (lo, la, los, las)
4. Write that word in the small line right beside the sentence.
5. In the long lines below, rewrite each sentence, leaving out the bolded words and replacing it with the (lo, la, los, las).
6. Remember syntax. The lo, la, los, or las will alway go directly infront of the verb.

Spanish III/IV:

1. Same as yesterday.

If you were gone you need to create ten more sentences of your own using command an vocabulary.
