11-12-13 Aim, Do Now, and Class Notes

Aim: How do we conjugate the verbs “ir” and “jugar”?

Do Now: Choose words from each column to create your own sentences (5). Don’t forget to conjugate the verbs in colum 2. Don’t repeat! (except column 3).

Yo                                                 escuchar música                                       los fines de semana

Tú                                                 estudiar                                                        despues de clases

Mi mejor amigo                      trabajar                                                         todos los días

Mis amigos y yo                      hablar por teléfono                                  a veces

Mis amigos                                practicar deportes

Don’t forget: “”no” comes after the subject if you don’t do the activity. Example: Yo no bailo.

Not all verbs follow a pattern when conjugated. These are called irregular verbs. 2 irregular verbs are…

Ir – to go                                                                and                                              Jugar – to play

yo voy                                                                                                                            yo juego

tú vas                                                                                                                              tu juegas

el/ella va                                                                                                                      el/ella juega

nosotros vamos                                                                                                         nosotros jugamos

 ellos/as van                                                                                                               ellos/as juegan

To say, I go to… you need the preposition “a”. Yo voy a… When a is followed by “el” combine the two to form “al“.            (a+el = al).  “a” is also used after jugar with a sport. Yo juego al basketbol.

Examples: Yo voy a la escuela.

Yo voy a el = Yo voy al parque.

Translate the following sentences in your notebooks 🙂

1. I go to the gym. =

2. He plays basketball. =

3. We go to the beach. =

4. They go to work. =

5. I play videogames. =
