Spanish concepts taught by Julisa

Student learned 2 days ago

The Tutor and Student began by clarifying the difference between tenses and moods in Spanish grammar. They then proceeded to review and practice conjugating the verb 'ir' (to go) in various tenses, including Present, Preterite, Imperfect, Conditional, Future, and Present Perfect, using example sentences to apply these concepts and identify context clues. The Student indicated that they needed to focus more on foundational Level 1 Spanish, specifically sentence structure and writing, and the Tutor agreed to tailor future lessons to these areas. Homework was assigned, consisting of practice sentences for conjugation.

Spanish Tenses and Moods: The Foundation

Conjugating 'Ir' (To Go) in the Present Tense

Past Actions: Preterite vs. Imperfect Tenses

Conditional Tense: 'Would Go' Based on 'Si' (If)

Future Tense: 'Will Go' and Future Time Clues

Differentiating 'Ustedes' (Uds.) vs. 'Ellos/Ellas'
