Spanish concepts taught by Julisa
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)

Student and Tutor focused on Spanish present tense stem-changing verbs, practicing their conjugation across various forms and translating sentences. The session included a review of vowel pronunciation and the meaning of common verbs.
