The Student and Tutor discussed Spanish meal traditions and cultural food items, with a particular focus on "la merienda." The main academic content revolved around the conjugation and diverse uses of the irregular verb "tener" for expressing possession, age, and conditions. As homework, the Student needs to formulate eight questions using "tener" and describe three family members or friends, incorporating age, possessions, and physical descriptions.

The Tutor and Student practiced using the Spanish verb *estar* for location and emotions, followed by a review of location prepositions with buildings. They then introduced and began practicing conjugations of irregular verbs with vowel changes (E>IE, E>I, O>UE), noting the exception for *nosotros/nosotras*. Homework was assigned to conjugate two verbs from each irregular verb list.

The Student and Tutor reviewed Spanish irregular verbs with vowel changes and practiced using them in phrases. They clarified grammatical structures involving prepositions between verbs and discussed polite ways to make requests. The session concluded by introducing new vocabulary related to Spanish meal times and dining culture, with the Student preparing to answer questions about their daily meals for follow-up practice.

The Student and Tutor practiced distinguishing between the Preterite and Imperfect tenses in Spanish through various sentence completion exercises. They analyzed sentence contexts to decide which past tense was appropriate, focusing on completed actions versus ongoing or habitual events. For homework, the Student was assigned additional exercises focusing on mixing these tenses, particularly in narratives about past trips or experiences.

The Student and Tutor reviewed homework involving the imperfect tense in Spanish, practicing its use for past routines, descriptions, and ongoing actions. They discussed various applications through conversational examples and planned to begin mixing the imperfect and preterite tenses in the next lesson.

The Student and Tutor reviewed Spanish reflexive verbs, practicing their conjugation in the context of daily routines. The session then introduced irregular verbs, focusing on vowel-changing patterns and their conjugations, including common exceptions. Homework was assigned to practice these irregular verbs through matching exercises and sentence creation.
