Spanish lessons with a UCES tutor focused on conversation, culture, and personal growth

The Student and Tutor reviewed the Spanish preterite and imperfect tenses, focusing on irregular verbs like 'dar' and 'ver', and their application in describing past scenes versus recounting completed actions. They practiced forming questions and describing a party using these tenses, with a plan to learn new uses of these tenses in the next session.

The tutor and student reviewed Spanish vocabulary for family members and relationships, practicing sentence construction with possessives and prepositions. They completed an exercise filling in a family tree based on an audio recording and discussed future topics like possessive adjectives and adjective placement.

The student and tutor reviewed the distinction between the Spanish preterite and imperfect tenses, focusing on their use for descriptions and main actions. The student practiced formulating questions that would require the use of these tenses, with plans to apply this to describing a past event.

The student and tutor reviewed the usage of Spanish relative pronouns like 'que' and 'quien' as sentence connectors. They practiced identifying the correct pronoun based on context and applied these rules through exercises, with plans to continue practicing next session.

The Tutor and Student reviewed and practiced the Spanish 'futuro simple' tense through various exercises, including verb conjugation, sentence formation, and making/responding to predictions. They focused on irregularities and application in contexts like environmentalism and future scenarios. The next class will continue with more categories and activities related to future predictions.

The session involved a review of the Spanish imperfecto and preterito tenses, with the student practicing their application in descriptive and narrative contexts. They worked through exercises to distinguish between setting a scene using the imperfecto and recounting sequential events using the preterito, with a plan to continue with description exercises in the next class.
