They practiced vocabulary for describing a room and completed an exercise on article selection, with plans to cover the verbs 'ser' and 'estar' in the upcoming session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed the formation of formal Spanish commands, including regular verbs, irregular verbs, and spelling changes. They practiced applying these commands in a practical exercise involving travel scenarios and then worked on understanding and giving directions using a city map, reinforcing relevant vocabulary and prepositions.

The Student and Tutor practiced using the Spanish subjunctive and indicative moods to express doubt, uncertainty, belief, and certainty. They completed sentence-building exercises, described visual scenarios, and formulated opinions on social issues related to animal welfare. The session concluded with a brief mention of a reading assignment for the next class, which will introduce a new topic.

The Student and Tutor reviewed indefinite and definite articles, noun plurals, and the agreement of adjectives with nouns in Spanish. They also explored comprehensive rules for determining noun gender and several exceptions. The Student practiced these concepts through listening comprehension and fill-in-the-blank exercises.

The Student and Tutor reviewed the uses of 'estar' for location and moods, practicing verb conjugations to describe actions in various emotional states. The main focus of the session was the introduction of the present progressive tense in Spanish, covering its formation, primary use for actions in progress, and additional applications for temporary situations, future plans, and complaints. The next class will cover irregular forms and additional exercises for this tense.

The Student and Tutor focused on Spanish formal and 'nosotros' commands (mandatos). They analyzed a flight attendant's speech to identify command verbs and their infinitive forms, then systematically reviewed the rules for forming both affirmative and negative commands, including irregularities and stem changes. The session concluded with a practical exercise where the Student organized travel instructions logically.
