During a Spanish lesson, Sol and a learner residing in Elk Grove concentrated on advanced grammar, specifically the correct usage and placement of direct and indirect object pronouns. The learner completed exercises to reinforce understanding of when to use 'se' instead of 'le' or 'les' and how to structure sentences with double object pronouns. Sol suggested reviewing the grammar points and creating a chart to aid comprehension.

Sol and Renee's Spanish lesson centered on reflexive verbs, delving into their conjugation and application in daily routines. They honed their skills by forming sentences with both reflexive and non-reflexive verbs, specifically those related to morning activities. For homework, Sol tasked Renee with continuing sentence construction practice, utilizing the vocabulary and grammar concepts covered, with the aim of completing the activity in their subsequent class.
