CAPÍTULO 4 - "The Imperfect Tense" & More

This quarter you will learn how to conjugate regular and irregular verbs in "The Imperfect Tense." Please check the LIBRO pages 152, 153, and 160; and expand your notes. I already gave you the G&V pages 52 and 53 (study these pages for the Quiz you are having on Thursday, February 19, 2015 and the Test, Wednesday, February 25, 2015). For the Test you need to know the irregular verbs and the vocab on pages 156 and 157 "En el zoológico." Add the word "oso" for bear ("el oso," "la osa," "el oso panda," "la osa panda"). Later on you will learn more animals, pages 182 and 183. Workbook page 65 is important!

You will also learn the "Adjectives of Nationality," page 166 (LIBRO), and Special Endings pages 156 and 157. The important thing to remember with the adjetives of nationality is that they change with the subject pronoun (the "o" changes to "a" if the subject pronoun is feminine), except the ones that end with "e."  Examples: Ese chico es colombiano, ¿verdad? La amiga de Susana es guatemalteca. Yo soy costarricense (doesn't change). Please study the verb endings and verbs below and practice with other -AR, -ER and -IR verbs ("The Imperfect Tense"):
