First, let\u2019s see if you know what these Spanish verbs mean:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Trabajar<br \/>\n&#8211; Escribir<br \/>\n&#8211; Leer<br \/>\n&#8211; Escuchar<br \/>\n&#8211; Hablar<br \/>\n&#8211; Vivir<br \/>\n&#8211; Comprender<br \/>\n&#8211; Beber<br \/>\n&#8211; Comer<br \/>\n&#8211; Comprar<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, please translate these verbs to Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; To live<br \/>\n&#8211; To listen to<br \/>\n&#8211; To buy<br \/>\n&#8211; To write<br \/>\n&#8211; To speak<br \/>\n&#8211; To understand<br \/>\n&#8211; To read<br \/>\n&#8211; To eat<br \/>\n&#8211; To work<br \/>\n&#8211; To drink<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now, let\u00b4s conjugate some Spanish verbs in the Present Tense. I will say a verb in Spanish and a person (yo, t\u00fa, usted, \u00e9l or ella) and I would like you to conjugate the verb in the correct way for the Present Tense. For example: Comprar \u2013 t\u00fa: Compras<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Beber (yo)<br \/>\n&#8211; Hablar (usted)<br \/>\n&#8211; Escuchar (\u00e9l)<br \/>\n&#8211; Comer (t\u00fa)<br \/>\n&#8211; Vivir (ella)<br \/>\n&#8211; Comprender (usted)<br \/>\n&#8211; Escribir (yo)<br \/>\n&#8211; Trabajar (t\u00fa)<br \/>\n&#8211; Comprar (\u00e9l)<br \/>\n&#8211; Leer (ella)<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. I will now say some verbs which have already been conjugated in the Present Tense and you have to tell me what they mean in English. For example: \u201cHablo\u201d means \u201cI speak\u201d. Keep in mind that some of them could mean more than one thing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Comes<br \/>\n&#8211; Compra<br \/>\n&#8211; Escucho<br \/>\n&#8211; Lees<br \/>\n&#8211; Vive<br \/>\n&#8211; Escribo<br \/>\n&#8211; Bebes<br \/>\n&#8211; Comprendo<br \/>\n&#8211; Habla<br \/>\n&#8211; Trabajas<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Let\u00b4s see now if you understand these Spanish sentences:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00bfEscuchas m\u00fasica pop?<br \/>\n&#8211; No, escucho m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica<br \/>\n&#8211; \u00bfBebe usted vino tinto?<br \/>\n&#8211; No, bebo vino blanco<br \/>\n&#8211; Mar\u00eda come tortilla de patata.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Finally, please try to say the following sentences in Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Do you buy milk? (friendly)<br \/>\n&#8211; Yes, I buy milk.<br \/>\n&#8211; Do you understand? (formal)<br \/>\n&#8211; No, I don\u00b4t understand<br \/>\n&#8211; Pedro works in Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>This is all for today. <\/p>\n<p>In the next practice lesson we will practice more Spanish verb endings in the Spanish Present Tense: those we use for a group of people, to say that \u201cwe\u201d (nosotros) do something, to say that \u201call of you\u201d (vosotros\/ustedes) do something or to say that \u201cthey\u201d (ellos) do something. Make sure you are confident with the endings in this lesson before you watch the next one. We will see more and more verb endings in the future for different tenses and it is important to start memorizing them from the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day y hasta pronto.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly Spanish lessons.
