Practicar para exmen IIGustar and similar verbs, plus indirect object pronouns and the personal a:

The best way to make sure youre correct is to write out the sentence and then read it from right toleft [so what is reacted to starts the sentence, will be what influences the verb, and the person reacting, inthe form of an indirect object pronoun, will be last in the sentence.] Me molestan los insectos [Insects bother meLos insectos are plural, so is molestan. And theybother me, the end result].

Mix and match, making logical combinations of people, their corresponding pronouns, an appropriate andlogical verb, and a subject [that will determine the verb form].

Los verbos reflexivos: whoever does the action also receives it. Take the pronoun off [me te se nos se], it before the verb, and then conjugate the verb. Many of the reflexive verbs have to do with daily routinesIn English its assumed that you do these actions all by yourself; Spanish stresses the fact that no one else isinvolved by use of the reflexive pronoun.Qu pasa en las escenas? Write a full sentence explaining what is going on [a full sentence in this casemight have 2 or 3 words!]These are the basic reflexive verbs [they most likely will NOT be given to you on the test!] We haventcovered all of the actions in the scenes, but Im listing the verbs anyway.

El pretrito: Weve now covered:1. the AR verbs, regular and irregular [ aste amos aron; the 3 categories with an irregular yo form [-carqu; -gar gu; -zar c]2. the ER/IR verbs, regular and irregular [ iste i imos ieron], and the verbs with double vowels in theinfinite that change iy in the l/ellos forms [caer, leer, creer, or]3. the regularly irregular verbs, which have their own set of endings [e iste o imos ieron/jeron] regardleof whether they are AR ER or IR verbs. They have a spelling change in the root [after you drop off the

AR/ER/IR] to which you apply the ending. They have to be memorizedno other way around it.There are categories that might help with the memorization:

1. verbs that pick up a UV [estarestuv tenertuv]2. verbs that pick up a U [ponerpus poderpud sabersup *found out]3. verbs that pick up an I [hacerhic *hizo venirvin quererquis]4. verbs that pick up a J [and lose the i in the l and ellos forms] [decirdij traertraj conduc

conduj traducirtraduj ]I might ask you to describe a scene: Qu pas? Qu hicieron los nios?

Write a sentence for eachscene. #6 and 9 maynot have a reflexive verb[or at least I cant thinkof one right now. Youcan say El se come eldesayuno in the sensethat He feeds himselfbreakfast NEVER usecomerse without a foodor meal afterwards!!!].
