Hoy en Clase (Spanish, Weds Oct 21)

Test retakes will be today and tomorrow at 3:45pm.

We took notes on a new verb: QUERER - to want
Querer is regular as far as the endings go, but it's an (e --> ie) stem changer.


Yo quiero
quieres
él, ella, usted quiere
nosotros queremos (no stem change here!)
Ellos, ellas, ustedes quieren

We call these "boot verbs" since when we write them in a regular conjugation chart, the forms with the stem change make the shape of a boot (click here for a better visual).  The nosotros form never changes stem.



Then for our assignment, we did:
In notes: p 82 and 83 copy and translate every word
Separate paper (to turn in for a grade): p 84, act 2,3,4,5 answers only
