Spanish I Final
Review Sheet
Students should know
the following:
1. fake future/ this is the conjugated form of the verb ir in the present tense + a + infinitive to indicate an action that will take place in the immediate future. Students have been doing this construction all year. They have had quizzes, tests, and the midterm that included this concept.
Examples: Yo voy a
estudiar para el examen de español.
Ustedes van a
escuchar la música.
Etc.
To review with the students, have them make sentences with fake future.
2. Adverbial phrases w/ fake future. In order to use fake future, it is helpful to
know adverbial phrases that will compliment this construction. For example, in pt. 1 I said,
Yo voy a estudiar
para el examen de español. Now I can add, La semana próxima,
yo voy a estudiar el español.
Some useful phrases are, la semana próxima, el año próximo, el mes próximo,
mañana, mañana por la mañana, mañana por la tarde, mañana por la noche,
etc.
HINT: be sure that students
understand that próximo means next and should not be
confused with pasado.
Also, próximo/ a should
agree with the noun that it follows.
3. Conjugated verbs with infinitives:.There is a section where students have to work with sentences that use the conjugated verb combined with an infinitive.
Fake future is a good example because Yo voy (conjugated form of ir) + a + estudiar (infinitive). Some other expressions we learned that combine conjugated verbs with infinitives are: (need to, want to, has/have to, feels like, plans to)
So… students could practice making sentences like…
I feel like drinking
a coffee. Tengo ganas de tomar un
café.
We need to study
math. Necesitamos estudiar matemáticas.
Carlos wants to match t.v. Carlos quiere mirar la televisión.
You have to go to
school tomorrow. Tú tienes que ir a la escuela mañana.
They plan to go the
movies. Ellos piensan ir al cine.
4. Descriptions: Students should know about agreement and placement of adjectives. Descriptive adjectives should agree in number and gender with the nouns they modify.
Students will be asked on the final exam to describe a number of famous people. They obviously will not be the ones listed below, but these will make for fun examples.
Donald Trump:
Miley Syrus:
Enrique Iglesias
Luciano Pavorati
5. Tener + que + infinitive in preterite. Students should know how to do this for present tense and have also worked with it in the preterite. The way to express something that one had to do in the past requires the use of the verb tener conjugated in the preterite, + the word que (which really has no translation in English) + an infinitive. So if I want to say that I had to study, in Spanish I would say Yo tuve que estudiar. Have students practice with different subjects making up different things that different people had to do.
Nosotros…
Ellos:
María
Juan y Jorge:
6. Adverbial phrases for preterite. Now have the students work with the adverbial
phrases that are used for the preterite. Be sure that
they distinguish between the ones they needed to know to do fake future. For preterite some
adverbial phrases are as follows:
Anteayer, ayer, ayer por la mañana, ayer por la tarde, anoche, la semana pasada, el mes pasado, el año pasado, el domingo pasado, el jueves pasado…etc. There is a pretty nice list in a box in p.320 in their textbooks.
Have students add some of these with part 5, example Yo tuve que estudiar anoche.
7. Regular preterite for AR/ ER and IR verbs. The endings for regular AR verbs in the preterite are é, aste, ó, amos, asteis, aron/ and regular ER and IR verbs share the endings: í, iste, ió, imos, isteis, ieron. Have students practice conjugating and making sentences using the preterite of several regular verbs with various subjects.
Example: yo/ mirar/ película: Yo miré una película.
Tú/ escuchar
música: Tú escuchaste música.
Ellos/ escribir
una carta. Ellos escribieron una carta.
Maybe you can practice with some of the following verbs: recibir, escribir, beber, comprender, comprar, hablar, vivir, …All of these are regular. Be sure to tell kids not to confuse the AR endings with those endings used in regular ER/ IR verbs.
8. CAR/ GAR in the preterite: These are also like regular AR verbs in that they use the regular ar endings: é, aste, ó, amos, asteis, aron but in the yo form for CAR verbs to keep the hard C sound, you change the c to qu. Buscar: busqué, buscaste, buscó, buscamos, buscasteis, buscaron/ atacar: ataqué, atacaste, atacó, atacamos, atacasteis, atacaron. Have students practice with the following verbs that also follow this pattern: sacar, tocar, practicar, aplicar.
For GAR verbs in order to maintain the hard g sound, a u is placed between the g of the stem and the é in the yo form ending. All of the other persons are completely normal.
JUGAR: jugué, jugaste, jugó, jugamos, jugasteis, jugaron.
Have students practice with the following verbs: pagar, apagar, cargar
9. Irregular verbs: IR, ANDAR, TENER, ESTAR, HACER. Students should know how to conjugate these verbs in the present and preterite tenses. (andar is actually regular in the present tense, but irregular in the preterite)
10. ¿Para qué? For purpose. Students learned to answer a series of questions involving “para qué”
Students will have to answer questions such as:
¿Para qué fuiste al museo? Fui
al museo para mirar el arte.
Have students answer a number of questions like…
¿Para qué fue
Pablo al concierto? Pablo fue al
concierto para escuchar música.
¿Para qué fuiste
tú a la escuela? Fui a la escuela para
aprender.
Students should remember that all questions asked in the tú or usted form have to be answered in the “yo” form. All questions asked in the vosotros or ustedes forms have to be answered in the “nosotros” form.
11. There will be a reading/ with a picture in which the students should be able to gleam information. The questions for the reading will be in English and their answers should also be in English.
12. Hace + length of time + que + preterite. Example: Hace 3 meses que yo comí en un restaurante mexicano. This literally means It makes 3 months that I ate in a Mexican restaurante. Obviously this is not the way you would say this expression in English. You would say It has been three months since I ate in a Mexican restaurant.
Question: ¿Cuánto+ hace +que+ verb in preterite? This is the way to ask how long it has been since someone has done something. So the question that we answered above in bold would be… ¿Cuánto hace que comiste en un restaurante? Literally it translates… How much does it make that you ate in a Mexican restaurant? Students should know how to answer questions that use the construction cuánto hace. They should remember that when the question is asked using the tú or usted form, they answer with the “yo” form of the verb in the preterite for this construction. They should also remember that when the question in asked using the vosotros or ustedes forms of the verb, they must answer using the “nosotros” form of the verb.

I. Caratteristiche personali- These are the adjectives to describe people. Usually they go after the noun the describe, but in some cases they precede. You will find lists of adjectives on pp. 110, 111, (nationalities p.113). You will also find a list of adjectives that usually precede the nouns they describe on p.115 (purple box).
A.

before the singular noun. See
p.116.
B. Remember also that you must learn
the irregular forms of
II. Presente dei verbi regolari in IRE. Remember that there are two sets of verbs for IRE.
The endings are basically the same, but the one set has the isc between the stem and ending. The sets belong to two categories then. The first conjugate like dormire: so,
Io dormo, tu
dormi, lui/lei/ Lei dorme, noi dormiamo,
voi dormite, loro dormono
The other category comprise the verbs that have “isc” between the stem and the ending: so, capire= io capisco, tu capisci, lui/lei/Lei capisce, noi capiamo, voi capite, loro capiscono. This is introduced on p.117, and then there is a list of verbs of each category on p. 118.
III.
IRREGULAR VERBS IN THE PRESENT TENSE. There are several of these in the chapters between 5-8. On p.120= andare e venire. P. 145, bere, dire e uscire. P.184, dovere,
potere, volere.
IV. Espressioni di tempo al passato: they include espressioni con ieri, espressioni con scorso,
espressioni con fa. See green box on p. 134.
V. Passato prossimo con avere. This is the past tense that uses a conjugated form of the verb avere in the present tense and the past participle. (the past participle does not need to agree with the subject here)
VI. Passato prossimo con essere. This is the past tense that uses a conjugated form of the verb essere with a past participle. Remember that when you use passato prossimo with essere the past participle must agree with the subject. On p.140 is a list of verbs that take essere in the passato prossimo.

Remember now that when you replace the direct object with the direct object pronoun in the passato prossimo you must now make the past participle agree with the replaced direct object. So… Trovo le chiavi. (I find the keys) is in the present tense, so you just say Le trovo. :BUT… in passato prossimo, you now must change Ho trovato le chiavi to L’ho trovate.
