¡¡¡Bienvenido!!!

Hola: This is a simple-web based interactive space. You will post examples and a brief explanation of your pre-assigned ESTRUCTURA(S). In this post, you will describe what the estructura means, and you will provide and explain at least two examples of this estructura. In order to make an interesting and creative posting, you will make use of simple words, and if possible combine English and Spanish in your posting.
As time goes by, we are becoming aware of the intersection of languages and cultures when we are leaning and acquiring Spanish in Kentucky, the US and the Spanish-speaking worlds here and there. In this blog, you will find postings from different students groups (from beginners to advanced students at our academic and cultural communities in Kentucky). You will find how students interepret and make sense of the estructruras, an important dimension, of their communicative competence. Feel free to post a comment, whether you are a student, or a visitor to this blog.
Gracias!!!

  1. In order to stem change a verb, you must change the last two letters of one of the verbs, either with singular forms or with plural forms.
    Here's an example:
    volver:
    yo: volvo nosotros/as: volvemos
    tu: volves vosotros/as: volveis
    ud./el/ella: volve uds/ellos/ellas: vuelven
    hablar:
    hablo hablamos
    hablas hablais
    habla hablan

  2. Preterite of Ser and Ir. Leccion 7.3

    Singular Forms.
    Ser ir
    Yo Fui fui
    tu fuiste fuiste
    Ud.
    Ellos
    Ella Fue Fue

    Plural Forms
    Ser Ir
    Nosortos/as Fuimos Fuimos
    Vosotros Fuisteis Fuisteis
    Uds./ellos
    Ellas Fueron Fueron

    Since the forms of Ser and Ir are identical,context clarifies which of the two verbs is being used.
