Think about how you learn in the Spanish classroom versus how you learn in the English classroom. Write five sentences comparing and contrasting the classroom furniture and objects you use in each class. Use key verbs and phrases such as: usar (use), hay (there is/there are), en (in), para (for), and pero (but) to help you write your sentences. Each sentence must have at least one vocabulary word from this module (bold the vocabulary word).

Example:

En la clase de ingles usamos libros de vocabulario, pero en la clase de español usamos computadoras para vocabulario.

Ifuera, compañero nuestro! alejandro, un estudiante de intercambio de españa, se muda (is moving) de su casa porque ya no se lleva bien (get along well) con sus compañeros. rellena los espacios en blanco con el adjetivo posesivo apropiado para saber como dividen las cosas entre ellos.

Select the command form that correctly completes this conversation. lupe: ¿quieres ir al cine? alex: sí, pero primero, tu tarea.

Now that you have worked through a lot of material that includes these basic patterns, and you have compared grammatically correct and incorrect sentences, write down what you think is a rule that could explain what makes a sentence grammatically correct or not. for example, you might write something like: "verbs always match nouns in number, and they usually come before the noun." in other words, make your best guess for the grammar rule that makes sense out of the pattern(s) you see in the phrases you have been working with. review if you need to, and you might briefly check your hunches against the sentences you have been working with in this or previous modules. keep in mind that what you're after is your hunch, not a grammar rule from a text book. now check your hunch with the explanation of this principle in the following pattern.
