You have a test next week, October 14th.  Your homework is to study.  Below is the material you need to know -

Adjectives must agree in gender and singular/plural with the noun they describe.

Noun = casa (house)                     Adjective = rojo (red)

I have a red house = Tengo una casa roja

 

Noun = ojo (eye)    Adjective = negro (black)

I have two black eyes = Tengo dos ojos negros

For your test:  Study “The, a and some” for each gender, singular and plural.   Know how to change adjectives to match the noun being described.

8th Grade: (homework assignment #5)

You need to conjugate 3 verbs that end in "AR" for plural pronouns.  Here is the chart we did in class, which also matches your handout:

Nosotras = (we ,f)

Tú ( you familiar) = necesitas

 

Vosotros = (you all ,m) SPAIN only = necesitais

Vosotras =  (you all ,f) SPAIN only

Usted (you formal)

Él = (he)                   =  necesita

Ella = (she)

Ustedes (uds.) = (You all)

Ellos = (they ,m)                        = necesitan

Ellas = (they ,f)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other verbs  you might want to try are: hablar (to speak) cantar (to sing) caminar (to walk).

Progress reports were handed out. If you like your grade, get your report signed and return it.  If you don't like your grade, you may hand in missing work or fix poorly done work and hand it in October 14th. I will give you an updated progress report to have signed.

Necesito = I need  (replace the AR with an O)

Necesita = he / she needs  (replace the AR with an A)

Necesita = you need  (replace the AR with an A)
