- Ángela compró unos juguetes para Gerardo.- "Ángela bought some toys for Gerardo."
- Ángela los compró.- "Ángela bought them."
- Ángela le compró unos juguetes.- "Ángela bought him some toys."
- He gives his sister the toy. He gives it to her. → Él le da el juguete a su hermana. Él se lo da.

- Él me lo dijo.- "He told (it to) me."
- Trini te lo regaló.- "Trini gave it to you (as a gift)."
- le (him) → se (him)

You are likely familiar with the verbs “ser” and “estar.” Because both words translate to mean “is, am” or “are,” sometimes it is difficult to tell when to use which verb. SEE BELOW FOR MORE ABOUT SER and ESTAR When describing foods, it is appropriate to use both ser and estar. However, to use them correctly, keep this simple rule in mind. When describing the characteristics of the food, use “ser.” When describing the condition of the food, use “estar.” Here is a simple way to distinguish between the two verbs. Ejemplos:
- La salsa es muy picante.
- La salsa está muy picante.
For a video review of adjective agreements, please PRESS HERE Make sure your are signed into your CCA Microsoft account (email is login name for edio with @ccastudents.me and password to get into your edio account) Remember: adjectives have to agree in gender and number in Spanish. They usually follow the noun. Examples: Elena es una chica simpática. Elena is a nice girl. Ellos son ordenados. Ellas son ordenadas. HERE IS AN INFOGRAPHIC THAT REVIEWS THIS GRAMMAR CONCEPT. PRESS HERE.
For practice with verbs like GUSTAR, PRESS HERE. For a video review of Gustar, PRESS HERE
- The subject in a sentence with gustar or encantar usually FOLLOWS the verb.
- If the subject is singular, use the singular form gusta or encanta.
- If the subject is plural, use the plural form gustan or encantan.
- doler: Me duele la cabeza. Me duelen las manos.

The topics below in light yellow are for your reference as you work on improving your Spanish in this unit.
There are three verb moods in English and Spanish grammar: the indicative, the imperative, and the subjunctive.
- Indicative: Most of the verb forms that you learned in Spanish 1 and 2 were in the indicative forms. These include present, present progressive, preterite, and imperfect conjugations.
- Imperative: The formal and informal commands that you learned in Unit 3 and are learning in Unit 4 make up the imperative mood.
- Subjunctive: The subjunctive mood is used for expressing wishes, suggestions, doubts, desires, and more. It is used occasionally in English, but quite often in Spanish.
The future tense is frequently combined with si (if) and the present tense to talk about what someone will do in a situation that could very well happen. si + (present tense), (future tense).
- Si consigo el trabajo, trabajaré duro. – "If I get the job, I will work hard."
- Si Darius estudia medicina, será médico. – "If Darius studies medicine, he will be a doctor."
- Si me ofrecen un salario bajo, no aceptaré el puesto. – "If they offer me a low salary, I will not take the position."
Vowels The vowel sounds remain the same everywhere, and there are no “silent” vowels. Spanish vowel sounds are sharp and focused. Keep your mouth and tongue still while making these sounds. I - ee [like the /ee/ in feet] E – ay [like the /ay/ in hay] A – ahh [like the /a/ in father] O – oh [like the /oh/ in donut] U – oo [like the /oo/ in boot] PRESS HERE for an audio recording of these vowel sounds; Press here to go to a website with more examples of vowel sounds and words with vowels If you say them in this order (i, e, a, o, u), your mouth will move from the widest opening to the narrowest, as in the image below. Special note on gü: When you see the two dots above the u, the u vowel sound will be similar to /w/ in wet. The two dots are called a dieresis. The resulting sound will be a diphthong. For example, bilingüe. This is the same sound as when the vowel “a” follows gu (example: guapo). Watch a video for more information: PRESS HERE Consonants Many consonants make the same sounds in Spanish as they do in English! There are some exceptions: C – after the letters a, o, u → /k/ like cat; example: carrito C –after the letters e, i → /s/ like say, see; example: cierto G – after the letters a, o, u → /g/ like gum; example: despegar; guitarra G – after the letters e, i → /h/ like hay or hee; girar H – silent; example: horario LL – like the /y/ in yellow; example: apellido Ñ - like the /ny/ in canyon; example: mañana V – like /b/ in box; example: volar Z – like /s/ in some (except in Spain, then it’s like /th/); example: zorro (Spanish accent: zorro) Qu – like /k/ in cat; example: quiero, queso J – like /h/ in hello; example: joven
The preterite tense is used to talk about completed actions, actions done a specific number of times, or actions within a specific time frame.
- Compré una correa nueva anoche. - "I bought a new leash last night."
- Vashti y yo patinamos sobre hielo tres veces el mes pasado. - "Vashti and I ice-skated three times last month."
The imperfect tense is used to talk about background events in a story, something people used to do as a matter of habit, weather, and describing things in the past.
- Mi madre cocinaba mientras yo jugaba un juego de mesa. - "My mother was cooking while I was playing a board game."
- De niña, ellas practicaban los deportes todos los días. - "As a child, she played sports every day."
Press here for Reference Sheet for Preterite and Imperfect. Genially Quiz with Preterite and Imperfect Questions (press here) Palabras importantes para el imperfecto Ejemplo Mientras – while → This can be used to show two actions that are occurring simultaneously in the past Mi madre cocinaba mientras yo leía una revista. “My mother was cooking while I was reading a magazine.” Siempre – always → The word siempre indicates a habitual action, or one that was repeated in the past. Yo siempre hacía la tarea antes de jugar afuera. “I always used to do my homerowk before playing outside.” Todos los veranos/otoños/días/meses/años, etc. - every summer/fall/day/month/year, etc. → The words todos, “all” or “every” indicates an action that was repeated Mi familia y yo íbamos a la playa todos los veranos. “My family and I used to go to the beach every summer.” De niña, ella practicaba el piano todos los días. “As a child, she practiced the piano every day.” Palabras importantes para el pretérito Ejemplo Ayer – yesterday Ayer yo visité a mi bisabuelo en el hospital. “Yesterday I visited my great grandfather in the hospital.” Anoche – last night Anoche ellos preparon la cena. “Yesterday they prepared dinner.” Anteayer – the day before yesterday Mi hermano compró un camión anteayer. “My brother bought a truck the day before yesterday.” el fin de semana pasada/la semana pasada - last weekend, last week Los estudiantes aprendieron muchas cosas nuevas la semana pasada. – "The students learned many new things last week." de repente- suddenly This is used to signal a change or contrast (also a beginning). Ella se despertó de repente. – "She suddenly woke up." en seguida- at once, right away, immediately Sonó el despertador, y en seguida, el bebé empezó a llorar. – "The alarm went off and at once, the baby began to cry." por fin, finalmente- finally Por fin, papá llegó a casa. – "Finally, Dad arrived home." You can use both tenses to talk about something that happened (preterite) while something else was going on in the background or to describe the background (imperfect). Review the following examples:
- Nos hicimos amigos cuando éramos jóvenes. – "We became friends when we were young."
- Explicación: The preterite is used to say that you became friends, while the imperfect is used to say that you were young.
- Cuando mis padres llegaron a casa, yo escuchaba música.– "When my parents arrived home, I was listening to music."
- Explicación: The act of listening to music was interrupted by the parents who entered the house. The imperfect is always used with interrupted actions.

- Explicación: The various acts of Carmen and her dog are occurring simultaneously. They may be seen as descriptive or photographic, and therefore require the imperfect tense.
- Ayer no salimos de la casa porque hacía mucho frío y había hielo en las calles.- "Yesterday we did not leave the house because it was very cold and there was ice in the streets."
- Explicación: The action, salir, is in the preterite and is set against background information, which is described using the imperfect.
The conditional is used to talk about probabilities and hypothetical situations. You may have used it in the past to make polite requests. Ejemplos del condicional:
- Me gustaría... – "I would like..."
- Querría... – "I would want..."
- to indicate probability, possibility, and conjecture
- to make polite or formal requests
- with "if" (si) clauses and the imperfect subjunctive to express unlikely events (do not worry too much about this one for now)
- Si la herida de Dillon fuera grave, le pondrían puntos.
- "If Dillon's wound were [imperfect subjunctive] severe, they would give [conditional] him stitches."
- start with the infinitive form of the verb (do NOT remove the ending)
- add on -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, or -ían.
