Review (repaso)

A note on reviewing material.

Reviewing vocabulary, questions, etc. from previous lessons can be done in many ways. Here are a few of my favorites:

(1) Translate the spoken vocab word or phrase - Traduzca los siguientes palabras o oraciones. Teacher reads the word in either Spanish or English and the student must translate it orally.

(2) Conjugate verbs given a subject and a tense - Conjugue los siguientes verbos en la forma correcta. Teacher writes verbs down the board and across the top puts a header with the different tenses - present (presente), past (pasado), future (futuro), present progressive (presente progressivo) forming a grid or table.

(3) Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb in the correct tense and/or translate the word in the blank. - Compete las oraciones con el verbo correcto. Also done on the board with blanks left out as underlines.

(4) Write a sentence using the verb 'to live', for example, in present tense (positive sentence), 'to work' in present progressive (negative sentence), 'to walk' in past tense (positive sentence), 'to be' in present tense using an emotion word, 'to talk' in future tense (a question), etc. - Forme oraciones usando las siguientes palabras... el verbo 'to live' en presente (oracion positivo), 'to work' en presente progressivo (oracion negativo), 'to walk' en pasado (oracion negativo), 'to be' en presente usando una emoción, 'to talk' en futuro (una pregunta), etc.
