In Unidad 4, you begin learning different words to describe yourself or people in your family.

You use the possessive adjectives:

My OurYourHis TheirHer

Mi madre es…Mis padres son…

Su hermana es…Sus hermanas son…

Nuestra madre es…Nuestros padres son…

Possessive Adjectives

¿Cómo eres tú? ¿Cómo es tú familia? What are you like? What is your family like?

In Unidad 4, you learn lots of new vocabulary (adjectives) to describe yourself and members of your family.

Here are just a few of the words:

alto = tall bajo = shortgordo = fat delgado = skinnygeneroso = generous simpatico = kinddeportista = sporty/athletic antipático = meandesordenado = disorganized rubio = blondmoreno = brunette impaciente = impatientpaciente = patient inteligente = intelligentreservado = shy sociable = sociable

When you are using adjectives to write sentences, there are three questions you need to ask yourself before you begin:

(1) Is the subject you are talking about masculine or feminine?

(2) Is the subject singular (one thing) or plural (more than one thing)?

(3) Does the adjective naturally end in the letter “o?”

Mi padre es alto. Mi madre es alta. Mis hijas son desordenadas.

More Sentences Using Possessive Adjectives and Adjectives…

Mi padre es impaciente. Su hermana es inteligente. Tú padre es paciente.

More than one person using the same adjectives above.

Mis padres son impacientes.Sus hermanas son inteligentes. Nuestros padres son pacientes.

¿Cuántos años tienen los miembros de tú familia?

Remember in Spanish, we don’t say “I am…years old” or “He is … years old.”

We use the verb Tener (to have).

Yo tengo diecinueve años.Mi hermano tiene quince años.

Mi hermano es menor que yo.Yo soy mayor que mi hermano.

¿Cuándo son los cumpleaños de los miembros de tú familia?

un regalo Decorar Romper una piñata

Remember to put the number before the month (opposite from English)

Mi cumpleaños es el trece de julio.

El cumpleaños de mi madre es el vientidos de octubre.

El cumpleaños de mi hermano es el ocho de mayo.

El cumpleaños de mi padre es el primer de diciembre.

Here’s an example of the type of paragraph you should able to comprehend as you work through Unidad 4:

Mi madre se llama Amanda. Mi madre es simpática. Mi madre tiene cuarenta y cinco años. El cumpleaños de mi madre es el tres de mayo. Ella tiene un hermano. Su hermano se llama Mark. Mark es reservado. Él tiene cuarenta años. Mi madre es mayor que su hermano. Mark es mi tío. El cumpleaños de mi tío es el cuatro de abril.La esposa de Mark se llama Mary. Mary es rubia.Mark y Mary tienen una hija se llama Louisa.Louisa es una hija única.Louisa es muy alta y morena.

eLinguafolioRead the directions carefully

when you are updating your eLinguafolio. Be sure to upload examples of what you know and can do. The sentences you speak don’t have to be true. You are simply showing proficiency and ability. You have to take a screenshot of each section and send to your teacher.

To take a screenshot on a PC, you just click the "print screen" button and then paste (Ctrl + V) into a Word/Open Office document. To take a screenshot on a Mac, you click Command + Shift + 3, which will save it as a picture file. Afterward, you'll just need to insert all of these "pictures" into a Word/Open Office document to send/submit to your teacher.

In Unidad 5, you learn how to talk about different activities you like to do

Ir Means To Go

The verb Ir is followed by the word “a”

Contractions are not optional in Spanish

• Remember a contraction is when you put two words together to make a new word –

• I am = I’m Are not = Aren’tI can either say I am or I’m I can either say Are not or Aren’t

I am going to your house. You are not in my group.I’m going to your house. You aren’t in my group.

Ir + a + infinitive

When you use a verb directly after Ir + a, don’t conjugate it. Let’s practice:

I’m going to sing. Yo voy a cantar.

He is going to study. Él va a estudiar.
