If you have been here before and know where you want to go, select from the following options. If you are new here, start at the beginning and scroll through the lesson. Click on the back button to return to the top. |

|
As you study lección 4, you will also want to review materials from the
first three lessons. On the lesson 4 exam, I will expect you to be able to
translate a selection of questions and answers from English into Spanish. You
will find the English and Spanish through the links below. |
|
Study the lección 4 story summary using the Historia (Spanish and
English versions), noting and emphasizing new vocabulary and constructions.
The story summary will be discussed in class, but if you miss that class or
need extra copies, go to the links below. Remember that anything in the story
summary could appear on the Spanish to English section of the exam. |
|
We will also have, of course, questions over the lección 3 story line.
Your exam questions will be taken from the following, which you will find
here in various formats. Lección 4 -- Questions in English Lección 4 -- Questions and answers in English |
|
There are a few exercises in the text than can be useful for practicing the story line materials. Below, you will find discussions of these exercises and links to the answers and English translations. I will provide the English equivalent of the Spanish in each exercise so that you can check your comprehension and perhaps try to put the English back into Spanish, using the text as your answer sheet. |
|
(T 39) --- Actividad A. Do you remember what has happened so far? You will be expected to know
the meaning of these sentences. |
|
(T 40) --- Actividad A. En este
epidsodio I won't ask you to put these events in order, but I do expect you to
know what everything means. |
|
We also need to consider several exercises in the workbook. Again, I will provide discussions of the exercises and links to the answers and English equivalents. Selected exercises will appear on your exam. Check the exam description for details. |

|
(W 30) --- Actividad A. ¿Quién habla?
(Who is speaking?) Who is saying these things? You need to remember the story line, and,
of course, you need to understand what you see. Click below for the answers
and the English equivalents. Then practice putting the sentences back into
Spanish from the English equivalent. |
|
(W 30) --- Actividad B. ¿Quién lo diría?
(Who would say it?) Don't worry about the first column. I don't care who would say these
things. I want to know what they say. I want the Yo form of the verb. I also
want you to make sure you understand the whole sentence, and I will expect
you to be able to reproduce the sentences in Spanish from the English
equivalents. |
|
(W 30) --- Actividad C. Miquel Ruiz
Ramírez habla de sus actividades. (Miquel talks about his activities.) Notice that Miguel is talking about himself, so all the verbs end in -o
and -oy. In order to pick the correct word, however, you must understand the vocabulary
of the exercise. If you have any questions about meaning, check the English
equivalents. Then check your answers. I recommend that you also practice
putting the sentences back into Spanish from the English. |
|
(W 32) --- Actividad A. -- Las preguntas
de Jaime (Jaimes' questions) The key here is to understand the sentences. Keep pounding in the
vocabulary. Make sure you understand the material and match the questions and
answers. I have provided the English equivalents of the correct question and
answer combinations. Can you put this material back into Spanish? |
|
(W 32) --- Actividad B. -- Ruiz Miguel
habla con su hijo Miguel is talking to his son, so he's using the familiar verb form.
That's why all the endings are -as and -es. In order to pick the correct
word, however, you must understand the vocabulary of the exercise. If you
have any questions about meaning, check the English equivalents. Then check
your answers. I recommend that you also practice putting the sentences back
into Spanish from the English. |
|
(W 33) --- Actividad C. -- Más preguntas
para Raquel (more questions for Raquel) This is basically the same exercise as Actividad A on page 32. The
questions are the same and so are the answers. The difference is that Jaime
is talking to Raquel using the formal you instead of the familiar. Rewrite
these seven sentences using usted. |
|
Video Scripts --- I have prepared a few scripts to accompany
portions of the video. Study these scripts so that you have a better idea of
what is being said in the video. Most of the words and expressions they are
using are things that we have already studied, but they move along quite
rapidly. I'm hoping that these scripts will make your video watching much
more productive. |
