Spanish Lesson Thirty-Eight: Cars and Car Parts

Hey Everyone! I want to first apologize for last week's lesson. As I reviewed this week I found several errors. The vocabulary list has been completed, the charts at the bottom updated as well as the homework. Please excuse those mistakes. To view them click here. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, Bienvenido! It's time to start learning some more Spanish. This week we're going to focus on the Car and Car Parts. I thought that'd be unique enough to grab some attention.

Now last week we worked on Giving and Receiving Directions. I hope that was useful to you all. These themes are meant to expand your vocabulary and ability. I'm hoping to figure a way to incorporate more ways to learn in these lessons. When I do, I will definitely initiate those new functions. As of now, we'll continue along as normal. Oh. Also don't forget that come lesson Forty there will be a new Quiz and Project Lesson. Lesson Forty-One will be another grammar lesson on how to use The Future Tense. Stay tuned!

Today's Goals: To learn and understand new vocabulary pertaining to Cars and Car Parts. To Utilize said vocabulary and be able to incorporate it into everyday conversation.

Welcome everyone! El vocabulario de hoy will be your usual hodgepodge of adjectives, verbs, and nouns. Also there will be an additional chart of words pertinent to today's theme. I hope these words are helping you all learn new vocabulary. Always look up sites that offer flashcards to learn new words. That's probably the easiest way to retain new words. You can also make your own!

Today's Tips: Watch or read a car review in Spanish. See if you can understand any of the terms or parts of the car.

You have to remember that every verb is unique in its own way. There are some exceptions to the rules, but for the most part, all verbs conjugate the same way in every tense. Your answers are below this section. Here are some more verbs to practice the Present Indicative, Preterit, and Imperfect Indicative. I used the Imperfect Subjunctive earlier. Don't worry. That won't come until later. Here are this week's verbs
