1 Essential ?: How do I use these irregular verbs? How are they different than the verbs I already know?

2  You have learned to conjugate regular –ar verbs…the verbs that follow rules.  There are verbs that don’t always follow the rules.  Dar, estar and ir are some examples

3  What is conjugating?-hearts  When do you conjugate?-clubs  How do you do it?-diamonds  Give an example.-spades

4  Dar = “to give”  Yo DOY (this is the irregular part)  Tú das  Él/Ella/Ud. da  Nosotros damos  Ellos/ellas/Uds. dan  It is only irregular in the “yo” form.

5  It means “to be”, but for where you are and how you feel….not to describe someone’s looks or personality  Watch the accents!  Yo estoy  Tú estás  Él/ella/Ud. está  Nosotros estamos  Ellos/ellas/Uds. están

6  ¿Cómo estás/está? ◦ How are you?- ◦ “around” activity  ¿Dónde está _______? ◦ Where is ______?

7  Ir = “to go”  Irregular in ALL forms  Yo voy  Tú vas  Él/ella/Ud. va  Nosotros vamos  Ellos van

8  ¿Adónde vas/va? ◦ Where are you going?  ¿Cómo vas/va a ______? ◦ How do you go/get to ______?  You always need “a” after using ir to state where you are going.

9  The word “a” is funny in Spanish ◦ Sometimes it means “to” ◦ Sometimes it means “at” (only for time) ◦ Other times it has no meaning  Anytime a person is the object of the sentence, you have to have “a” ◦ Notice the difference.  Escucho música.  Escucho a Sra. Gamboa.

10  If you are going to use “a” and the next word is “el”, combine them into “al” ◦ Escucho a la profesora ◦ Escucho AL profesor.

11  Write a sentence using Ir, Dar and Estar along with a picture that correlates to the sentence.  You have to use the sentences in a different form for each one.  I give my friend a backpack.  They are happy.  We go to school in the morning.
