Model student answer as Yo tomo… Then ask another student: ¿Qué clases toma ____? (Toma ____.) • Explain that, since the verb endings indicate the person speaking or spoken about, subject pronouns are usually optional in Spanish. • To drill verb conjugation, divide the class into groups of three. Hand each group a small bag in which you have placed strips of paper containing subject pronouns or names. Assign each group member one of the following verbs: bailar, estudiar, or trabajar . Students should take turns drawing out a strip of paper and reading aloud the subject pronoun or name(s). Each group member then writes on a separate sheet of paper the correct conjugation for their assigned verb. Online Class Tip Create and assign a video activity where you link to your own YouTube tutorial video(s) about the present tense of -ar verbs. TEACHING OPTIONS Extra Practice Do a pattern practice drill. Introduce an infinitive from the list of common –ar verbs on page 51 and ask individual students to provide conjugations for the subject pronouns and names you suggest. Reverse the activity by saying a conjugated form and asking students to give the corresponding subject pronoun. Allow multiple answers for the third-person singular and plural. Extra Practice Ask questions using estudiar, bailar, and trabajar . Students should answer in complete sentences. Ask additional questions to get more information. Ex: —____, ¿trabajas? —Sí, trabajo. —¿Dónde trabajas? —Trabajo en ____. • —¿Quién baila los sábados? —Yo bailo los sábados. —¿Bailas merengue? • —¿Estudian mucho ustedes? —¿Quién estudia más? —¿Cuántas horas estudias los lunes? ¿Y los sábados? estructura 2 Present tense of -ar verbs ANTETODO In order to talk about activities, you need to use verbs. Verbs express actions or states of being. In English and Spanish, the infinitive is the base form of the verb. In English, the infinitive is preceded by the word to : to study , to be . The infinitive in Spanish is a one-word form and can be recognized by its endings: -ar , -er , or -ir . estudiar to study -ar verb comer to eat -er verb -ir verb escribir to write  In this lesson, you will learn the forms of regular -ar verbs. The verb estudiar ( to study ) yo estudi o I study tú estudi as you (fam.) study Ud. /él / ella estudi a you (form.) study; he/she studies nosotros/as estudi amos we study vosotros/as estudi áis you (fam.) study Uds./ellos/ellas estudi an you study ; they study S I N G U L A R F O R M S P L U R A L F O R M S Estudio fotografía.
