"¡Hola a todos! Today, we are going to dive into the world of regular present tense verbs in Spanish. Regular verbs follow specific patterns in their conjugation. Do you know what a regular verb is? That's right! They are verbs that follow the same set of rules when you change the subject. Specifically, we will focus on three types of regular verbs: those ending in '-ar,' '-er,' and '-ir.' For example, the verb 'hablar' (to talk), 'comer' (to eat), and 'vivir' (to live). Let's get ready to learn how to conjugate these verbs!"
"Now, I am going to hand out some printable cards. These cards will help you practice the verb conjugations. Please take one card and keep it handy, as we will be filling it out together!"
"Alright everyone, take a look at the whiteboard. We are going to practice conjugating a few regular verbs together. Let's start with an '-ar' verb. Who can remind me of an example? Yes, 'hablar'! Great! Let's conjugate it in the present tense."
(Write on the board)
"Look at how the endings change based on the subject! Now, let’s try an '-er' verb. What about 'comer'? Let’s conjugate it together."
(Write on the board)
"Fantastic! Lastly, let’s do an '-ir' verb. Who can suggest one? Yes, 'vivir'! Let's write that one out as well."
(Write on the board)
"Does everyone see the patterns here? It's the same for all regular verbs, just the endings change!"
"Now it’s your turn! Go ahead and fill out your printable cards with the verbs we just conjugated. Use the examples from the whiteboard to help you. You have two minutes to complete this activity. Please begin!"
"Time’s up! Please pass your cards to the front. I’m going to randomly check a few to see how well you understood the conjugation rules we covered. Don’t worry, this is just for me to gauge your understanding."
(After checking a few cards)
"Great job, everyone! I’m positively impressed with your work! Keep practicing!"
"For homework, I want you to find three regular verbs you like and write sentences using them in the present tense. I won’t go into detail now, but you will be sharing those sentences in our next class. Make sure to review your conjugation rules, and I am looking forward to hearing your sentences!"
"Thank you for your hard work today! Have a great day!"
