~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Gramática~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using Tener to express AGE

To say how old someone is in Spanish, you say someone HAS a certain number of years.

Conjugate the form of TENER for the person, then say the number, then say years (años).

Tener + #(age) + años.

I am fifteen years old = I have fifteen years = Yo tengo quince años.

1.She is thirteen years old. ___________________________________________________

2. You are fourteen. __________________________________________________

3. He is thirty years old. _____________________________________________________

4.We are sixteen. _________________________________________.

5. They (m) are five. __________________________________________________.

6. All of you are twelve years old. ________________________________________.

What if you want to ask someone how old he/she is?

How many years (do) you have? = ¿Cuántos años tienes (tú)?

To ask about someone else’s age, just conjugate TENER for the right person:

How old are they? ¿Cuántos años ____________ ellos?

Posesión con “DE”

In English, we show possession (who owns something) by adding ____________________.

In Spanish, we don’t have this. Instead, we show possession by using the word “de,” which means ___________ or _____________.

RECIPE: Say the item , then de, then the person who possesses (owns).

Ex: John’s dog = The dog of Juan (dog belongs to Juan): El perro de Juan.

Mariana’s books = Los libros de Mariana.

The kids’ dog (belongs to more than 1 kid) El perro de los niños.

Try these!

1. The girl’s pencil _________________________

2. The student’s homework __________________________

3. The woman’s sister _______________________________

4. The boys’ cats _________________________________

5. The man’s brother ______________________________

6. Pedro has Julia’s pen.____________________________________________

7. The kids are the woman’s cousins _____________________________

Possessive Adjectives

Sometimes in English we don’t have an ( ‘S) with possession. Can you think of a time that we don’t use an

( ‘S) but we are still talking about something belonging to someone?

|My (singular) |Our (singular) |

|My cat |Our house |

|My (plural) |Our (plural) |

|My cats |Our houses |

|Your (singular) |x |

|Your dog | |

| | |

|Your (plural) | |

|Your dogs | |

|His (singular) |Their (singular) |

|His book |Their class |

| |Their (plural) |

|His (plural) |Their classes |

|His books | |

| | |

| |All of your (singular) |

|Her (singular) |Your homework |

|Her book | |

| | |

|Her (plural) |All of your (plural) |

|Her books |Your homeworks |

| | |

|Your formal (singular) | |

|Your book (sir) | |

| | |

|Your formal (plural) | |

|Your books (sir) | |

You only need an “s” on the end of the possessive adjective if a plural ITEM comes after. It has nothing to do with how many people own the item.

Fill in the correct possessive adjective. Check for how many items we are talking about!

1. El es _____ (my) amigo.

2. Son ______(my) vestidos.

3. Es ______ (your) sombrero.

4. Son ______(your) calcetines.

5. Es ________(his) perro.

6. Es ________ (her) gato.

7. Son _______(their) zapatos.

Es _______(our) perro.

Es _______(his) camisa.

Son _______(their) vestidos.

Es _________(our) falda.

Son _______(our) pantalones.

Es ________(my) calcetín.

Son _______(your) blusas.

Expressing the DATE in Spanish.

To say the date, you say it’s the NUMBER (day) of the MONTH.

Use the following phrase: Es el ______ de _________.

(number) (month)

To say it’s March 6th = 6th of March = Es el seis de marzo.

Today is the _____ of ______ = ______________________________________

You put the numbers in their normal form (dos, tres, ocho), EXCEPT for the FIRST of every month. You say, “el primero” instead of “el uno.”

Ex: Es el primero de mayo. (It is the first of May).

How to ask the date: ____________________________________________________

How to answer the date: _________________________________________________

Escribe en español:

4 / March ______________________________________________________________

3 / January _______________________________________________________________

10 / August ______________________________________________

When is your birthday? __________________________________________________

My birthday is the (number of the day) de (month).

Comparisons

Use the comparison phrases found in section G of your paquete to compare things in Spanish.

To express the ideas of “more (adjective) than” in English, a lot of times we use -er instead of just saying “more.” Ex: Big, bigger. Tall, taller.

In Spanish you can’t add –er. You have to say “more ___ than” = “más (adj) que.”

Ejemplo: El chico es más guapo que su hermano.

(the boy is MORE handsome THAN his brother)

Mariana is taller than Jacinta = __________________________________________

You can also use it without an adjective as “more than” =

Me gusta correr más que leer. (I like to run more than to read)

I like cookies more than cake = __________________________________________

To say someone is “less (adjective) than,” use “menos (adj) que.”

Ejemplo: La chica es menos simpática que mi amiga.

(The girl is less nice THAN my friend)

The dog is less lazy than the cat. ________________________________________

My friend is less smart than I (not ME!) _____________________________________

To say someone is equal to someone else, you use “as (adj) as” = “tan (adj) como.”

Ejemplo: Paco es tan bajo como Ana.

(Paco is as short as Ana)

My friend is as ugly as your friend. ______________________________________________

If you want to say that something is “as much as” something else, just use “tanto como.”

Ejemplo: ¿Te gusta jugar al fútbol tanto como correr? (Do you like to play soccer as much as run?)

I like cookies as much as cake = __________________________________________

I like swimming as much as running = _________________________________________

If your comparison is talking about numbers: use DE. Tengo más de cuarenta dólares,

tienes menos de cinco minutos.

1. Math class is more interesting than history class.

__________________________________________________________________

2. Julio is less handsome than Joaquín.

__________________________________________________________________________

3. Lila is as intelligent as her mother.

Use “saber” when you are talking about ______________________________________

Hints with Conocer = ________ a+ person (Yo conozco a tu primo = I know your cousin)

Hints with Saber = _________ que…. (Tú sabes que la tarea es difícil= You know THAT the HW is hard)
