This/these = este, esta, estos, estas
That/those = ese, esa, esos, esas
That one way over there/those ones way over there = aquel, aquella, aquellos, aquellas.

Preterite review sheet

Plesae skip the first paragraph; it is a little misleading because it uses some Object Pronouns (nos) that can make it hard to figure out the subject.

Second paragraph:

El año pasado unos amigos y yo ____1_________________ (ir) a Guatemala. Ahí nosotros _________2____________ (hacer) muchas cosas. Guatemala es una país muy bonito, y nosotros _____3________________ (poder) visitar lagos, ríos y montañas preciosas. ¡Yo _________4____________ (pescar) en un lago! Nosotros _________5____________ (quedarse) en un hotel en un pueblo muy pequeño, y nos _____6________________ (divertir) muchísimo, pero también _______7______________ (alcanzar) a hacer trabajos interesantes en el pueblo. Mi mejor amigo Jeremy _______8______________ (construir) un horno para una familia en el pueblo, y yo me _______9______________ (madrugar) todos los días para trabajar en los campos de café. Las últimas dos noches ______10_______________ (andar) a una pequeña cascada (waterfall) después de trabajo para descansar. El último día una amiga de nosotros nos _______11______________ (conducir) al aeropuerto y le ________12_____________ (decir) \"Adios\" a Guatemala.

1: fuimos
2: hicimos
3: pudimos
4: pesqué (-car verb)
5: nos quedamos
6: divertimos
7: alcancemos
8: construyó (i to y transformation)
9: madrugué (-gar verb)
10: anduve/anduvimos (the subject is not clear. Best to assume “yo” because the sentence before it was in the “yo” form, but since much of the paragraph was “nosotros” that is an ok assumption.
11. condujo (the “nos” is an object pronoun meaning us. The sentence means “A friend of ours drove us to the airport”.)
12. dijimos (assume nosotros because of the first part of the sentence)

10-11/3 - CSAP day

Both were made using the test as a resource.

FOR MY STRESSED OUT STUDENTS
I know there are a lot of details involved in preterite, and the test is hard in that all the regular and irregular verbs are mixed up with no indication of which are which. If I were you, I would try to develop an "order of operation" to check verbs. Before starting the test, I would probably write the 3 sets of endings on the top of the test - regular -ar, regular -er/-ir, irregular stem endings. Then I would go through the whole test and look for -car, -gar, -zar verbs and do them (yo spelling change). Then I would look through the test for irregular stem verbs and do them using the endings above. Next, I would look at leftover -ir verbs and see if they could be stem-changing "sandal" verbs, and I would do all of those -ir verbs. Then I would check for ser/ir and dar/ver. Finally, I would work my way through the rest of the test, conjugating as regular verbs and looking at the spellings to see if there are any changes I need to make (i to y, the z in hizo). YOU CANNOT BRING IN A WRITTEN CHECKLIST, THIS MUST BE A MENTAL LIST.

Relax and breathe!!!

To review:
1. write endings on top of test
2. -car, -gar, -zar
3. irregular stems (pude, puse, tuve, estuve, supe, anduve, hube, hice, quise, vine, dije, traje, conduje, traduje) REMEMBER to drop the i in ieron with a "j" stem!
4. search -ir verbs, check for stem changers (e-i, o-u)
5. ser/ir, dar/ver
6. everything else, check for spelling changes (3 vowels, z in hizo, any -car, -gar, -zar you might have missed)
