2/3 - Study for test

1. Go over last section on hard worksheet
2. Pen pal letters - be ready to write it tomorrow after the test.
3. Test review - 2 choices - worksheet, Jeopardy game linked in the post below this one.
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)
