Today we reviewed how adjectives in Spanish have genders just like the nouns and that they have to match the noun they define. Also, we learned how to ask what is it? and answer. (¿Qué es? Es un/una....). We also practiced using the words on page 19 from the student book. For example: ¿Qué es? Es un helado. Then, we practiced the same, but this time we answered by adding an adjective in the sentence. For example: ¿Qué es? Es un helado verde. We noticed how some colors do not change their ending regardless if the noun is masculine or feminine. For example verde, azul, rosa, naranja, marrón. We did page 18, 19 from the student book. If you want to hear the recording for exercises 9,10,13, 14 and 15 go to the following website: https://lolayleo.difusion.com/ scroll down until you see the book covers of all 3 books. Under the first book go to audios del libro en MP3 (first option under libro de alumno) and download it. The recordings related to the above exercises are #15,16,17,18 and 19 respectively.
