1 Essential ?s: How do I say ‘let’s’, what are the final uses of the subjunctive and how do I focus on actions without mentioning the agent?

2  Review of the triggers Doubt Wants, hopes about someone else Impersonal phrases Reactions, feelings about others’ actions Reactions now to past events (haya ___ado/ido) Adjective clauses in some cases

3  There is one trigger you have learned that is incomplete  I call them “frases siempre” because they SIEMPRE trigger the subjunctive Para que (so that) A menos que (unless) Antes que (before) En caso de que (in case) Con tal que (as long as, provided that) Sin que (without)

4  New trigger – “a veces” phrases  There are two types  Time phrases: They trigger the subjunctive if referring to something that hasn’t happened yet. Cuando (when) Después que (after) Mientras que (while) Hasta que (until) Tan pronto como (as soon as)

5  Ejemplos Normalmente trabajo hasta que mi esposa prepara la cena. (normal) Hoy voy a trabajar hasta que mi esposa prepare la cena. (about a moment that hasn’t happened yet) Pueden salir cuando suene la campana. (the bell hasn’t rung yet) Vamos a ver el programa después que lleguen los chicos. (they haven’t gotten there yet)

6  Dile 5 cosas nuevas que entiendes a tu pareja  Escribir 5 preguntas y marcar las respuestas

7  Escribir en español. Before you do your homework, you should eat. I normally eat after I do homework. I am going to eat as soon as I finish my homework. You can eat as long as you finish your homework first I am going to study until my brother calls me.

8  Before you do your homework, you should eat. Antes que hagas la tarea debes comer.  I normally eat after I do homework. Normalmente como después que hago la tarea.  I am going to eat as soon as I finish my homework. Voy a comer tan pronto como termine la tarea.  You can eat as long as you finish your homework first Puedes comer con tal que termines la tarea.  I am going to study until my brother calls me. Voy a estudiar hasta que mi hermano me llame.

9  To give commands, you have learned: Formal commands (talking to someone in Ud.):  Use the subjunctive (escuche, coma, hable, etc) Group commands (talking to multiple people):  Use the subjunctive ellos (escuchen, coman, hablen, etc) Informal commands (talking to someone in tú):  Two forms  affirmative is present tense “él” (habla, come)  Irregulars: tener-ten, venir-ven, etc  Negative is subjunctive tú: no hables, no comas, no escuches

10  There are two ways to say “let’s….” Vamos a _____ (infinitive) Nosotros subjunctive  Except ‘IR’…that is just “vamos” and “no vayamos”  ¡Comamos pizza! If the verb is reflexive or you want a pronoun, connect it to the end without the original ‘s’  Irse: Vámonos  Levantarse: ¡Levantémonos temprano! (Let’s get up early!)

11  Dile 5 cosas nuevas que entiendes a tu pareja  Escribir 3 preguntas y marcar las respuestas

12  Write in Spanish Let’s study tonight! Let’s not watch “American Idol.” Let’s go to the pool. Let’s got to bed late!

14  You have learned several uses for the word ‘se’ Reflexive verbs – you do it to yourelf To replace le or les – someone got something Reciprocal actions – each other  You can also use it for impersonal sayings

15  What does it mean to be impersonal? It means that you are focusing on the action, without mentioning who does it When it is unknown or undetermined who or how many people do the action Refers to a general ‘you’ that is not referring directly at you personally (it is an impersonal you)

16  Some examples What do you do in school? (not you specifically)  ¿Qué se hace en la escuela? You can’t eat in class  No se puede comer en la clase Sí, se puede  Yes you can (You can do it!) We speak Spanish (at this place)  Se habla español They sell fruit at that store  Se vende fruta en esa tienda

17  There are two forms: singular and plural (like gustar) Singular form if one thing or an action plural if multiple things  Se habla español en la clase de Sr. Root.  Se leen muchos libros (multiple books) en la clase de inglés
