Hey!
Thanks for stopping by today.
Today we’ll do some fun practice to help reinforce our verbs in this group of e- i and get them more active in our speech.
It’s a small group of irregular verbs, but it’s a good one! Lots of high frequency verbs in this group.
1.
Here’s the list from yesterday as a refresher:
conseguir*
seguir*
decir*
medir
pedir
repetir
servir
reír
sonreír
2.
The ‘Yo’ form for conseguir, seguir and decir are: yo consigo, yo sigo, yo digo
3.
Match the noun to the verb
a. un pedido = an order
Quiero una hamburguesa y un pedido de las papas fritas, por favor.
b. un dicho = a saying
Bon voyage es un dicho francés y buen viaje es un dicho español.
c. una sonrisa = a smile
Ella tiene una sonrisa muy bonita.
d. sonriente = smiley, smiling
Ana es muy sonriente (she always has a smile).
e. risas = laughter
Oigo las risas de tu amigo
f. siguiente = next
When waiting in line you may hear the next available cashier call out ‘siguiente‘.
