JUEVES, EL DIEZ DE ENERO REPASO: • Imperfect Irregulars (ser, ir, ver) • Indirect Object Pronouns (le, les, etc) NOMBRE: Hora: IMPERFECT IRREGULARS We talked about the past tense yesterday. One of the past tenses we discussed was the imperfect tense. The imperfect tense is the past tense that we use to talk about things that are not from a fixed moment in time. For example, the imperfect would be used for things I used to do, not something that I did once. Preterite: Yo abrí la puerta – I opened the door Imperfect: Yo abría la puerta – I used to open the door or I was opening the door. Remember: Conjugations in the imperfect are, for most verbs, as follows: AR Verbs -aba -ábamos -abas -abais -aba -aban ER, IR Verbs -ía -íamos -ías -íais -ía -ían Yo hablaba, nosotros hablábamos, etc. Él comía, ellos comían, etc. HOWEVER – There are some irregular verbs (of course). Fortunately, there are only three of them: IR (to go) – yo IBA tú IBAS él ella or usted IBA nosotros ÍBAMOS vosotros IBAIS ellos ellas or ustedes IBAN SER (to be) – yo ERA tú ERAS él ella or usted ERA nosotros ÉRAMOS vosotros ERAIS ellos ellas or ustedes ERAN VER (to see) – yo VEÍA tú VEÍAS él ella or usted VEÍA nosotros VEÍMOS vosotros VEÍAIS ellos ellas or ustedes VEÍAN Now try it! Cuando yo 1____________ joven, yo vivía en San Diego. A mi papá le gustaba ir a los partidos de béisbol de los Padres. Él 2__________ a muchos partidos. Yo 3____________ a muchos partidos con él. 4____________ muy divertido. A veces el 5____________ los partidos en la tele. La vida 6______________ muy sencilla y muy divertida cuando yo 7 _____________ joven. INDIRECT OBJECTS As the name insinuates, an indirect object receives the action indirectly. What that means is that the to or for whom the action is completed is the indirect object. In “Matt gives the book to Jon”, the book is the direct object: it is directly receiving the action of the verb. Jon, though, is the indirect object because he indirectly receives the action of the verb (the book is given, but given to Jon). EXAMPLE Matt reads the book to Jon. The verb (action) is read. Who reads? Matt. So Matt is the subject, and reads is the conjugated verb. What does he read, or what “directly receives” the action of his reading? The book. The book, then, is the direct object (D.O.). Matt is not merely reading the book, but somebody is “indirectly receiving” that reading: Jon. Matt reads the book to Jon, so Jon is an indirect object (I.O.). Matt (subject) reads (verb) the book (D.O) to Jon (I.O.). PRONOUNS Pronouns are “substitutes” for nouns. Instead of saying “the book”, we may say “it” and instead of “Jon”, we will often say “to him” or “for him”. “It” and “him” are pronouns. Let’s reconsider the above sentence: Matt reads the book to Jon. The “book” is a D.O. noun. “Jon” is an I.O. noun. Matt reads it to him. “it” is a D.O. pronoun, and “him” is an I.O. pronoun. Now instead of the English pronouns “To Me” “For Him” etc to the Spanish counterparts: Indirect Object Pronouns Spanish English Spanish English to/for me to/for us me nos to/for you (familiar) to/for y’all (Spain) te os to/for him, her or you (formal) to/for them, y’all le les Fill in the blanks/translate as necessary. 1. Yo __________ estaba hablando. (I was talking to you (familiar).) 2. Ella __________ dio un beso. (She gave me a kiss.) 3. Nosotros estábamos estudiando cuando él __________ llamó. (We were studying when he called us.) 4. Cuando nosotros éramos niños, siempre ___________ comprábamos corbatas a mi papá. 5. Yo __________ ______________________ anoche. (I talked to him last night). 6. ________________________________________________________ dólares. (I gave him 5 dollars.) 7. Vamos a __________________________________________. (We are going to give you 10 dollars.) 8. _______________________________________________________________ (He tells me the truth.) 9. ______________________________________________________________ (She gave me the book.) 10. ____________________________________________________ (My grandpa tells us many stories.) 11. __________________________________________________ (My uncle used to give them sweets.) 12. _______________________________________________________(They yelled at you guys.)
