#39 The Irregular Verb Tener

• It means “to have”• It’s a shoe verb that has an E to IE stem

change• It is also a –GO verb• Tener que infinitive = to have to• Conjugate the verb tener and do the “shoe”

outline

#40 Tener Expressions• Tener (to have) in Spanish, is used in a lot of

English “to be” expressions.• Common tener expressions:– Tener hambre = to be hungry– Tener sed = to be thirsty– Tener frío = to be cold– Tener calor – to be hot– Tener sueño = to be sleepy– Tener # años = to be # years old

#41 Possessive Adjectives• Pick the possessive adjective based on who owns the item.• Once you’ve established who owns it, match the possessive adjective in number and

gender with the thing being owned.

mi(s) nuestro(s) nuestra(s)

tu(s) vuestro(s) vuestra(s)

su(s) su(s)

• Write an example and rainbow it.• Make note of which ones you have to worry only about #, and which ones you have

to worry about both # and gender.• Write the English translation of the possessive adjectives.

#42 -ísimo/a & -ito/a Endings• -ísimo/a endings turn a regular adjective into a superlative (the

extreme). • English equivalent is super/very + adjective. For example: guapo = good-looking fea = ugly guapísimo = super good-looking feísima = super ugly

• -ito/a endings turn a regular noun into something smaller, unimportant or a term of endearment.

• English equivalent is a noun with –y ending. For example: abuela = grandmother perro = dog abuelita = granny perrito = doggy

#43 The Irregular Verb Venir • It means to come (at time /from a place)– Venir a la/las time. – Venir de place .

• It’s a shoe verb that has an E to IE stem change and it is also a –GO verb

• Very similar to tener conjugations but it’s an -IR ending verb (not –ER like tener).

• Conjugate venir

#44 Ser vs Estar• Write the Ser vs Estar comparison chart from

the 5B Guided Grammar Practice• 3 things they have in common?• Key word for each and the reasons we use

them (TFCL / PNPPPTRO)• You do not have to conjugate either verb – this

page is just to compare the reasons we use them.

#45 Stem-Changing Verbs• Different from regular verbs because they

have the additional step of the stem change.• There are different stem changes:

U→UE, O→UE, E→IE and E→I• Show that the stem is ALWAYS located in the

next to last syllable before the verb ending.• Conjugate the verb dormir OR poder; include

the infinitive definition, underline the stem change and make the boot outline.

#46 The 3 Regular Comparatives• 3 basic ways to compare something:

1. more _____ than = más ____ que2. less _____ than = menos _____ que3. as ______ as (equal to) = tan_____ como

• Place an adjective, adverb or noun in the blank (in Spanish I, you’ve used adjectives).• Give an example & translation of each, such as:

Carmen es menos atrevida que Paula. Carmen is less daring than Paula.

#47 The 4 Irregular Comparatives• They are “irregular” because these comparatives

already have “more/less” built in – do NOT add it.1. Better than = mejor(es) que2. Worse than = peor(es) que3. Older than = mayor(es) que4. Younger than = menor(es) que

• Give an example & translation of one of the singular and plural forms, such as:

Pablo y Luis son menores que Diana. Pablo & Luis are younger than Diana.

#48 Superlatives• Superlatives are “extreme” comparatives – not just better, but

“best.”• English equivalent = -est words• To turn a comparative into a superlative, JUST ADD AN ARTICLE!!• Use with a noun:1. mejor = better el/la mejor* + noun = the best 2. peor = worse el/la peor* + noun = the worst

*May also be plural (los/las mejores/peores)• Use with an adjective:1. más = more el/la más + adj. = the most2. menos = less el/la menos + adj. = the least• Give an example of a noun and adjective superlative, such as:

Pablo es el mejor estudiante de la clase.
