EL IMPERFECTO   - LWS CU1

nota aqui - http://users.ipfw.edu/jehle/courses/imperf.htm

practicamos aqui - http://www.elearnspanishlanguage.com/tests/te-imperfect.html

Como usamos el imperfecto?  

leemos aqui:

For example, let's set a scene:




•Eran las nueve de la noche. Era viernes. Hacía mal tiempo. Llovía. Todos estábamos en casa. Mamá y Papá miraban la televisión; yo leía una novela de StarTrek; mi hermana hablaba por teléfono con su novio en su cuarto. Esnupi (nuestro perro) dormía detrás del sillón en la sala.

•It was 9:00 at night. It was Friday. It was bad weather. It was raining. We were all at home. Mom and Dad were watching television; I was reading a StarTrek novel; my sister was talking on the phone with her boyfriend in her room. Esnupi (our dog) was sleeping behind the armchair in the living room.


This has all been written in the Imperfect.






But now let's get to the action:


•De repente, ¡Entró un ladrón! Pasó por la escalera y caminó hasta la recámara de mis padres. Miró en el cuarto cuando oyó la voz de mi hermana. Se volvió y bajó las escaleras. Trató de huir de la casa, pero Esnupi se despertó y mordió la pierna del ladrón.

 •Suddenly, a robber entered! He went upstairs and walked down to my parent's bedroom. He looked in the room but then he heard my sister's voice. He turned and went down the stairs. He tried to flee the house, but Esnupi woke up and bit the robber's leg.



This is a series of actions in the Preterite which happened within the setting established by the Imperfect.






The focus of the Preterite is on completed action(s). The Imperfect focuses on a state of being.






Let's look at some examples:


Preterite


(completed action)


Imperfect


(description, scene)






Comí la cena. Comía la cena...


I ate my dinner (and I finished it) I was eating my dinner...[when something happened]


-or- I used to eat my dinner...


Tuvo que devolver la camisa      Tenía que devolver la camisa


She had to -and did- return the shirt. She had to return the shirt (She was supposed to return it - but we don't know if she did or not.)

Bonjour FSF 1D!

 Please read the following paragraph. What does it mean to you?

   Dans le monde idéal de moi, les voitures/autos n'existeront pas. Nous marcherons partout. Chaque personne montera leur bicyclette. Tous mes amis seront contents et n'auront pas beaucoup de problèmes avec le dråme. Je gagnerai la lotterie et je voyagerai le monde. D'aboard , je visiterai Buenos Aires et j'acheterai une nouvelle maison. Les personnes ne mourront pas de faim et 'global warming', le chauffement de terre n'existera pas. Nous prendrons soin (care) de notre monde. Nous aiderons nous autres beaucoup plus que maintenant.


What will make your world idéal?

Buenos dias LWS BD1

Ahora es el tiempo de creer una carta invitando una amiga or algunos amigos a una fiesta!


Creemos una carta hoy, por favor.

     To demonstrate your knowledge of party info and vocab, you will create a clever invitation (to be posted in the hall for display). You will also be asking for help from the invited in some form, using the verb Poder.

Here is what you will be marked on;                                                     /25

- Did you include 5 important pieces of information (labelled and answered)?                     /10                 
             (ej. Lugar - a mi casa, 5 Avenida Boulton)
-  Did you spell words correctly ?                                                                                       /8
-  Did you demonstrate that you know the contents of an invitation and that your invite creatively looks attractive to its reader?                                                                                                       /3
- Did you use a form of poder correctly to ask for help in some way?
(ej. puedes venir a las 7 de la noche, por favor? )                   /4

LWS BD1 Lab instructions – La Comida – Decubrela! Discover it!




La comida- You will find that Spain differs greatly from Canada in that there are less national fast food restaurants.



I would like you to explore 3 regions of Spain; Madrid (el capital), Andalusia, and the Basque country.



Tu vas a buscar un menu de cada (each) region. /20





Here is a great example of a website that you can use for Madrid. http://www.casalabra.es/main.html

Telepizza is one of the (if not) only Spanish chains that exist. http://www.telepizza.es/inicio.aspx



Escribe el website por cada menu aqui.



Da un especial de cada menu. Di que es en ingles. ¿Cuanta cuesta?



¿Que te gusta en el menu?

¿Que no te gusta?

¿Hay las fotos? Descubrelas. Describe them.

¿Hay las cosas de nuestro vocabulario?



Can you make one comparison and one differentiation about the menus you have read? Why would they differ, in your opinion (think of where the regions are in the country)



Complete the chart por favoir /15



Region de espana

Madrid

Andalusia

Basque

Website for the restaurant and its menu







Especial del dia .

¿Cuanta cuesta?







¿Que te gusta en el menu?







¿Que no te gusta?







¿ Fotos?









Compare to Canada : Are there differences in what categories our menus have? Do they have more plates that contain a certain type of food that ours do not? Can you give any explanations? /5
