Students will be able to accurately conjugate regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in the present tense and demonstrate their understanding through 20 different engaging activities, without using the 'vosotros' form.
¡Hola! Conjugating regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in the present tense is not just a task; it's like solving a puzzle! Let's break it down: 1. **Regular -ar Verbs** (like 'hablar' which means 'to talk'): When you want to say "I talk," you drop the '-ar' and add '-o.' For example, 'Yo hablo!' 2. **Regular -er Verbs** (like 'comer,' meaning 'to eat'): To say "I eat," drop the '-er' and add '-o' again! So, 'Yo como!' 3. **Regular -ir Verbs** (like 'vivir,' meaning 'to live'): Here, the magic continues! You drop the '-ir' and add '-o' for "I live" becoming 'Yo vivo!' But wait! We also have other forms: - **Tú (you)**: Just change '-o' to '-as' for -ar verbs, '-es' for -er verbs, and '-es' for -ir verbs! - **Él/Ella/Usted (he/she/you formal)**: Simply switch to '-a' for -ar verbs and '-e' for -er and -ir verbs! - **Nosotros (we)**: Add '-amos' for -ar, '-emos' for -er, and '-imos' for -ir verbs! As you practice conjugating these verbs, you're not just memorizing; you're discovering the language! Try out some engaging activities like verb games, song rewrites, or even writing a short play where each character speaks in a different tense. Let your creativity shine! Remember, no 'vosotros'! With 20 different activities, you can keep the fun alive while mastering those verbs! So grab your cape, and let's start conjugating!

Students will be able to apply their knowledge of present tense conjugations in real-life contexts by completing a variety of interactive exercises that reinforce their language skills, including speaking, writing, and comprehension tasks.
Present tense is like a time machine that brings your sentences to life in the here and now. When you say, ‘I run,’ ‘you play,’ or ‘he studies,’ you’re telling everyone what’s happening right at this moment. We need to know how to conjugate those verbs correctly, that means changing the verb form based on who or what is doing the action. For example, if you’re talking about yourself, you say 'I eat.' If it's your friend, it changes to 'he eats' and even 'they eat' for more than one person. Isn’t that cool? But guess what? Learning doesn’t stop with just reading rules! We’re going to take a fun journey through interactive exercises that feel less like studying and more like playing a game! You’ll be speaking, writing, and completing cool comprehension tasks that will help you use the present tense in real-life situations. Like writing a short story about your daily routine or having a debate about your favorite sports team! So, grab your pens and your creativity because it’s time to make the present tense your new best friend!
