AGREEMENT
Any adjective is modifying something, right?
For example you want to describe the food with adjectives like wonderful, terrible...etc.
In Spanish that adjective that is describing a particular noun must agree in gender (fem./ masc.) and number (plu./singular)
EXAMPLE
noun: flanes
gender: masculine
number: plural
Any word that says something about "flanes" needs to be plural and masculine:
artículo: los
adjetivo demostrativo: estos, esos, aquellos
artículo indefinido: unos
adjectivo: deliciosos, bonitos, ricos, aromáticos, muchos, fabulosos
most common agreement mistake on the compositions
- el restaurante
- la camarera
- la carne
NOTE (seeing in the compositions)
When you mention food you eat, you do not have to put the articles. For example:
Yo comí las papas fritas, la carne, el pescado
when the verb "ir" is used, the preposition "A" is always needed
- ellos fueron de compras al mercado
- yo voy a comer langosta
- nosotros fuimos a la playa y al cine
al is for a + el
when going in direction to a place "A" is always used. no "en"
- Yo comí en un restaurante. Fui a un restaurante
- Yo estudio en una universidad. Voy a Miracosta
- Nosotros vivimos en San Diego. Vamos a Big Bear de vacaciones
CHECK THE TENSe
WHEN YOU HAVE A SENTENCE IN THE PAST MAKE SURE YOU dO NOT MIX TENSES. CONTINUE IN THE PAST OR MAKE ANOTHER SENTENCE IN PRESENT.
and last not least...
Bring your blue/green book when you have the compositions. You should use my feedback from the previous corrections when you are writing the new one.
Do not rush. Take your time. A ten minutes composition is never a good one!
