“Hay que”
 Hay


que… is an expression that means:
It is necessary to…
One must…
OR
use it generally – so not for specific
people.
 We


Example: It is necessary to attend class to get
a passing grade. (We’re talking about
something that’s generally required)
NOT an example: Carolina must attend class to
get a passing grade.
Using “hay que” with verbs.
 The
Spanish verb for “to read” is leer (lay-
air).
 So, to say “It is necessary to read” or “One
must read,” we say:
Hay que leer.
It is necessary to read.
 Now, using your vocab. sheet, write “It is
necessary to speak.”

C-Level Activities for Week 4
TWO due by MONDAY, Sept. 28th
1. Make flashcards for each of the words/phrases on the
Vocabulary 1 (for Unit 2) list. The flashcards should have the
Spanish word on one side and either a picture or the English
translation on the other.
2. Make vocabulary “playing cards” (like flashcards, but with just
the Spanish word on one side and nothing on the other). Play
Memory, Ve a Pescar (Go Fish) or another game you can think
of (check with Ms. Hetrick first).
3. Complete a Puzzle Packet.

Warm Up Questions
 What
is a verb?
 What is verb conjugation?
Conjugation
 English,


Part 1:
We always attach a subject (a person) to every
verb we use.
This is how we know who is doing what.
• Example: The girls swim in the afternoons.



The girls are the who
Swim is the what
A sentence that said “Swim in the afternoons”
wouldn’t make any sense. It would sound like
an order, rather than a statement.
Conjugation, pg. 2

English, Part 2:


Verb conjugations do not follow a reliable pattern.
A verb by itself doesn’t typically tell us who is doing it.
• That’s why we always have a subject!

Example: Swim (in the afternoons) doesn’t give us a
clue as to who is swimming. We can’t guess, because
“swim” is used for different subjects:
•
•
•
•
I swim
You swim
They swim
We swim
 He swims / she swims is the exception. How?
English vs. Spanish

In Spanish, each verb can tell us both what AND
who.
 This means that each verb changes a lot more
than it would in English.
I swim
You swim
We swim
They swim
Nado
Nadas
Nada
Nadan
Conjugation Rules
 There
are (roughly) 6 general subjects
(more on this later).
 There are two parts to every verb: the root
or stem and the ending (the last two letters).
 When we conjugate verbs:


The STEM stays the same
The ENDING changes
 The
ending changes from its original to one
of six different endings (one for each
general subject)
The Spanish Subjects
Yo (I)
Nosotros (We)
Nosotras (We – female)
Tu (You – familiar)
Vosotros(You – plural – familiar)
Vosotras (You – plural – familiar – female)
Usted (You – formal) Ustedes (You – plural)
Él (He)
Ellos (They)
Ella (She)
Ellas (They – female)
