“Hay que”   Hay que… is an expression that means: It is necessary to…OR One must…   We use it generally – so not for specific people. 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.”

Say What?

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 Nado You swim Nadas We swim Nada They swim 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) Él (He) Ella (She) Ustedes (You – plural) Ellos (They) Ellas (They – female)

Matching Subjects with Names   Él: Mario, James, Mr. Clarke   Ella: Maria, Rihanna, Ms. Jarrett   Nosotros: My friends and I; Ricardo, Maria, and I   Nosotras: My (girl)friends and I; Maria, Rihanna, and I   Ellos: James and Mario; James and Maria   Ellas: Maria and Rihanna   Ustedes: (used when talking directly to an “Ellos” or “Ellas”
