La regla · The rule
A presentation ends, it does not stop. Para concluir, diría que… then one sentence of position and one that opens outward. ¿Y ustedes qué opinan? hands it to the room.
Y también · And also
Never end with y ya. It is what every unprepared candidate says, and examiners have heard it four hundred times before lunch. Yo terminaré con una pregunta — I will end with a question — is the prepared version.
Ojo · Watch out
Never end with y ya. para concluir, diría que…, then one sentence of position and one that opens outward. el remate is the closing line — the finishing stroke, not a sale.
terminar, futuro — the table
yo terminaré · tú terminarás · él/ella/usted terminará · nosotros terminaremos · ustedes terminarán · ellos/ellas terminarán
Do it now — on paper
Say all 9 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with para concluir.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
Write out terminar, futuro in full from memory, every person, and check each form against the table above.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The Spanish Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
