La regla · The rule
A prepared spoken case is a written object first: a page of notes with a position, three supports and two anticipated objections. You will not read it; you need it to exist.
Y también · And also
Write the objections in full sentences and your answers in three words each. It is the objection you have not written down that arrives.
Ojo · Watch out
Write the objections in full sentences and your answers in three words each; the objection you did not write down is the one that arrives. el expediente here is the prepared case, not a folder; el apoyo is a supporting point.
preparar, presente — the table
yo preparo · tú preparas · él/ella/usted prepara · nosotros preparamos · ustedes preparan · ellos/ellas preparan
Do it now — on paper
Say all 9 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with el expediente preparado.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
Write out preparar, presente in full from memory, every person, and check each form against the table above.
