La regla · The rule
Furniture words put your position words to work: El gato está sobre el sofá. La pelota está debajo de la cama. Hay una lámpara sobre la mesa.
Y también · And also
El refrigerador and la estufa are the Latin American fridge and stove — Spain says la nevera and la cocina for both. El armario holds the clothes; el espejo shows you wearing them.
Ojo · Watch out
el sofá keeps its accent and its el: it is masculine though it ends in -a, like el día. And la televisión is feminine, like every -ión word.
Do it now — on paper
Say all 9 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with el sofá.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
Write two sentences of your own that get the watch-out line right, then the two practice pages of workbook lesson 27 in Module 2 are the written half of this page.
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.
