La regla · The rule
A longer text, three tenses at work — spot each one as you read.
Y también · And also
Los sábados, Leo va al mercado con su padre. Primero compran fresas y queso. Luego comen en la cafetería. El sábado pasado, Leo vio a su amigo Tomás en el mercado. Jugaron en el parque juntos. El próximo sábado, Leo va a buscar un libro nuevo en la biblioteca.
Ojo · Watch out
los sábados with the plural article means every Saturday; el sábado means this Saturday or last Saturday. The article carries the habit.
Do it now — on paper
Say all 8 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with su padre.
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 28 in Module 3 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.
