School vocabulary with the verbs it lives in: Escucho al profesor. Escribo en mi cuaderno. Leo un libro. Termino mi tarea.
El profesor (the teacher) joins the cast — la profesora for a woman, and in the schoolyard everyone says profe. El estudiante and la estudiante share one ending and change only their article.
escuchar takes a before a person: escucho al profesor, escucho a mi madre. Before a thing there is no a: escucho la música.
