Respellings follow the course’s say-it key; the stressed syllable is in capitals. Print this lesson’s flashcards (PDF) — the words on the front, the English and respelling on the back.
La regla · The rule
Look back at Lesson 1. You now join a cause to its consequence and to its purpose, concede a point without losing your own, choose a mood to show how much you are claiming, read about the environment, society and the media, and build a paragraph that argues rather than lists.
Y también · And also
Module 4 completes B2: the past in writing, regret and reproach, reported speech that shifts its tenses, and the long written tasks. Ya no es gramática, es estilo — this is no longer grammar, it is style.
Ojo · Watch out
la mitad del camino: mitad takes de plus the article, del camino. And bravo is said to one person or to many; it never changes.
Do it now — on paper
Say all 8 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with ya no es gramática.
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 30 in Module 8 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.
