(note:  memorize these now;  you will need to know them for Spanish)

Subject Pronouns

                                                 plural
                I                    am             we                          are
            you                   are            you                          are

 The four parts of verbs are:  present, present participle, past and past participle.  This is found in Chapter 18 of our book.  We will continue on with tenses, and voice of verbs.  We will also learn how to relate this  grammar to the Spanish language.

 

The following charts should be useful for you to study with.  They are also in your text book, Chapter 11.  These charts are more simplified than your textbook.  These charts should also be in your notebooks.  If not, please put them in your notebook
