Rising 5th

Grade Summer Review Packet 2017

This packet is designed to review Spanish grammar concepts that were taught in 4th grade. This packet is to be completed throughout the summer vacation. It has

been broken into 10 weeks. It is designed this way to help the student review the concepts that they have already learned. I recommend one exercise per

week to avoid doing multiple exercises at one time. It will be much more beneficial to the student this way. The students will receive a grade for this

packet when they return and there will also be a test. Enjoy your summer and remember to speak lots of Spanish. ¡Hasta pronto!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summer Spanish Recommendations:

-Watch your favorite show or movie in Spanish and read the closed

captioning in Spanish -Work in a learning language app such as Duolingo to keep your skills

fresh -Look for and read important informational signs or labels in Spanish

(look around, you’ll discover Spanish is ALL around you) -Read an easy reader in Spanish (check your local library)

-Try to order food in Spanish at a Spanish restaurant

Grammar Notes

This section of your packet will help you if you have forgotten a section. Please feel free to read over any of these sections you feel you may not understand completely.

Part 1: Nouns

A noun represents a person or an animal, a thing, a place, an idea or a concept.

All Spanish nouns have gender - they are either masculine or feminine. Most nouns that end in –o, -aje, -l, -r are masculine, and most nouns that end in -a , -dad, -ión, -tud are feminine.

el libro masculine gender la carpeta feminine gender

Nouns ending in letters other than -o or -a do not automatically tell you their gender. The gender of these nouns is learned through practice.

el lápiz masculine gender la clase feminine gender

A few nouns can be both masculine and feminine.

el estudiante masculine gender la estudiante feminine gender

Nombre:___________________________________________________

Part 2: Definite Articles

The singular definite article in English is "the."

Spanish has two singular definite articles: el for masculine nouns and la for feminine nouns.

el bolígrafo the pen la mochila the backpack

Part 3: Indefinite Articles

The singular indefinite article in English is "a" or "an."

Spanish has two singular indefinite articles: un for masculine nouns and una for feminine nouns.

un bolígrafo a pen una mochila a backpack

Part 4: Subject pronouns

We use pronouns to avoid repeating a person's name. Subject pronouns tell who is doing an action.

Mary works in a gift shop. She often works on Saturdays.

Singular Plural

I yo we (m.) we (f.)

nosotros nosotras

you (informal)

tú you (inf.) vosotros vosotras

you (formal) usted you (form. & inf.)

ustedes

he él they (m.) ellos

she ella they (f.) ellas

Part 5: Regular -ar Verbs

Nombre:___________________________________________________

8

The dictionary form of a verb is called the infinitive.

estudiar = to study

We must change the infinitive to a form that tells who is doing the action. To do this, we first drop the -ar.

estudi + ar = infinitive

Then, we add endings.

Singular Plural

yo estudio nosotros(as) estudiamos

tú estudias vosotros(as) xxxx

él, ella, usted estudia ellos, ellas, ustedes estudian

Now we can say àElla estudia. She studies. --àinstead of saying Ella estudiar. àShe to study.

Part 8: Cognate Practice Cognates are words that are similar in both English and Spanish. Try your best to identify the English translation for each Spanish word given. Part 9: Parts of Speech Sustantivo = noun (person, place, or thing) in Spanish is usually preceded by an article (el, la, un, una) Verbo = verb (an action word) in Spanish the infinitive form will end in –ar, -er, -ir Adjetivo = adjective (a description word) Part 10: Making Nouns Plural Remember, If a noun ends in a vowel, add “S” to make it plural. Also, do not forget to make the article plural as well. el zapato à los zapatos If a noun ends in a consonant, add “ES” to make it plural. Also, do not forget to make the article plural as well. el motor à los motores *If a noun ends in Z, change the Z to a C then add “ES” to make it plural. Also, make the article plural as well. la luz à las luces
