Presentation Transcript

  1. LIFTED Today is your 3rd chance to write some subtitles for a cartoon. You need to be creative and imaginative with the focus on using as much recyclable vocabulary as possible: especially superlatives and comparatives (but also question words, adverbs, commands and exclamations) See slides 3-9 The aim is to use as many comparatives (I am more annoyed than a hippo) and superlatives (you are the biggest idiot) as you can. You’ll write your dialogues onto a PowerPoint and the best 3 will be chosen to play to the class on Friday afternoon using movie maker (don’t worry – I’ll do all the technical stuff). As well as the vocab that appear within this slide show, try to use the vocabulary presentation embedded below (Press SHIFT + F5) and click it On the next slide you should be able to see the short movie of ‘Lifted’ or there are links underneath if the stream is broken. After that you have all the vocab + the photos from the movie to write on to: Green for the little alien,Red for the fat alien and Blue for the sleeping man (you’ll just have to do his thoughts)

  5. Interrogatives The words you have just learnt are called interrogatives (question words) . They are very recyclable and very important to help you ask for information or initiate conversations in Spanish. Remember that when you write a question, you need to surround it with question marks ¿?. You can use Insert/Symbol to do this. ¿Qué….? What ? ¿Quién….? Who? ¿Cuántos…? How many? ¿Dónde……? Where? ¿Hay….? Is there/ Are there? Porqué….? Why? ¿Puedes..? Can you? ¿Cuándo…? When? ¿A quéhora…? At what time…? ¿Cómo…? How…? Many of these can be combined to make questions: ¿Porqué hay..? = Why are there? ¿Cuándopuedes..? = When can you? Here are a few key words which you can use to help form your own questions in the next exercise…..tienes? = do you have eres? = are you? Es = is son = are tiene? = does it have debo? = must I tengo…? Do I have?

  6. Exclamations Mmm really Zoya ! How interesting! Hi Atheeqa , I’m a Kangaroo, How cool! In English exclamations sound like this ‘How cool’ / ‘How stupid’ In Spanish we use Qué + an adjective (Quéraro! = How weird) (Quétonto! = How stupid) There are also some good ones with nouns Quédesastre! – What a disaster! Quépena – What a shame Quélástima– What a pity Quéidiota– What a dimwit! Quécasualidad– What a coincidence Quésuerte– How lucky!

  7. Exclamations with nouns Quégatitomáshermoso Sometimes you’ll want to give an exclamation about a noun (What a pretty cat) In this case you’ll need to use ‘Qué + Noun + Más + Adjective’ QuésitiomásinteresanteWhat an interesting place! QuéchicasmásaburridasWhat boring girls! QuécasamáslujosaWhat a luxurious house

  8. Giving instructions • We can also use these two phrases: Debes / Hay que + A verb • Debescomermenos chocolate – You must eat less chocolate • Hay queiral gimnasio – You have to go to the gym • No hay quefumar – You mustn’t smoke If the words that follow your instruction phrase don’t end in –er/-ar/-ir then they are not verbs. EXTRA – TO SAY WHO YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO …ADD LO FOR HIM / LA FOR HER / LOS FOR THEM Debessalvar (you must save) Debesdejarme– You must leave me alone Debessalvarla– You must leave her alone Debessalvarlos– You must leave them alone

  9. Adverbs Adverbs describe how you do something: ‘he walked slowly’ To make them: 1st find the adjective for your adverb (find slow if you want to say slowly) If this adjective is not the same, for example when the masculine singular form ends in an o, then the -o should be changed to an -a. Here are some examples: Normalmentetengotodobajo control
