<p>Last week you were asked to think about your language skills and to do a practice asking you to identify certain parts of speech and verb tenses in Spanish. This may have been hard for you, especially if you aren't used to hearing these terms.</p>

<p><strong>If you have trouble with terms such as nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, etc,</strong> I highly recommend looking at the <a href="https://grammar.spanishintexas.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spanish Grammar in Context site</a> from the Spanish in Texas Project. If you hover over a part of speech in the top menu, you can see the different topics for it you can choose from. Clicking on one will open up a page of explanation with many examples.</p>

<p><strong>If you have trouble knowing what verb tense is which, </strong>I recommend creating a verb tense chart for reference. Below is a chart you can fill-in for yourself to help you organize the tenses in your mind. I have attached a blank chart and also one completed for the verbÂ <em>vivirÂ </em>as an example. Feel free to print out my example, but don't stop there! I recommend you create your own, either using a single verb as I have or you could use different verbs throughout - maybe choose verbs that tend to give you trouble. DO INCLUDE THE ENGLISH translations. This is what will help you link the Spanish tense with what you want to say.</p>
