Sample Writing Prompts

The writing must be in paragraph form.  I encourage you to write as much as you can, according to the specified requirements indicated in the directions.  However, it is important that you also write as well as possible.  A paper with many words, if poorly organized and poorly written, will not earn a high score.  So, try to combine length and quality as you write.

Your paragraphs should demonstrate good sentence structure and fluidity.  In addition, be sure to draw upon prior knowledge by including a wide variety of vocabulary and grammatical structures, as well as, including different verb tenses.  Include verb tenses such as, the present, preterit, and simple future when applicable.  When you have completed your writing section, be sure to edit; pay close attention to verb-subject agreement, adjective-noun agreement, spelling, and accents.

LA CONCORDANCIA DE LOS ADJETIVOS

Words describing people and things are called adjectives.  In Spanish, adjectives describing females usually end in –a.  Adjectives describing males usually end in –o.  However, there are some exceptions, such as deportista, which can describe both a female and a male.

 

 

 

Also, remember that all adjectives should match the noun they are describing both in number and gender.  For example,  

La mesa es roja.

 

The table is red.

The word table is feminine and singular; therefore, the adjective should be both feminine and singular.

 

Los libros son grandes.

 

 

 

The books are big.

The word book is both plural and masculine; therefore the adjective should also reflect that.

 

 

LOS ARTICULOS DEFINIDOS E INDEFENIDOS

Nouns refer to people, animals, places and things.  In Spanish, nouns have gender.  They are either masculine or feminine.  Most nouns that end in –o are masculine and most that end in –a are feminine. 

 There are a few examples:  el libro               la calculadora              

These are few exceptions:   el día                    el mapa

 

Other Spanish nouns end in –e  or a consonant.  Some of these are masculine, and some are feminine.  For example,

el cine                el marcador                   la clase                    la televisión

 

A few nouns can be both masculine and feminine.  For example, el/la estudiante.

         

El and la are called definite articles and are the equilvalent of the word “the” in English.  We use “el” with masculine nouns and “la” with feminine nouns.  If nouns are plural, the definite articles would also become plural, and would be “los” and “las”.

 

Un and una are called indefinite articles and are the equilvalent of the word “a” or “an” in English.  We use “un” with masculine nouns and “una” with feminine nouns.  If nouns are plural, the indefinite articles would also become plural, and would be “unos” and “unas”. “Unos/unas” then change their meaning and become “some”.

Ir  +  a   + infinitive

 

Voy a nadar =

Vas a leer =

You (inf) are going to read

 

 

 

 

LOS ADJETIVOS DEMOSTRATIVOS

Demonstrative adjectives are used to modify the noun they are describing. They must agree in number and gender with the noun they are modifying.

Demonstrative adjectives are placed in front of the noun that they are modifying.

este

estos

Remember the following phrase: “This and these have the T’s, that and those don’t!

 

 

 

 

EL PRESENTE PROGRESIVO

The present progressive refers to the action currently happening.  It refers to the “-ing” in English.

 

Estar + verb stem / root + ando/iendo=

 

-ar verbs use the “ando” ending                                              -er and –ir verbs use the “iendo” ending

 

 

 

 

Yo estoy hablando por teléfono.

I am talking on the telephone.

Él está corriendo en el gimnasio.

He is running in the gym.

Nosotros estamos escribiendo unos apuntes.

We are writing some notes.

¿Estás comiendo en la sala?

Are you eating in the living room?

 

 

PARA + INFINITIVE

When “para” is followed by an infinitive verb it means “in order to”.

When “para” is not followed by an infinitive verb it means “for”.

 

 

Yo cocino para comer.

I cook in order to eat.

Ellos van a México para bucear.

They plan to go to Mexico in order to scuba dive.

Esudiamos para la examen de Español.

We study for the Spanish exam.

 

 

LOS ADJETIVOS POSESIVOS

Possessive adjectives are used to show ownership.  They must agree in number and gender with the noun they are modifying. Possessive adjectives are placed in front of the noun that they are modifying.

 

 

Mi(s)

Nuestro(s) / Nuestra(s)

Tu(s)

Vuestro(s)/ Vuestra(s)

Su(s)

Su(s)

 

 

Mi hermana tiene once años.

My sister is eleven years old.

Tu mochila es bonita.

Your backpack is pretty.

Su casa es azul.

His/Her/ Your(Form.)/ Their house is blue.

Nuestro padre vive lejos de aquí.

Our father lives far from here.

Nuestra profesora habla mucho.

Our teacher talks a lot.

Mis gatos se llaman Fluffy y Sammy.

 My cats names are Fluffy and Sammy.

 

 

LA POSESIÓN USANDO DE

When showing possession in English we use an apostrophe s, for example, Robert’s homework.  In Spanish, there is no apostrophe s. Instead it is formed by indicating the object first then to whom it belongs.

 

La casa de mi amigo es grande.

My friend’s house is big.

El novio de la muchacha es guapo.

The girl’s boyfriend is handsome.

El coche de Juan es rojo.

Juan’s car is red.

 

 

LAS EXPRESIONES USANDO HACE + TIEMPO + QUE

To tell how long something has been going on, we use:

 

Hace + period of time + que + PRESENT TENSE verb

 

 

Hace tres días que estoy enferma.

It’s been three days since I’ve been sick.

¿Cuánto tiempo hace que Elena está enferma?

How long has Elena been sick?

To tell how long ago something happened :

 

Hace + period of time + que + PRETERIT TENSE verb

 

 

Hace tres días que fuiste al centro comercial

Three days ago  you went to the mall.

¿Cuánto tiempo hace que Elena jugó tenis?

How long ago did Elena play tennis?

 

LOS OBJETOS DIRECTOS

Remember that a direct object pronoun tells who or what receives the action of the verb.

Direct Object Pronouns agree in number and gender with the nouns they replace.  They usually come before the conjugated verb.  Or, if there are two verbs the direct object pronoun will be attached to the infinitive verb.

When the pronoun replaces both a masculine and a feminine noun we use los.

 

lo

los

la

las

 

 

¿Tomaste la prueba la semana pasada?

Did you take the quiz last week?

Sí,  la tomé ayer.

Yes, I took it yesterday.

 

 

¿Tomaste la prueba y el examen la semana pasada?

Did you take the quiz and exam last week?

Sí,  los tome el viernes.

Yes, I took them Friday.

 

 

¿Vas a hacer la tarea?

Are you going to do the homework?

Sí, voy a hacerla.

Sí, la voy a hacer.

Yes, I am going to do it.

 

 

LOS OBJETOS INDIRECTOS/ BACKWARDS VERBS

Remember that an indirect object pronoun answers the questions to whom or for whom?

Indirect Object Pronouns agree in number and gender with the nouns they replace.  They come before the conjugated verb. 

Also, remember to clarify the “le” and “les” by including the personal “a” and the personal pronoun/name.

 

Me

Nos

Te

Pablo, apaga las luces.

Pablo, turn off the lights.

Sample Writing Prompts

The writing must be in paragraph form.  I encourage you to write as much as you can, according to the specified requirements indicated in the directions.  However, it is important that you also write as well as possible.  A paper with many words, if poorly organized and poorly written, will not earn a high score.  So, try to combine length and quality as you write.

Your paragraphs should demonstrate good sentence structure and fluidity.  In addition, be sure to draw upon prior knowledge by including a wide variety of vocabulary and grammatical structures, as well as, including different verb tenses.  Include verb tenses such as, the present, preterit, and simple future when applicable.  When you have completed your writing section, be sure to edit; pay close attention to verb-subject agreement, adjective-noun agreement, spelling, and accents.
