Examen Parcial
May 31st, 2018 by Barbara Fraser
Hola a todos
Our midterm exam will be on June 7th in the second half of class. Here is what you can expect:
The exam should take approximately an hour to write. There will be three sections:
1. Short Answer
These will require one-word answers. The focus will be on Verbs from Chapters 1-3, (Regular -AR, -ER and IR verbs, and Irregular Verbs Ser, Tener and Venir) as well as Gender and Number, Adjectives, and Telling Time.
Examples of Possible Questions
Yo ___________ (ser) estudiante.
Alberto _______ tacos. (provide and conjugate the correct verb)
Salma Hayek es _____________ (provide an adjective)
It’s 10:30 ______________________ (provide a statement of time)
2. Composición
You will be given a choice of 1 of 2 “situaciones” based on material in the text (usually from the dialogues at the beginning of the chapters, so study those) and you will be asked to either write a short composition or a dialogue.
3. Traducción
You will be given a short paragraph in English and asked to translate it into Spanish. This will be based on the material in the dialogues as well as the “Practica de Traduccion” we do in class and at home.
