Notas de aula
Home words and what exists
- Vivo en una casa, un piso or un apartamento describes a home. In a housing context piso can mean flat, while other contexts use it for a floor or storey. Cocina, salón, comedor, dormitorio and cuarto de baño name rooms.
- Hay un dormitorio and hay dos dormitorios state what exists; hay stays the same. El jardín and el garaje name other home spaces. Use an invented home if preferred; the language task needs no private address or photograph.
Home words with their articles
Town places: read the full phrase
- El ayuntamiento can name town hall, la estación de tren the railway station, la oficina de correos the post office, la panadería the bakery and la farmacia the pharmacy. Estación alone also has non-travel meanings.
- Hay un museo introduces a museum’s existence. El museo está en el centro locates an identified museum; la ciudad es grande gives a characteristic. These patterns are not an absolute permanent/temporary division.
Read the complete town-place phrase
Weather uses complete expressions
- Hace sol, calor, frío or viento expresses sunny, hot, cold or windy conditions. Llueve means it rains/is raining; nieva means it snows/is snowing; está nublado means it is cloudy.
- These are impersonal expressions in the weather examples, not references to a male person. A sentence about today’s weather does not establish the climate of an entire region.
Complete weather expressions
See the relation before naming it
- In the original fictional room picture, el libro está encima del escritorio: the blue book is on the desk. La mochila está debajo del escritorio: the red bag stands underneath it. La silla está al lado del escritorio: the yellow chair is beside it.
- The picture teaches these three visible relations, not a measured floor plan. Other phrases include delante de, detrás de, entre, enfrente de, cerca de and lejos de; name a clear referent and do not infer unseen objects.
An invented room arrangement
Give directions with a consistent listener
- For tú use sigue todo recto, gira a la derecha/izquierda, toma la primera calle a la izquierda and cruza el puente. Todo recto is straight on; a la derecha is right.
- For usted, corresponding commands include siga, gire, tome and cruce. Keep the form consistent. These written phrases do not define an actual street route, junction or crossing.
Consistent direction forms
Existence, absence and location
- Hay un cine introduces a cinema and no hay cine states there is no cinema in the ordinary facility example. No hay un cine can have emphatic or contrastive uses; do not claim every negative article must disappear in every context.
- El cine está cerca locates the identified cinema. Hay remains impersonal for a plural noun: hay dos cines. La reunión es aquí shows that event location can use ser, so estar is not a universal rule for every kind of location.
Different jobs for hay, estar and ser
Opinions belong to a stated speaker
- A speaker may say prefiero el campo porque me gusta la tranquilidad, or me gusta esta ciudad porque hay muchas cosas que hacer. These are invented individual reasons, not facts about every urban or rural area.
- Match adjectives to their noun: un barrio tranquilo/ruidoso/limpio and una ciudad tranquila/ruidosa/limpia. Contaminado, animado and peligroso also need the appropriate form and a supported context.
Adjectives agree with the place noun
Describe a broad area without a private address
- La ciudad, el pueblo, el campo, la costa, la montaña and las afueras describe broad settings. Las afueras means the outskirts rather than automatically every suburb; pueblo may mean village/town or people in different contexts.
- En mi barrio hay un parque, pero no hay cine. El parque está cerca de la biblioteca. Me gusta el barrio porque es tranquilo. This fictional model supplies the evidence for its own description; another coherent setting is valid.
