Week 13- Practico Mis Verbos

This week I have been working on improving my past tense verb forms. Even though I was working on this last week I still don’t think that I have this down as much as I would like to. This is something that I have been struggling with a lot. I finally feel like I have gotten a little bit of a hang on it but I could still use improvement. It is very important to be able to use past tense verbs when having a conversation with someone. So far I have practiced my past tense verbs in the form of writing. I have used some past tense verbs when emailing people. I have been sending out many emails to native speakers through my personal email account and my epals account. Unfortunately most of the people I have been connecting with are off on summer break because they are from Argentina. Even though my work isn’t perfect i still feel like I am improving. I also used http://www.quia.com/shared/spanish/ to practice my past tense verbs using a matching game which was very fun.

I have also been working on my use of the reflexive verbs. We have been working on this in class a lot. If you look at my post “Las Rutinas” you will see that all of my verbs are conjugated using the reflexive format. In class I have also been doing many worksheets concerning the use of reflexive verbs. I have also been practicing my reflexive verbs using http://www.quia.com/mc/845288.html . I really like the matching games that they have on there. It is important to practice this skill as much as possible.Hopefully I am working to achieve my goals to the best of my ability. It is very important to me to become fluent in Spanish.
