Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondence [i] sounds like the ‘i’ in the Spanish word ‘idea’.
- When the person or animal being described is male, adjectives end in -o.
- When the person or animal being described is female, adjectives end in -a.
- 'Está' means 'she, he, it is' or just 'is' when talking about mood and temporary states.
Keywords
[i] - pronounced [i] as in idea
Está - part of the verb estar - to be, being, meaning she, he it is
Adjective - word that gives information about a noun
Common misconception
English and Spanish sound-spelling links are the same.
Sound-symbol correspondence [i] is different in Spanish and English and reading aloud Spanish words with [i] leads to more secure knowledge.
