Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. The sound-symbol correspondences [que] and [ce] have different initial sounds; hard and soft 'c' sounds.
  2. Revising vocabulary is important to develop confidence and improve recall.
  3. The verb 'hacer' is irregular in its 1st person singular form; 'I do, make' is 'hago'.
  4. 'You do, make' is 'haces' and 'she, he, it does, makes' is 'hace'. These forms are regular.

Keywords

  • Hacer - Spanish verb meaning 'to do, doing' or 'to make, making'

  • Hago - part of the verb 'hacer' meaning 'I do' or 'I make'

  • Haces - part of the verb 'hacer' meaning 'you do' or 'you make'

  • Hace - part of the verb 'hacer' meaning 'she, he it does' or 'she, he it makes'

Common misconception

The first person singular form of 'hacer' is 'haco'.

The first person singular form of 'hacer' is irregular. To mean 'I' with the verb 'hacer', use 'hago'.
