Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. The definite article is used with body parts rather than ‘my’ ‘yours’, ‘his’/’her’, etc.
  2. ‘Doler’ (to hurt, to be painful) is very commonly used with an indirect object pronoun.
  3. In sentences with ‘doler’, the subject is the body part(s) so you need to use the correct verb ending for -er verbs.
  4. In a role play, you are expected to say a few words or a short phrase in response to each prompt/bullet.

Keywords

  • Indirect object pronoun - replaces the person(s) or thing(s) receiving the action of the verb, when the meaning is 'to' or 'for' someone.

Common misconception

One-word answers are sufficient in the role play.

It's important to say a few words or a short phrase/sentence in response to each prompt/bullet rather than one-word answers.
