April Fools

Today I graded your quizzes and found that we struggled a few verbs. Here is what I saw:

Devolver is an IRREGULAR verb. It is an "O to UE" verb. I would write it in your notes like this: O -> UE

DEVUELVO DEVOLVEMOS
DEVUELVES
DEVUELVE DEVUELVEN
*notive that it is regular in the nosotros form... all irregular verbs are regular in the nosotros and vosotros forms

Next:

Meter is a REGULAR verb. It is TOTALLY NORMAL IN EVERY WAY! Some people tried to put in extra letters... but alas... you didn't need to!

METO METEMOS
METES
METE METEN

And of course we could also review IR and TENER because some of us forgot those.
IR is COMPLETELY irregular in EVERY WAY! It looks like this:

VOY VAMOS
VAS
VA VAN

TENER is also very irregular. It looks like this:
TENGO TENEMOS
TIENES
TIENE TIENEN

Not only is it what we call a "GO verb" (the verbs that end in GO in the Yo form) but it is also what we call an "E to IE" verb. You can write it in your notes as: E -> IE. Notice again that it is normal in the nosotros form!

We also FINALLY finished Harry Potter!
