Mean Language Teacher

Welcome back. Bienvenidos de nuevo! We are going to begin using this blog in our class on a daily basis. Today you are going to use it to turn in an assignment. Here it is:

Describing someone’s clothing. In spanish adjectives and colors come after the object. We say “red shirt” and in spanish you say “shirt red.” But you already know that. In addition to that the color in spanish has to agree with the object. So red would have to have an “a” on the end- una camisa roja. You know that already as well. Using that information and pages 80-81 in your text book describe a picture that you choose from a magazine. You should use the verb llevar-to wear or carry.

Yo llevo. Tu llevas.  Ella lleva.  Nosotros llevamos. Ellos llevan.
