This is a very useful handout that was put together by MFLMorgan in her Spanish Independent Learning folder.Top tip for students: You will always get extra marks for adding the extra details of when you did/do/will/would do the activities you are talking/writing about or how often (frequency) you did/do/will/would do them.Just stick them at the beginning or the end of your sentences. Probably you are already using some of them regularly, so why don't you learn a few more to impress your examiner.

This fab resource was created by MFLMorgan an it's part of her Spanish Independent Learning folder designed to support students using a range of structures when writing and speaking.
Have a look an take some notes. Remember all these structures are followed by the infinitive i.e. when the verb is in its -ar,-er, -ir form. E.g. Me gusta + infinitive Me gusta jugar I like to play I've been recently using The Language Gym developed by Dr Gianfranco Conti. You can use it in different ways, for instance you can practise verb conjugations for all tenses using the Verb Trainer section for French, Spanish, German, Italian and Malay. You can narrow your practise down to a certain group of verbs or pronouns. My favourite section is the Work outs. In this section, only for French and Spanish, students can practise: - Vocabulary Modules - Grammar Modules - Reading Modules - Oral preps Modules. I've been setting free revision for my GCSE students and they find the Work outs extremely useful. Finally, it's the Game Room. If you want to consolidate and wrap things up at the end of a lesson, you will love this section. Para and Por are very common prepositions in Spanish and it’s so easy to get confused when trying to decide which one to use because both of them can be translated as “for”. Hopefully this will help you a bit. Cause vs. Effect Por usually describes the cause for something. Para it usually conveys some sort of effect Duration vs. Deadline Por usually describes the cause for something. Para it usually conveys some sort of effect. E.g. Trabajé por dos horas. I worked for two hours. Estos deberes son para el viernes. This homework is for Friday Reason vs. Purpose Por usually describes the reason Para usually describes the purpose e.g. Aprendo español por mi trabajo. I learn Spanish for my job. Aprendo español para viajar por el mundo. I learn Spanish to /in order to travel around the world. There are many other translations for por and para in English – and it all depends on the context. Por can mean:
Para can mean:
The most important thing here to remember is to think of the meaning you want to convey. Watch the video below, it’s quite funny but really catchy! Enjoy! Pinterest boardPlease visit my pinterest board on "Para" or "Por"
Your AQA GCSE speaking exam is made up 3 sections for both, the Foundation and the Higher. These are: a) one role-play 2) one photo card 3) a general conversation On the day of the exam, your teachers will give you a role-play and a photo card to prepare. You will have 12 minutes under supervision to prepare these and make as many notes as you need, you can keep these notes during the test. The general conversation is on 2 themes, one is chosen by you and the other is a theme not covered by the photo card. Important: You haveto ask a question to your teacher during the general conversation. Failing to do that will have a negative impact on your overall grade. These are some excellent tutorials to help you get ready for your speaking exam. Section 1: The role-playSection 2: The photo cardSection 3: General conversation |
