Checkpoint: possessives and present-tense verbs
Check possessives and useful present-tense patterns.
What you’ll work on
- Use singular and plural possessives.
- Select present forms for different people.
- Express age and a destination.
A short conversation
Google voice when available; device voice as a fallback. Read along, then try each line aloud.
Mi hermano vive en Lima.
My brother lives in Lima.
¿Trabaja allí?
Does he work there?
Sí, trabaja y estudia.
Yes, he works and studies.
Nosotros también estudiamos.
We study too.
Look for the person and number
In each item, identify the subject before choosing the verb. For possessives, check how many things or people are possessed. Mi hermana and mis hermanas have the same owner but a different number of sisters.
Write your own description
After the questions, describe a person without copying the dialogue. Use a regular verb and at least two useful irregular forms. If one form is hard to retrieve, return to the matching teaching lesson and practice it in a phrase.
