Spanish Teaching Resources. PowerPoint: -er & -ir Verbs Preterite.

Spanish PowerPoint Presentation: using er and ir verbs in the preterite to describe holidays/ vacations.

Expressions:
Salí de casa a las seis. (salir)
Fui en tren. (ir = irregular)
Vi un partido entre el Real Madrid y el Barcelona. (ver = irregular)
Llevé una camiseta, una gorra de lana y una bufanda. (llevar)
Comí patatas fritas, una hamburguesa con cebolla y un perrito caliente. (comer)
Bebí una naranjada. (beber)
Vi a David Beckham. (ver = irregular)
Leí el programa. (leer)
Hice una llamada con mi móvil. (hacer = irregular)

The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English, how to change the infinitive (in brackets) into the preterite and to drill.

The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "what's missing?" slides. The next slide has pictures of all the new vocabulary. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love!
The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If it’s the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!

The finals slides remind us of the rules elicited:
Salir - salí, comer - comí
How do you form the preterite for regular verbs?
Remove the er/ir and add í e.g. Salir  salí
Here are the other endings: ió, imos, ieron, iste, isteis. Can you conjugate the verb salir?
I went out =
You went out =
He/She/You went out =
We went out =
You went out =
They/ you went out =
Extra: conjugate comer and beber.


I went out = salí
You went out = saliste
He/She/You went out = salió
We went out = salimos
You went out = salisteis
They/ you went out = salieron
