Verbos en Acción
Verbs in Action
The pattern workshop: after four years of using verbs, students finally SEE the machine — -ar, -er, -ir present tense, made visible through the words they already own.
Unit objectives
- Recognize the three verb families
- Conjugate familiar -ar/-er/-ir verbs in yo/tú/él forms
- Sort four years of known verbs into families
- Build original sentences from a verb menu
Can-Do targets
- I can spot which family a verb belongs to.
- I can change a verb to say I, you, or he/she.
- I can build my own sentences with correct verb endings.
Vocabulary scope
hablar, comer, vivir, estudiar, correr, escribir + the conjugation frame: -o, -as, -a / -o, -es, -e
How this unit builds
THE grammar milestone: years of absorbed patterns become conscious tools. Every future tense — Grade 5’s future, Grade 7’s past — hangs on this frame.
What this unit will contain
Lessons are produced in the same fully interactive format as Kindergarten — flashcards with audio, games, listening tasks, and take-home activities — and will unlock here as they are finished.
Las tres familias — the families
Yo y tú — first conjugations
Él y ella — talking about others
La máquina de oraciones — sentence building
One system, twenty countries
The same verb system works from Madrid to Manila to Montevideo — with delightful regional flavors (vos in Argentina!) that students preview like dialect postcards.
