|
| 14 |
7c. This is one place in these lists where you can leave out the accent on "él" and "tú", if you decide to use them. For the English answer, the pronoun is required. You don't need parentheses for either side. |

9a. INFORMAL AND FORMAL YOU - On the English side of these flashcards, the informal "you" will appear in all lower case letters unless it begins a sentence in which case it will appear as "You"... |
25 |
|
| 19 |
9b. The formal, singular "YOU" will appear in all upper case letters. The plural "YOU" will appear as "YOU all" with the "YOU" in upper case and the "all" in lower case. |
26 |
|
| 20 |
9c. Variation of this are "YOU're" and "YOU're all". When any form of this pronoun is underlined, it means that the pronoun should appear in the Spanish translation. |

6 |
|
| 25 |
3c. ..."la" for the Spanish) or leave it out. I think it's a good idea to use "el" or "la" because some nouns are foolers. The accent is required if the character needs it. (Use the arrow keys.) |
7 |
|
| 26 |
4a. VERB INFINITIVES - These are verbs from the vocabulary listing of each lesson and others in the lesson itself. The "infinitive" is the verb form that you will find in a dictionary. Additional verbs may be included... |
