Capítulo 5

Hoy y el fin de semana pasado

Directions:

Answer the following questions in order. Be sure to use complete sentences (subject

and verb), punctuation, and accent marks. Begin each sentence with a capital letter

and use end punctuation. Watch for agreement! When you have finished, you will have

completed an interesting essay about your daily routine and what you did last weekend.

Write 100-120 words. Use the verbs and vocabulary from Chapter 5. Use more than

one sentence to develop your answers for each question. Use the present tense

and the preterite tense.

Use at least five connectors to help your composition flow. Your instructor will also provide you with a more comprehensive list.

primero-first

luego-then, later

también-also

de hecho-in fact

a mi parecer-in my opinion

así que-so, therefore

ya que-since/seeing that

sin duda-without a doubt

por ejemplo-for example

además-besides/furthermore

finalmente-finally

antes de + infinitive- before (action)

en conclusión-in conclusion

después de + infinitive- after (action)

1. ¿Cómo te llamas y de dónde eres? ¿Cómo es un día típico entre semana (during the week)

…por la mañana? …por la tarde? …por la noche?

2. ¿Dónde estudias? ¿Qué cursos llevas? ¿Estudias los fines de semana?¿ Qué haces cuando tienes tiempo libre?

4. Cuando estás de vacaciones, ¿qué actividades te gusta hacer? Menciona 5 actividades

5. ¿Qué ciudades grandes te gustan ? ¿Qué ciudades, países o lugares quieres visitar ?

Since you will now start another paragraph using the past tense (the preterite), use a connector to transition into another idea.

para continuar-to continue

con respecto a-with respect to/regarding

en cuanto a-regarding

como-as/in as much as

pero-but

6. ¿Qué hiciste anoche? ¿Hiciste los quehaceres?

7. ¿ Qué hiciste el sábado pasado? (Usa: primero, luego, después y finalmente)
