Instructions
We are going to change the perspective of some parts of the versión alternativa (p.5)of the story "Una invitación de Instagram". This version of the story is written in the first person, or the "yo" form, because Elvira is telling the story about herself. When we change the perspective, we will have to change many of the verb forms. You can refer back to this chart for a reminder about verb endings for each group of verbs (-ar, -er, and -ir).
| Subject | -ar endings | -er endings | -ir endings |
| yo | -o | -o | -o |
| tú | -as | -es | -es |
| usted, él, ella | -a | -e | -e |
| nosotros | -amos | -emos | -imos |
| ustedes, ellos, ellas | -an | -en | -en |
There are also some irregular verbs in this story (they don't follow the pattern above). Here are some of them:
|
SER = to be (for permanent things like physical appearance, profession, personality) |
ESTAR = to be (for temporary things, like feelings and location) |
| yo soy | yo estoy |
| tú eres | tú estás |
| usted/él/ella es | usted/él/ella está |
| nosotros somos | nosotros estamos |
| ustedes/ellos/ellos son | ustedes/ellos/ellas están |
Here is a summary of the story in the first person, as it is written in the versión alternativa. You can also use p.5 of the 2A Reader Packet and your Verb Grid notes.
