I-Y preterite verbs | Grammar in Context

These two-page fill-in notes review regular preterite conjugations and then introduce students to verbs with i-y spelling changes in the preterite tense (ex: leer, caer, creer, etc.). They also feature an adaptation of the Three Little Pigs in which students can see these changes happening in context.

We recommend giving these notes after exposing students to i-y verb changers in context with this storytelling unit: RUIDOS EN LA NOCHE

WHAT IS GRAMMAR IN CONTEXT?

Grammar in Context lessons from The Comprehensible Classroom are designed to create opportunities for students to notice grammar patterns as they are used in context. Every Grammar in Context lesson includes brief guided notes in English about the grammar pattern, followed by at least one Spanish-language reading that includes many instances of the pattern at hand plus activities that draw students' attention to the role it plays in creating meaning.

Grammar in Context lessons are not designed to be grammar practice for students, nor are they expected to result in the mastery of a grammar concept. Grammar in Context is a more acquisition-focused approach to grammar instruction; noticing the ways in which unique linguistic features impact the overall meaning of an utterance.
