th
Rising 5 Grade
Summer Review Packet
This packet is designed to review Spanish grammar concepts that were learned
in 4th grade. This packet is to be completed throughout the summer vacation. It
has been broken into 10 weeks and it is designed this way to help the student
review and re-enforce the concepts that they have already learned. I
recommend one exercise per week to avoid doing multiple exercises at one time.
It will be much more beneficial to the student this way. The students will
receive a grade for this packet when they return and there will also be a test.
Enjoy your summer and remember to speak lots of Spanish. ¡Adios!

Grammar Notes

This section of your packet will help you if you have forgotten a section. Please feel
free to read over any of these sections you feel you may not understand completely.
This Grammar review is here to help you.
Part 1: Nouns
A noun represents a person or an animal, a thing, a place, or an idea.
All Spanish nouns have gender - they are either masculine or feminine.
Most nouns that end in -o are masculine, and most nouns that end in -a are feminine.
el libro
la carpeta
masculine gender
feminine gender
Nouns ending in letters other than -o or -a do not automatically tell you their gender. The
gender of these nouns is learned through practice.
el lápiz
la clase
masculine gender
feminine gender
A few nouns can be both masculine and feminine.
el estudiante
la estudiante
masculine gender
feminine gender
Part 2: Definite Articles
The singular definite article in English is "the."
Spanish has two singular definite articles: el for masculine nouns and la for feminine nouns.
el bolígrafo
la mochila
the pen
the backpack
Part 3: Indefinite Articles
The singular indefinite article in English is "a" or "an."
Spanish has two singular indefinite articles: un for masculine nouns and una for feminine nouns.
un bolígrafo
a pen
una mochila
a backpack

Part 4: Subject pronouns
We use pronouns to avoid repeating a person's name. Subject pronouns tell who is doing an
action.
Mary works in a gift shop.
She often works on Saturdays.
Singular
Plural
I
yo
we (m.)
we (f.)
nosotros
nosotras
you
(informal)
tú
you (inf.)
vosotros
vosotras
you
(formal)
usted
you (form.
& inf.)
ustedes
he
él
they (m.)
ellos
she
ella
they (f.)
ellas
Part 5: Regular -ar Verbs
The dictionary form of a verb is called the infinitive.
estudiar = to study
We must change the infinitive to a form that tells who is doing the action. To do this, we first
drop the -ar.
estudi + ar = infinitive
Then, we add endings.
Singular
Plural
8
yo
estudio
nosotros(as)
estudiamos
tú
estudias
vosotros(as)
xxxx
él, ella, usted
estudia
ellos, ellas, ustedes
estudian
Now we can say
Ella estudia. She studies.
instead of saying
Ella estudiar. She to study.
