Números 31-100
(Capítulo 1 pg. 48)
 The numbers from 31-100 have just about the
same pattern as the previous numbers.
 Let’s look at how we say numbers 31-39
31 – treinta y uno
32 – treinta y dos
33 – treinta y tres
34 – treinta y cuatro
35 – treinta y cinco
36 – treinta y seis
37 – treinta y siete
38 – treinta y ocho
39 – treinta y nueve
Do you see the pattern?
Base word is “treinta”
Add the word “and” which is “y”
Add the single digit number
Números 31-100 Continued
 The numbers will
follow this same
pattern all the way up
through 99
40 cuarenta
50 cincuenta
60 seisenta
70 setenta
80 ochenta
90 noventa
 When we reach 100
we say “cien”
 A note about numbers
 A decimal point is replaced with a
comma in Spanish
 25.5% would be 25,5%
 and a comma is replaced with a
decimal point
 124,897,046 is 124.897.046
in Spanish
Practica con los números
 Let’s try some math problems
 The operations are as follows:
 Más means + (plus)
 Menos means – (minus)
 Son means = (equals)
 Por means x (times; by)
 Dividido por / (divided by)
 Example
 18 – 6 =
 Dieciocho menos seis son doce.
 Now you try…
 Use the Activity Template for Session 3 (located on our website) to complete the
following activity
 Do numbers 1, 2, 5, and 7 from Act. 1-30 text pg. 49
tener = to have (text pg. 35)
 Tener is an irregular –er verb
which means it won’t follow the
conjugation pattern for regular
–er verbs
 The conjugations are as
follows:
yo
nosotros
tengo
nosotras
tenemos
tú
tienes
vosotros
vosotras
tenéis
él, ella, Ud.
tiene
ellos, ellas,
Uds.
tienen
Uses of tener
 Tener is used to talk about what someone or something
has
 Examples:
 I have a cat. = Yo tengo un gato.
 You (familiar) have blue eyes. = Tú tienes ojos azules.*
 *eye color as well as hair color is listed on the resource page you
were given last time…it’s on the same page as the list of adjectives
 It’s used to indicate age using tener + age + años
 Example: Yo tengo 16(dieciséis) años. Literally means “I have 16
years.” However, we know it to mean, “I am 16 years old.”
Uses of tener (continued)
 It’s used with a variety of expressions:
 tener calor/tener frío = to be warm(hot)/to be cold
 La temperatura hace 105°. ¡Yo tengo calor! = It’s 105 degrees. I am
hot!
 tener hambre/tener sed = to be hungry/to be thirsty
 Nosotros tenemos hambre. = We are hungry.
 tener miedo = to be scared
 Ay! ¡Hay una araña muy grande! ¡Yo tengo miedo! = AH! There’s a
really big spider! I’m scared!
 tener dolor = to be in pain
 Yo tengo dolor de cabeza. = I have a headache.
One more use of tener…
If we want to say “to have to do…” we use
tener + que + infinitive
Example: Tengo que ir a la tienda.= I have to go
to the store.
Infinitive (the verb “ir”
stays in its original form
and means “to go”)
Practice Activities (to complete on Activity
Template)
Text pg. 35 Act. 1-6 #s 1-6
Text pg. 35 Act. 1-7 #s 2, 3, 5, 8, 10
La Familia – Vocabulario
(Text pg. 32)
A few notes…
Possession is indicated by the word “de”
There are no apostrophes in Spanish
La familia de Eduardo means Eduardo’s
family (literally means The family of
Eduardo)
La Familia – Vocabulario
(Text pg. 32)
 Please review the vocab words on page 32 on your own
 We will use them to complete some practice activities
 Note: In keeping with the “de” rule to indicate relationships and take the
place of apostrophes, to say “Eduardo’s sister” we would say “La
hermana de Eduardo.” To say “Eduardo’s grandparents” we would say
“Los abuelos de Eduardo.”
 To say, “She is Eduardo’s sister” you would say “Ella es la hermana de
Eduardo.”
 Use the Activity Template to complete the following:
 Act. 1-16 on page 40 of your text. Do numbers 1-6.
 Act. 1-17 pg. 40 fill-in-the-blanks
Adjetivos Posesivos (text pg. 42)
 Possessive adjectives
are the words that
mean my, your, his,
her, its, our, and their
 In Spanish they are:
mi, mis
(my)
tu, tus
(your)
su, sus
(his, her, its,
your)
nuestro
nuestra
nuestros
nuestras
(our)
vuestro
vuestra
vuestros
vuestras
(your)
su, sus
(their, your)
Notes about possessive adjectives…
 Possessive adjectives agree in form with the person, place, or thing
possessed, NOT with the possessor
 Let’s say we have the following people: Laura and José. They are describing
their house to you so they would begin by saying, “Our house…” Well, they
would say, “Nuestra casa…” because the noun casa is feminine and singular so
the possessive adjective nuestra would also need to be feminine and singular.
Therefore, this rule states that they would NOT use nuestro even though José is
talking and he’s a male.
 Possessive adjectives MUST agree in number (singular or plural) AND
gender (masculine or feminine) with the noun
 Mi amiga es simpática – My friend is nice. (singular noun amiga, singular
possessive adjective mi)
 Nuestro perro se llama Sparky. – Our dog’s name is Sparky. (singular/masculine
noun perro and singular/masculine possessive adjective nuestro)
A few more notes…
 Tu/tus are used in the familiar whereas su/sus are used with the
formal
 As a possessive adjective, the word tu does NOT have an accent
mark as the subject pronoun tú does.
 Practice Activities:
 Act. 1-20 pg. 43 in text #s1-6
 Act. 1-21 pg. 43 in text #s1-7
Expresiones con gustar
(text pg. 25 and 82)
The verb “gustar” means “to like”
However, it is mainly used with certain
expressions called “gustar expressions”
Me gusta means I like
¿Qué te gusta? means What do you like?
Me gusta (continued)
 To express something you like you say
Me gusta…
 To express something you don’t like you say
No me gusta…
 “Gustar” expressions can be used with nouns or
verbs/activities
with a noun: Me gusta el arte. = I like art.
with a verb/activity: Me gusta bailar. = I like to dance.
Asking, “Do you like…”
To ask someone what he/she likes you
say,
¿Qué te gusta? – What do you like?
 ¿Te gusta el arte? – Do you like art?
To ask someone what he/she likes to do
you say
¿Qué te gusta hacer? – What do you like to do?
¿Te gusta escuchar música? – Do you like to
listen to music?
Notes with “gustar” expressions…
Use Me gusta with singular nouns or one
activity after it
Me gusta la película. – I like the movie.
Use Me gustan with plural nouns or more
than one activity after it
Me gustan las películas. – I like the movies.
Putting it all together…
So to ask and answer a question with
“gustar” we’d say:
 ¿Te gusta bailar? – Do you like to dance?
 Sí, me gusta bailar. – Yes, I like to dance. OR…
 No, no me gusta bailar. – No I don’t like to dance.
 ¿Te gustan las clases de ciencias? – Do you like science
classes?
 Sí, me gustan las clases de ciencias. – Yes, I like science
classes. OR…
 No, no me gustan las clases de ciencias.
science classes.
– No I don’t like
All “gustar” expressions
 Most likely we will not want to only talk
about ourselves and what we like to
do, right? So in this chart, you will
discover how to say the other “gustar”
expressions that talk about what other
people like.
 Examples:
 She likes to exercise. – Le gusta
hacer ejercicio.
 We like to watch T.V. – Nos gusta
ver la tele.
 They don’t like to sunbathe. – No
les gusta tomar el sol.

Cultura
 Family Names in Spanish (text pg. 34) – Please
read on your own as this is simply an overview
 In Spanish-speaking countries it is common for people to use both
paternal and maternal last names.
 Pedro Martín Jiménez
Paternal last
name
Maternal last name
 This would be helpful for phonebook listings, tracking one’s heritage,
and keeping family names
 When a woman marries, she is most likely to keep her father’s last
name but give up her mother’s last name
 She will take her husband’s last name which will be preceded by the
word “de” which we learned earlier means “of.”
