- we add to the "to form" of the verb
- the stress moves to the end of the word or "into the future"; and
- there is one set of endings for all verbs -AR, -ER and -IR
The key sound is "ía"
- bailaría - I, He, She, It and You (formal) would dance
- bailaríamos - We would dance
- bailarías - You (informal) would dance
- bailarían - They would dance
Which brings me to my video today, like Doris Day, Annie Lennox will help me remember this particular future tense. Would I Lie to You? - ¿Te mentiría? - Right?
Also today Ismar had us listen to the first Duolingo Podcast (with the transcript). Anouska posted a YouTube video from the Duolingo channel which had the transcript simultaneously playing with the sound, which was helpful. Sadly they don't have all the podcasts. But they did have this one, which is one of my favorites. Do you have a favorite?
I love a bit of 80´s music! That future tense track was good. I had seen ía so much when reading so it´s great to finally make sense of it.
ReplyDeleteThat was my first Duolingo podcast….glad I realized there was a transcript for it…,much easier to understand!
ReplyDeleteLove Annie! A bit off track, but if you haven’t heard this Annie Lennox story, you’ll love this!!

That's a great story, thank you for sharing Joyce. She was probably mortified when she found out, but I agree, she had great taste and I good ear.
DeleteOooooo, she must have been sooooo excited! LOL
ReplyDeleteooh what a great idea to listen to music after the lesson to solidify your understanding. well done =D
ReplyDeleteThanks Summy, I figure the more connections we make, the more we internalize it. Plus my memory isn't what it used to be!
