You are to do for homework 1A-6, we will do 1A-7 in class next week as well as some worksheets for practice and we will continue to practice on stem changing verbs as well. Here are the notes for aff/neg words: In Spanish, special words are used to talk about indefinite or negative situations. The following words are used to talk about indefinite situations: Algo something Alguien someone Algún/Alguno(a) some Here are some more words to talk about indefinite situations: Siempre always También also The following words are used to talk about negative situations: Nada nothing Nadie no oneNingún/Ninguno(a) none, not any Here are some more words to talk about negative situations: Nunca never Tampoco neither/either Alguno(a) and ninguno(a) have different forms depending on the kind of words with which they are used. Alguno and ninguno must agree in gender with the noun they replace or accompany. When alguno and ninguno are followed by a masculine singular noun use: algún ningún Make alguno and ninguno match with the following noun: chico algún chico ningún chico Make alguno and ninguno match with the following noun: maestra alguna maestra ninguna maestra In Spanish, when the word “no” comes before the verb, the words that follow the verb must also be negative. A double negative is required when “no” is placed before the verb. Double negative: Yo no como nada para el almuerzo. I’m not eating anything for lunch. If a negative word, like nunca or nadie, preceeds the verb the double negative is not used. Yo nunca cantar. I never sing. Nadie en la clase habla italiano. No one in class speaks Italian.
