Today's conversation

Lets break this conversation downand learn to translate it step by step

Hola! Mi nombre es Mark


13/59

Bridging the language gap

Now, if you're new in a Spanish speaking

country, it is important to understand howto ask and answer questions related to

which languages one speaks


14/59


Do you speak Spanish?

t hablar espaol?


15/59

Did you notice?

'Do' is not translated here

This is because to form a question for thestatement'You speak Spanish'we just add?before and after the statement so 'do'doesn't need to be translated separately


16/59


Doyou speak Spanish?

thablar espaol?


17/59

Grammar tip

Remember how verbs change their formdepending

on the subject? Do you recollect the forms of verbsending in arthat we learnt in the last lesson?

To speak =Habl-arYou (informal) speak = T hablas


18/59


Doyou speak Spanish?

(t) hablas espaol


19/59

Grammar tip

You (informal, sing.) speak Spanish = (T)hablas espaol

Since the verb makes the pronoun clear (secondperson, informal), we can omitT


20/59

Grammar tip

You speak Spanish =Hablas espaol

Remember, to turn it into a question we just

put ?

Hence,

Do you speak Spanish = Hablas espaol?


21/59

So our question translates as..

Do you speak Spanish?

Hablas espaol?


22/59

Grammar tip

You (informal, sing.) speak Spanish = (T)hablas espaolHowever!

You (formal, sing.) speak Spanish = Ustedhabla espaol

Now, while we could omitT, we cannot omit'Usted'as it is not obvious

Habla could associate with 'usted/l/ella'hence tobe clear it is essential to use the pronoun


23/59

Grammar tip

Do you remember that we never capitalize

language names in Spanish?Hence, espaolis written with a smalle


24/59

Moving on...

Alright, now that you know how to asksomeone if they speak a particular

language, lets also learn how you wouldanswer that question


25/59
