SPANISH 311 Lecture 18: April 5, 2016
Document Summary
When using a verb to communicate such as decir, you must add the conjunction, que . When reporting a direct question, add the conjunction, si . Ana le pregunt a ram n si estaba cansado. However, when there is an interrogative (qu , d nde, cu ndo, cu l, etc), do not use si . Patricia le pregunt a paula qu quer a ella. If the first or second person is being converted to third person, you must make this clear. There should be a change from the present to past tense. However, do not switch from the two tenses too much, or it will be incoherent. Transform all of the first person to third person. Remember that sin embargo requires a comma: sin embargo, Trasfondo: present the main characters and situation. Complicaci n: the climax -- the most important point. The main characters should be well defined. The tense should be consistent with the actions.
