Opinions & Reasons

I can state an opinion, explain it, agree/disagree, and connect a short explanation.

What you will learnState an opinion, explain why, agree or disagree, soften certainty, and connect a short explanation.
What you are learningBuild connected opinion turns while adding -mente and neuter-lo patterns you have learned plus five cognate patterns.
How to know you're readyGive a changed opinion with connected reasons and an appropriate response. Reveal can help you learn; try the same skill again without Reveal to check yourself.
Lesson 1

State an Opinion

What you are learning:I can give a simple opinion using creo que or pienso que.

Spanish can state a straightforward affirmative opinion with a compact opinion phrase pattern. At this stage, keep the statement asserted and familiar; later doubt/subjunctive patterns are saved for a later module.

Module 47 Examples
creo
I think / I believe — opinion form
New Module 47 form.
pienso
I think — opinion form
New Module 47 form.
creo que… · pienso que…
I think / believe that …
Use the phrase pattern with an already learned statement.
Creo que es importante.
I think it is important.
learned example using familiar es + importante.
Pienso que es posible.
I think it is possible.
learned example using familiar es + posible.

Lesson 2

Building Blocks: -ity → -idad

What you are learning:I can recognize activity ↔ actividad and use that example to discover true -ity → -idad cognates.

Learn one example only. The pattern can now be used for using the pattern to recognize new cognates after the relationship is introduced; it is not a vocabulary list to memorize.

Module 47 Examples
actividad
activity
example teaching only.
English-ity↔ Spanish-idad
true cognates noun relationship
About 200+ useful words follow this pattern. Use the pattern only for true cognates; do not guess.
How to use this pattern:only the example is learned here. other true cognates in the pattern may appear later in Practice Rolls after you learn the pattern; the other cognates in the pattern are not shown in advance as a vocabulary list.

Lesson 3

Explain Why

What you are learning:I can explain why I hold an opinion.

No new grammar pattern is needed: combine the opinion phrase pattern with the already learned reason connector porque, or mark the result with por eso.

Module 47 Examples
creo que… porque…
I think … because …
Reasoned-opinion Combined Practice; no new vocabulary pattern.
por eso…
therefore / because of that …

Lesson 7 · neuter lo

LO + Adjective / LO QUE

What you are learning:I can use neuter lo for an abstract quality or idea and keep it distinct from direct-object lo.

Here lo does not point to a masculine noun. lo + adjective abstracts a quality; lo que + an already learned clause means what / that which.

lo importante
what is important / the important thing
Abstract quality; not masculine-object lo.
lo bueno
what is good / the good thing
Abstract quality.
lo difícil

Abstract quality.
lo que + clause

Only already learned clauses may follow.
