ACTIVATION OF PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
CONCEPTUAL SCOPE

The noun or name


It is that uncle of words whose meaning determines reality. That is,
nouns name all things:
persons, objects, sensations, feelings, ideas, etc.
Classes of nouns:
1. contable (coche) /incontable (leche)
2. iroiio (Juan) / common (ian)
3. simile (iuerta) / comiuesto (lavacoches)
4. concreto (almacén) / abstracto (belleza)
The Adjective
The adjective is the word that accompanies the noun and agrees with it in gender and number.

The function of the adjective is to characterize the noun or limit its meaning. The adjective is placed
Usually behind the noun, iero can be placed before it to reinforce its
value. Some adjectives change their meaning when placed before the noun. For example:

a poor woman (unhappy or insignificant woman) a poor woman (woman without money)
ACTIVITY Nº1

Observe the drawing and write three adjectives.

The adjective agrees with the noun it accompanies, that is, it must always have the same gender.
gender and number that the noun refers to. Thus, in the previous example, as the
The noun 'ilato' is masculine and singular, the adjective has to be limited in masculine and
singular. If the noun were the ilatos (masculine, plural), we would have to say limiios.
(male, plural).

Adjectives can be Qualifying or Determining.

Adjectives serve to qualify or give a characteristic to the noun, that is,


They add qualities to the noun. Depending on how to express that quality, they can
serExplanations or Specifications.

They explain when you express a quality that derives from the substantive irony, highlighting
that quality. They usually go before the noun, and are more commonly used in the language
literary.

Adjectives are classified into qualificative and determinative. Qualificative adjectives are the
that express a quality of the noun (intelligent, green, traitors, etc.)

The determinative adjectives are those that delimit the extent to which it is taken.
substantive establishing a relationship with grammatical persons (their friends), the position
(those friends) or the quantity (three friends)

THE PRONOUNS

pronoun means 'instead of the name', 'in place of the name' or 'in lieu of the name'. With this
meaning implies its condition as a substitute word. Substitute for what?
Traditionally, it was said that you were a substitute for the noun or name, and today it is talked about
what constitutes the noun phrase.
The ironames mean and flexibilize the expression, avoiding misguided rejections. Always
they have a background, explicit or implied.

Irony does not have value in itself, but rather representatively; its identity is given by
the noun referred to in each case.

Irony names are characterized by not having a concrete meaning. Rather, they have functions.
to accumulate.
Thus, the ironous personal pronouns must signify or indicate the person of the conversation.

the demonstrative pronouns signify or indicate their situation

the numerals, their quantity

the relatives, their relationship with other words

the possessives, the belonging; the indefinites, the null quantity.

To get into the matter, let's look at the following example:

Maríairactca various deiortes. She is a great


deiortsta.

In the two previous sentences, we are referring to the same person (Maria). In the first one
we say her name; while in the second we use a pronoun: she.

Now we can say that

Pronouns are the words that indicate or represent people or things.


objects refer to facts already known by the speaker and the listener.

We could also say that they are words that substitute or replace names or
nouns or the entire noun phrase.

We have several types of pronouns:

Personal Possessives Demonstration of demonstration

Numerals Undefined Interrogatives

Reflexives exclamatory Relatives

Personal pronouns
Let's look at the following examples:

I read a book. You read a book. He or she reads a


book

[Link]á[Link].

The words highlighted in red in the previous table refer to people who perform
an action, whose names are not mentioned. They are personal pronouns.

The personal pronouns are the only part of the sentence that is declined in Spanish. That is,
there are different ways to perform various functions of completion in the sentence.

For example, the personal pronoun can take the forms of me, with me, according to
the function that fulfills. Thus it can be Subject (I), it can be prepositional complement (me,
with me), or it can be a direct object (me) and it can also be a complement
indirect (me).

Modifiers. They are invariable, as they have no gender or number.

In the drawing, we see that a car is speeding a lot and a child is running a little. A tree.
He is close and another is far away. The teacher is speaking to the children. The words a lot and
Little modifies the verb 'runs'. The words near and far modify the verb 'is'.

b) The adverb can modify the meaning of an adjective. Examples: it was a
quite old house (quite modifies the adjective old). Luther strictly famous, is

c) The adverb can also modify another adverb. Examples: Montse

The words fast and slowly are adverbs.

According to their meaning, adverbs can be:

OF TIME: today, yesterday, tomorrow, afternoon, soon, now, before, after, never, etc.

DOUBTFULLY: perhaps, maybe, possibly, probably, etc.

THE PREPOSITIONS

words, sentences, and even propositions denoting the relationship they have with each other. The
prepositions can indicate origin, provenance, instrument, destination, time, cause,
direction, place, means, purpose, starting point, reason, etc.

Las preposiciones son: a, ante, bajo, con, de, desde, durante, en, entre, excepto, hacia,
["until","by means of","for","by","except","according to","without","on","and after"]
Classification of prepositions.
The separable prepositions, in total, are nineteen:
since
a against for
before in according to
low between without
head toward so
with until about
of for back

These prepositions are classified into various groups based on the meaning they attribute to
the qualifying expressions, although some encompass more than one:
Prepositions of place — that specifically assign content of place: to,
["of","in","between","toward","for","after"]
Time prepositions — that locate an event in time: at, with, of,
["from","in","for","by","about"]

ACTIVITY N° 2

Locate and underline the prepositions that appear in the following text:

Reading is of great importance in the process of development and maturation of the


children. For a few years now, there has been a growing interest among parents in the
reading of their children, perhaps because they know —they are told this by the media
communication—the relationship that exists between reading and school performance.

From these pages, I would like to make you aware that the educational potential of the
reading goes beyond success in studies; reading provides culture, develops the
aesthetic sense, acts on the formation of personality, is a source of recreation and
joy

Reading is a vehicle for learning, for the development of intelligence,


for the acquisition of culture and for the education of the will.

although they serve in the sentences to relate some of their
elements, making the entire sentence acquire an expressive sense
complete.
Conjunctions are classified into different groups, based on their function.
they fulfill the relationship of the components of a sentence.
