Chapters 5 and 6

The most important thing we have learned from the two chapters is the impersonal se. Se is used to refer to people in general. When we use "se" there is not a subject in the sentence. Se + the verb is how the sentence is written. For example, "Se juega balero con una taza y una pelota." There are two forms of the verb that get used when writing with the impersonal se. There is the third person singular and the third person plural. The form used in the sentence goes with what you are talkin about. For example "Se corta la papa" or "Se cortan las papas." The verb used is conjugated just like gustar is.
We also learned a new way to use estar. We can use estar when describing something permanent such as height, but only when we are using it to say something like "Wow, you are so tall!!" The reason for using estar here would be to use it as like, "Wow, you have grown so much." The persons height is a shock and something new wto you although it is permanent.
I really enjoyed everyones projects today!! I hope you all do very well on the test, and all of your other finals too! I am going to miss this class and everyone in it!!
