In this exercise, you need to use the words and phrases in the box to write a paragraph about your classes, your classmates, your teachers, and what you do during a typical day at school.

We’ll start by separating the nouns from the verbs and the places, times, and activities.
Nouns:
-yo (I)
-mi amigo(a) (my friend)
-el(la) profesor(a) (the teacher)
-nosotros (we)
-las clases (the classes)
-mis amigos (my friends)

Verbs, with the (first person singular, third person singular, third person plural, and second person plural) conjugations:
-almorzar (almuerzo, almuerza, almuerzan, almorzamos)
-empezar (empiezo, empieza, empiezan, empezamos)
-(no) dormir (no duermo, no duerme, no duermen, no dormimos)
-(no) entender (no entiendo, no entiende, no entienden, no entendemos)
-preferir (prefiero, prefiere, prefieren, preferimos)
-querer (quiero, quiere, quieren, queremos)

Places, times, and activities:
-durante la clase (during the class)
-en la cafetería (in the cafeteria)
-en la clase de (in ___ class)
-muy temprano (really early)
-sacar buenas/malas notas (get good/bad grades)

Now, you need to choose one of each of the three parts of speech and use the provided conjugations to form sentences. You can combine the expressions however you like and join the sentences to form a paragraph. The following solutions are only some of the many combinations that are possible.

Yo almuerzo en la cafetería de la escuela.
Mi amiga no duerme nunca en la clase de historia.
El profesor prefiere explicar las cosas bien en la clase de física.
Nosotros no entendemos porque sacamos malas notas en la clase de matemáticas.
Las clases empiezan muy temprano algunos días pero no todos.
