Lesson 45. Module 9 review and test
review: tener que / hay que, puedo + infinitive, voy a + infinitive, weather
What module 9 covered
| Lesson | Topic | Key points |
|---|---|---|
| 41 | Have to | tengo que + infinitive; hay que — general requirement; no debes — you shouldn’t |
| 42 | Can I? | ¿Puedo abrir…?, ¿Puedes esperar…?, Quiero descansar |
| 43 | Plans | voy a + infinitive; esta noche, la próxima semana, el año que viene |
| 44 | Weather | hace calor / frío / sol; llueve, nieva; seasons |
Several patterns in this module use a conjugated verb followed by an infinitive. The link differs: tener que, ir a, and no link after poder and querer. In hay que, hay stays the same for everyone.
How the test works
Below are 12 tasks: they cover every lesson of the module, and one goes back to module 8. 10 correct answers on the first try means you’ve passed the module. If you make more mistakes, go back to the lessons where they happened:
- tengo que, hay que → lesson 41;
- puedo, quiero + infinitive → lesson 42;
- voy a + infinitive, el mes que viene → lesson 43;
- hace frío, llueve, nieva → lesson 44;
- con / sin → lesson 38.
Tengo que hacer la compra. — I have to do the grocery shopping.
¿Puedo ir contigo? — Can I come with you?
Mañana va a llover. — It's going to rain tomorrow.
