Help your Spanish students work through understanding the difference between Saber and Conocer with these pre-made, no-prep digital or printable activities! Start with some direct instruction with the grammar notes, including how they change meaning in the preterite tense. There are 2 basic practice activities where students analyze a sentence for meaning to choose the correct verb and practice conjugating. The last activity is an interactive Google Slides presentation where students have 2 different drag and drop practices; one asks them to form complete sentences by dragging and dropping tiles together, and the other asks students to match the correct conjugated verb (tense and form) to the English sentence to illustrate the differences in meaning between preterite and imperfect.

There are a few tricks to using these verbs correctly, like "the personal a" with the verb conocer, or the word "que" to mean that when expressing a fact. These notes and practices help students utilize the verbs and the extra grammar points correctly.

Not ready to practice with the preterite and imperfect yet? Just edit these Google docs to your liking!

Who can use this product?

• Students in Year 2 and above if you want to include preterite and imperfect
• Students in Year 1 if you only need present tense

How can I use this product?

• Start with guided instruction using the grammar notes
• Assign the practice sheets for whole class, partner work or individual work
• These practices sheets can be assigned via Google Classroom or can be printed
• Practice sheets can be used as formative assessment as well
• When students are ready for independent work, assign the Drag and Drop activity. This assignment can only be assigned digitally as it is an interactive Google Slide Show. This replaces physical manipulatives and allows students to be creative with language!

What's included in this product?
