Key learning points
- Sound-symbol correspondence [ce] is different in Spanish and English and benefits from frequent practice.
- Practising nouns helps us remember the word and the gender.
- A conjunction is a word that is used to connect words and phrases; the Spanish conjunction 'y' means 'and'.
- 'y' can connect two nouns in a sentence. E.g., Tengo una mochila y un bolígrafo.
