Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Form the Spanish contractions al (a + el) and del (de + el) correctly

  • Choose the correct contracted or uncontracted form (al, del, a la, de la, a los, de los) to complete a sentence

  • Identify and correct sentences that incorrectly use 'a el' or 'de el' instead of the proper contraction

Teaching tips

  • On page 4, expand the choices for estantería, sala and niña to include a la and de la. Do not force al or del before those feminine nouns.

  • Use page 7 as phrase rewriting, or supply your own matching choices. Pages 2, 3 and 5 have English directions; introduce the Spanish directions on the other pages.

Skills covered

  • Spanish contraction formation — students combine a + el and de + el into al and del across multiple worksheet formats.

  • Contextual sentence completion — students choose a preposition-and-article phrase to complete a Spanish sentence, using the corrected word choices.

  • Error correction — students rewrite sentences that incorrectly use uncontracted 'a el' or 'de el' with the proper contraction.
