You already watched the video blog about Marisa and her friend Andrea. You saw how Marisa used rephrasing in the video to help A
ndrea understand her. For example: In the video, our blogger said:
Marisa: No Andrea, no estoy mal. Tampoco estoy triste.
Andrea: ¿Qué?
Marisa: Estoy bien, pero tengo mucho calor.
Now, imagine that you are the one having the conversation with Andrea. Read the following dialogue and rephrase your sentences by using the estar and tener expressions from this lesson to help Andrea better understand what you are trying to express.
You: “No estoy bien.”
Andrea: “¿Qué?”
You: (To help Andrea better understand what you are trying to express, rephrase your statement .)
You: “Estoy emocionado (or emocionada).”
Andrea: “Emocionado ( or emocionada). “¿Qué? No entiendo.”
You: (To help Andrea better understand what you are feeling, use a different TENER or ESTAR feelings phrase that is similar to the feeling stated.)
You ask HOW to do this???? Simply follow the instructions as provided at the top: 'Conjugar en el pretérito los siguientes verbos.' (Conjugate the verbs into the simple past tense.)
