In order to practice identifying nouns and
adjectives, play a simple game with the
class. One student calls out a word from this
section. Then the class answers back if the
word is a noun
(nombre)
or an adjective
(adjetivo)
. You may also ask students if the
noun or adjective is masculine
(masculino)
or feminine
(femenino)
.
