575 Advanced Spanish Verbs with 3, 4 or 5 usage sentences
Major Update! 22nd January 2018 - audio added.
Level: Advanced (subjunctive tense instances)
This is a deck of 575 spanish verbs grouped together with example sentences (thanks to Toni Peter for shuffling the verb card groups so they are not alphabetical as suggested in the review below). A card with the infinitive form of the verb shows first, followed by at least 3 sample sentences (including idiomatic examples), with different pronouns so you get a broad exposure to the various conjugations.
(Card # 2677) Front: traer Back: to bring, to wear
(Card # 2678) Front: Traje el traje azul. Back: I brought the blue suit.
(Card # 2679) Front: Ella trae un bonito vestido. Back: She is wearing a beautiful dress.
(Card # 2680) Front: Los muchachos están trayendo los refrescos. Back: The boys are bringing the sodas.
(Card # 2681) Front: Traigo mis discos compactos. Back: I am bringing my CDs.
(Card # 2682) Front: Esperamos que hayas traído suficiente comida. Back: We hope that you have brought enough food.
(Card # 2683) Front: Ese muchacho me trae de cabeza. Back: That boy causes me headaches.
(Card # 1744) Front: yacer Back: to lie, to lie buried, to rest
(Card # 1745) Front: La actriz yacía perezosamente sobre el diván rojo. Back: The actress was lying down lazily on the red sofa.
(Card # 1746) Front: ¡No yazcas en la paja Carlos! Back: Don't lie on the hay Charles!
(Card # 1747) Front: Aquí yace sepultado don Marín. Back: Here lies buried Mr Marin.
A few thousand of the most common nouns, adjectives and adverbs are interspersed amongst the sentences, so this deck is perfect for an advanced learner wanting to study as efficiently as possible. I have put the Spanish cards facing front, because the deck works best as a recognition exercise (as opposed to training you to recall the Spanish). The sentences mostly use tú & usted for ‘you’, and occasionally use vosotros. The diacritical marks are included so Text To Speech pronounces correctly.
Since there are over three thousand cards, I recommend you suspend the card groups that don’t interest you. I don’t recommend you set the option “See new cards in random order” since then you won’t learn the infinitive tense first, or benefit from the reinforcement that comes with learning the sentences that use the same verb.
To respond to the review below commenting on the english translation style - as an intermediate learner I also prefer a literal translation rather than dynamic equivalence. Yet an advanced learner might benefit from the greater accuracy of a sense equivalent translation as it’s given in this deck.
