My preferred village or city, is a topic that allows you to develop your writing skills in Spanish. When writing your first composition in Spanish, it is always helpful to start with a model of the type of writing you are aiming at. Because by looking closely at an example of writing on the topic you want to write about, you can become aware, or be reminded, of the sorts of words you would like to include. You will also notice the aspects of grammar involved. In this example you will find precisely that.
This article is a reminder of the kinds of things you should consider. Once you read it, you will find it easier to write correctly about the city, town or village of your preference.
There are 4 main verbs involved: ES/ ESTA/ TIENE/ HAY. You will use them predominantly in the 3rd person singular form, of which this pint is a reminder.
You will be using a number of adjectives too. This means that you will have to take care of their agreement with the noun they are expressing a quality about. Remember that MUCHO/-A/-OS/-AS is one of the exceptions where an adjective can be placed before a noun, which is not the usual approach in Spanish.
Try to use some words such as BASTANTE (quite), MUY (very) and UN POCO (a little), together with adjectives. This way you will fine-tune the adjective meaning, as one does in English and other languages.
You will also need to locate the place you are talking about. This is something you can only do by using the verb ESTAR, not SER, plus cardinal points and possibly other words that express place.
Writing a composition on “My preferred village or city” will give you plenty of opportunity to integrate what you have learned so far. It will help you to remember vocabulary, and general information concerning how the Spanish language works. It also is your chance to experiment a bit, and to get feedback. Both are key to develop your Spanish further.
