When expressing an emotion or feeling in Spanish, the verb 'estar' is used with
an adjective. While estar can be used to express the temporary conditions of location, condition, action, and emotions, this lesson focuses specifically on teaching students the use of estar to express emotion. For example: 1. Estoy muy enojado.- I am very angry. 2. Mi padre y yo estamos ocupados.- My father and I are busy. 3. ¿Estás cansado? - Are you tired?
1. Instruction: The first step is for the students to learn the conjugation of estar and some vocabulary for emotions. Show this video and discuss.
