Practice: Ir de compras and preterit

Complete each question using a different store and an item purchased from the list. For the price, you can come up with any amount you feel is appropriate. Write out the cost in Spanish and add dólares or pesos (ex diez dólares). Vary your payment methods using the list. Write in complete sentences in the preterit tense.

There are 8 stores: el almacén / el centro comercial / la joyería / la librería/ la tienda de descuentos / la tienda de electrodomésticos / la tienda de ropa / la zapatería

A list with 9 items that can be bought and 6 types of payment methods is included. Students can also come up with items for each store, if they choose not to use the list.

For each store students will complete the following:

1. A. ¿A dónde fuiste?

Yo __________________________________________

B. ¿Qué compraste?

Yo __________________________________________

C. ¿Cuánto pagaste?

Yo ___________________________________________

D. ¿Cómo pagaste?

Yo ___________________________________________

This practice can be used with Realidades 2 chapter 2B (mostly preliminary vocab).

Students can also do this activity orally in pairs.
