The Spanish verb “Volver” comes from the Latin verb “volvere”, which meant “to roll, turn, or revolve”. Over time, as Latin evolved into Spanish, the meaning became more focused on the concept of 'returning' or 'turning back', though the basic idea of turning or rotation remained. Another common use is with the preposition “a” + infinitive, meaning to do something again. Algunas conjugaciones: Presente: vuelvo, vuelves, vuelve, volvemos, volvéis, vuelven Pretérito: volví, volviste, volvió, volvimos, volvisteis, volvieron Futuro: volveré, volverás, volverá, volveremos, volveréis, volverán. Algunos ejemplos: Tú volviste de la fiesta temprano. Me gusta volver a casa antes de las siete. Ellos volverán a llamarte mañana. ¡Tu turno! Write a sentence using volver in the comments!

The verb “repartir” comes from the Latin repartire. This word is formed from the prefix re- (repetition, reiteration, or reinforcement) and the verb partire (to divide or separate). In turn, partire derives from pars (partis), which means "part" or "fragment." Taken together, its etymology indicates the action of reiterating the division of something, that is, distributing something into several portions or among several people. The meaning is to share, to divide up, to distribute. Algunas conjugaciones: Pretérito: repartí, repartiste, repartió, repartimos, repartisteis, repartieron Condicional: repartiría, repartirías, repartiría, repartiríamos, repartiríais, repartirían Futuro: repartiré, repartirás, repartirá, repartiremos, repartiréis, repartirán Algunos ejemplos: Ellos repartieron la comida muy tarde. El perrito repartió alegría entre todos los niños en el parque. Los países deberían repartir sus riquezas de manera equitativa. ¡Tu turno! Write a sentence using repartir in the comments!

Hola a todos. I haven't posted this past week because I've been dealing with the tragedy that happened in Venezuela. As many of you know, I'm from Venezuela, and all my family lives there. Last week, there were two earthquakes that caused terrible devastation. My family and friends are ok, but this has taken a toll on me. I'm trying to come back to my regular activities. Check my post about new materials. I hope to see you at the Conversation Club next Tuesday. 🙂
