Country Lesson

Next, we show you the countries of America. In this group you have the
countries (Peru) and then the nationalities (Peruvian) in English. It will not be
translated into Spanish since in most countries the same names are used with
minor variations.

 Colombian / Colombian

 Venezuelan / Venezuelan

 Ecuadorian / Ecuadorean*

 Peruvian / Peruvian

 Brazil** / Brazilian

 Paraguayan / Paraguayan

 Bolivian / Bolivian

 Chilean / Chilean

 Uruguayan / Uruguayan
  Argentinian / Argentinian

Note that to say Ecuadorian in English we do not use the letter T; we use the
letter D: Ecuadorian. In Spanish Brazil is written with S; in English it is written
with Z: Brazil.

Whenever we talk about countries we will use the first letter in capital letters;
This occurs in English and Spanish. On the other hand, when we talk about
nationalities in English we should always use the first capital letter; for example,
she is Bolivian. This phenomenon does not occur in Spanish since we do not
capitalize the first letter of nationalities; for example, she is Bolivian.

 Past Continuous Lesson

The past continuous is used for actions that were happening at a specific time
in the past. Like the present continuous, it is formed with the auxiliary verb “to
be” and the verb+ing.

To form the past continuous, the auxiliary verb “to be” and the verb+ing are
used. The auxiliary verb "to be" is in the simple past, but keep in mind that "to
be" is an irregular verb.

Examples:

I was talking.(Estaba hablando.)

He was eating.(Estaba comiendo.)

They were learning.(Estaban aprendiendo.)

interchangeable.
