  • From the Grammar section, we have reformatted their flashcard information into 3 x 3 labels using Microsoft Word. You can download this information from their Grammar section or you can download our version of the flashcards here.

  • Download Verb worksheets, for Present tense -ar verbs here. They are designed to help students and teachers with conjugation and writing exercises.
