This is the twenty-fifth lesson in our beginner level Spanish course and we will look at Describing what you wear in Spanish.<\/p>\n

We will learn useful new vocabulary related to clothing and practice using it with the regular verb Llevar<\/em> (To wear).\u00a0Before we start practising Describing what you wear in Spanish<\/strong> we recommend that you review Lesson 20: Present Tense with Regular Verbs<\/a> <\/strong>and Lesson 21: More Regular Verbs in Present Tense<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you want to deepen your Spanish knowledge, our Free Spanish Online Course<\/a><\/strong> is a convenient option.<\/p>\n

First, let’s learn some new vocabulary of Clothing in Spanish:<\/p>\n

La ropa (Clothing):<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"describing<\/p>\n

La camisa: shirt
\nLa camiseta: t-shirt
\nLa blusa: blouse
\nEl jersey\/El su\u00e9ter: jumper, sweater
\nLa chaqueta: jacket
\nEl abrigo: coat
\nLos pantalones: pants, trousers
\nLos vaqueros: jeans
\nLos pantalones cortos: shorts
\nLa falda: skirt
\nEl vestido: dress
\nLos zapatos: shoes
\nLas deportivas: sneakers, trainers
\nLas botas: boots
\nLos calcetines: socks
\nLas medias: tights
\nEl sombrero: hat
\nEl gorro: woolly hat
\nLa gorra: cap
\nEl traje: suit
\nLa corbata: tie
\nLos calzoncillos: underpants
\nLas bragas: knickers
\nEl sujetador: bra
\nRopa informal: casual clothing
\nRopa formal: formal clothing<\/p>\n

As we mentioned in the previous lesson about Fruits and Vegetables in Spanish<\/a><\/strong>, please don’t try to memorise lots of new vocabulary in one go. <\/em><\/p>\n

Aim to learn five or six new words a day and try to be consistent with your studies. <\/em><\/p>\n

And don’t forget to carry a dictionary or dictionary app with you at all times to look up words you can’t remember or haven’t learned yet.<\/em><\/p>\n

Next, let’s practice using this new Clothing vocabulary with the regular verb Llevar<\/em> (To wear):<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here are the conjugation rules again for regular verbs in Present Tense:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yo
\nT\u00fa
\n\u00c9l\/Ella
\nNosotros\/as
\nVosotros\/as
\nEllos\/Ellas<\/td>\n		-o
\n-as\/-es
\n-a\/-e
\n-amos\/-emos\/-imos
\n-\u00e1is\/-\u00e9is\/-\u00eds
\n-an\/-en<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"describing<\/p>\n

Practice dialogue<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 ropa llevas al trabajo?: What clothes do you wear to work?
\nLlevo un traje todos los d\u00edas: I wear a suit every day
\n\u00bfLlevas una corbata?: Do you wear a tie?
\nS\u00ed, en la oficina todos llevamos una corbata: Yes, in the office we all wear a tie.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 ropa llevas cuando no trabajas?: What clothes do you wear when you don’t work?
\nSiempre llevo vaqueros, deportivas y camiseta: I always wear jeans, trainers and t-shirt
\nSiempre llevo ropa muy informal cuando no trabajo: I always wear casual clothes when I don’t work<\/p>\n

\u00bfY tu hermana? \u00bfElla lleva ropa informal tambi\u00e9n?: And your sister? Does she wear casual clothes also?
\nMi hermana es estudiante. No trabaja, solo estudia. Pero ella siempre lleva ropa muy formal: My sister is a student. She doesn’t work, she only studies. But she always wears very formal clothes.
\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 lleva?: What does she wear?
\nLleva un vestido o una blusa y una falda: She wears a dress or a blouse and a skirt<\/p>\n

Observe that the ending of the verb Llevar (To wear) is <\/i>changed depending on the person doing the action.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For example, if the sentence is “I wear” then the verb Llevar<\/em> will be changed to Llevo<\/em> and if the sentence is “We wear” then the verb Llevar<\/em> will be changed to Llevamos<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Keep practising by creating your own sentences using as many regular Spanish verbs as you can remember with Present Tense.<\/p>\n

You might also want to revisit Lesson 17 in this course which looked at The Colours in Spanish<\/a><\/strong> and practice using these with clothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
