Sharing Your Daily Routine in Spanish

If you want to talk about your daily routine in Spanish, it's super helpful to know how to make easy sentences. Let’s break it down step by step!

Important Verbs to Use

Start with some common action words that describe what you do every day. Here are some key verbs to know in the present tense:

• Despertarse (to wake up)
• Levantarse (to get up)
• Ducharse (to shower)
• Desayunar (to have breakfast)
• Ir a la escuela (to go to school)
• Estudiar (to study)
• Cenar (to have dinner)
• Acostarse (to go to bed)

Simple Sentence Structure

To make sentences, use this simple order: subject + verb + object. Here are a few examples:

• Yo me despierto a las siete. (I wake up at seven.)
• Yo desayuno a las ocho. (I have breakfast at eight.)
• Yo voy a la escuela a las ocho y media. (I go to school at eight thirty.)

Writing Your Routine

Now, let’s write a short paragraph about your daily routine. Here’s an example:

“Me despierto a las seis y media. Me levanto y me ducho. Desayuno a las siete. Después, voy a la escuela y estudio. Vuelvo a casa a las cuatro, ceno a las seis y me acuesto a las diez.”

Practicing How to Say It

Try saying these sentences out loud. Pay attention to how the vowel sounds work in Spanish:

• Despierto: [des-PYER-toh]
• Desayuno: [deh-sah-YOON-oh]
• Acuesto: [ah-KWES-toh]

Role Play Fun

You can also practice with a friend by doing a role-play. Ask each other questions like:

• ¿A qué hora te despiertas? (What time do you wake up?)
• ¿Qué haces después del desayuno? (What do you do after breakfast?)

By practicing these parts, you’ll feel more comfortable using the present tense to talk about your daily routine in Spanish!
