Present Tense - Daily Routine (Lección 2)
Focus: Present tense verb conjugations for daily routine. Built full sentences describing morning schedule.

New vocab: empezar, revisar, la reunión, cada día, el horario, necesitar, la organización, para ti
Key corrections:

Key corrections:
finanzia → finanzas
Plural form with Z, not C. "Trabajo en finanzas."
solo por ti → solo para ti
"Para" = intended for someone. "Por" = because of / on behalf of. Classic pair to master.
necissitamos → necesitamos
One S, not two. Watch the double-letter trap.
organicion → organización
Z not C, accent on the ó. "-ción" is the standard suffix.

Assessment + Self-Introduction
Assessment result: Solid intermediate. Sentence structure is natural and instinctive. Gaps are mostly vocabulary and spelling — not grammar logic. Very fixable.
What went well: Full self-intro in Spanish covering family, career, and business. Gender agreement perfect. "ciudades inteligentes" nailed without prompting.

Key corrections:
mi padre muerte en agosto → mi padre murió en agosto de 2025
"muerte" is a noun. The verb "morir" past tense is murió. Formal alternative: falleció.
Es el un fondo grande → Es un fondo grande
Can't combine "es el" and "es un" — just use one.
$1 billion dólares → mil millones de dólares
🚨 Business critical. "Un billón" = 1 trillion in Spanish.
nosotros building un centro de data → estamos construyendo un centro de datos
"datos" is plural. Present continuous = estamos + gerund.
mi madre y sus hermanos tenemos → mi madre, sus hermanos y yo tenemos
Subject-verb agreement. "Tenemos" = we have, so include yourself in the subject.
