English learner and bilingual footnotes
1 Pronouns in Spanish do not always change based on use (e.g., “Give it to him” vs. “He eats”), so ELs are likely to make more errors than non-ELs.
2 In Spanish, the possessive for he/she/it/they are the same. Spanish-speakers may say, “She spoke with his father,” instead of, “She spoke with her father.”
3 Developing knowledge of prepositions in a second language can take a long time
4 ELs may overgeneralize irregular past tense verbs.
