<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">  <em>The following lesson is designed to teach about the popular tea drink in Argentina, &#8220;Mate&#8221; and also to practice the verb tense &#8220;imperativo.&#8221;  Read the article cafefully and look up any words you don&#8217;t know!!!  </em></p>
<p>El MATE es una bebida que los  argentinos  toman en un “mate” (así también se llama el recipiente), donde  ponemos “yerba” y toman MATE con una “bombilla”. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">El mate nació en el norte de  Argentina , en la zona de Iguazú. Los indígenas del lugar creían  que tenía propiedades mágicas porque: <em>calma el hambre y la sed,  reúne a las personas y hace nuevos amigos</em>. En Argentina, los niños  se convierten en adultos cuando se preparan  solos, su primer mate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Para aprender a preparar un MATE, vamos   a usar el tiempo “Imperativo”, usado para dar órdenes, recomendaciones  y también “instrucciones”. Los verbos regulares se conjugan  de  la siguiente forma:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>AMAR </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Tú Am<strong>a              No ames (Ud. afirmativo + S)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Vos Am<strong>á           No ames  (Ud.  afirmativo + S)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Ud. Am<strong>e            No ame</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Utedes Am<strong>en  No  amen</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>COMER</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Tú Com<strong>e   No comas  (Ud. afirmativo + S)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Vos Com<strong>é   No comas (Ud.  afirmativo + S)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Ud. Com<strong>a   No coma</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Ustedes Com<strong>an      No coman</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>VIVIR</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Tú Viv<strong>e   No Vivas  (Ud. afirmativo + S)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Vos Viv<strong>í  No Vivas (Ud. afirmativo  + S)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Ud. Viv<strong>a   No Viva</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Ustedes Viv<strong>an   No Vivan</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">*Importante:</span> Cuando el verbo  está en afirmativo los pronombres (OD, OI y Reflexivos) van al final  del verbo, formando una sola palabra, y si está  en negativo van antes. Ej: tocalo / no lo toques.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cómo preparar un  MATE</span></strong></span></p>
<ul type="DISC">
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>Ponga</strong> a calentar    agua (es importante sacarla del fuego antes de que hierva)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>Tome</strong> un “mate”    (recipiente) e introduzca en él yerba.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>Agítelo</strong> tapándolo    con una mano para sacar el polvo de la yerba. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>Moje</strong> la yerba de    costado, solo un poco, con agua fría.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Allí donde la yerba esté    mojada <strong>meta</strong> la bombilla.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>Vierta</strong> el agua caliente    y <strong>beba</strong> el MATE. (Es importante no mojar toda la yerba desde el    principio y también tomar el MATE hasta terminar el agua)</span></li>
</ul>
<p>I hope you enjoyed this lesson about Mate and the verb tense &#8220;imperativo.&#8221;  Please feel free to asking any questions you may have about Mate, &#8220;imperativo&#8221; or anything else on you mind in the comments section below and I will respond!!</p>
