Reflection and review  • 173 ❏ I understand that expressions with tener expressing states and conditions do not reflect gender and number the way that adjectives do. ❏ I can understand and use tener que in order to express obligations. Lengua 2.7: Indirect object pronouns ❏ I understand what information an indirect object pronoun communicates. ❏ I know one location where an indirect object pronoun can be placed in a sentence. ❏ When I am reading, I can locate indirect object pronouns, and I can usually understand who they are referring to. ❏ When I come across an indirect object pronoun while reading, it rarely confuses me; I understand that an indirect object pronoun is not the person doing the verbal action. ❏ In my writing, I am occasionally able to correctly use indirect object pronouns with a few familiar verbs. ❏ In my speech, I can usually use the correct indirect object pronoun with the verb gustar , though I may not be able to use them with other verbs yet. Lengua 2.8: Expressions with the infinitive 1 ❏ I understand what an infinitive is. ❏ When I am reading or listening, I can understand many expressions with the infinitive. ❏ I can use a few common expressions with the infinitive in my speech and writing, though I am likely to use them only in first person ( Tengo que . . .  , Quiero . . .  , No puedo . . . ). ❏ I understand that some expressions with the infinitive require prepositions that do not translate into English. ❏ I understand how to use the verb ir to express plans, and I can sometimes use this expression in my speech and writing. 73.
