Since many of you are not going to be in class today, I figured I would make some extra practice sheets on some old skills available for review so you're extra ready to reassess on soler, ir + a, acabar de, and hay que.  

The extra practice sheets are available on what I am in the process of converting from my main DP into a resource page (with homework, worksheets, etc).   Here's the link. All of the files for soler, etc. have the main concept in the file name (práctica extra con ______).

Please be patient with formatting and content development.  I am working on making lots of stuff available so you can get everything you need if you miss class or want extra practice.
