The undercover officer watched them put something in the car and alerted all units to follow
them. Once they realized they were being followed, they panicked and drove away at a very
high speed. You are a police dispatcher. Your job is to relay information from the helicopter to
the units that are in pursuit on the ground to help them stop the car chase before any innocent
drivers or pedestrians get hurt!

Choose one of these two videos to describe the car chase and write down your sentences:

You can make up street and city names as well as name the buildings to add detail to your

Here are some of the vocabulary words which you can use. You can also go back to the
lessons or use the study guides to incorporate other vocabulary we learned.
el carro/los carros the car/the cars
detrás de behind
peligro danger
a la derecha to the right
doblar to turn
cerca close, near
a la izquierda to the left
todo derecho straight ahead
la policía the police
al lado de beside
entre between

enfrente de opposite/facing
chocar to crash
For example, if the suspects’ red car in the video made a right turn at a crosswalk you could say:
El carro rojo dobló a la derecha en el paso de peatones en la calle 7.
 Here are some more things you can describe from the video:
- Did the suspects’ car stop anywhere?
- Did the suspects’ car pass any other cars on the road?
- What color are other cars on the road and where are they (in front of, next to,
behind the suspects’ car)?
- What buildings did the suspects’ car go past?
- Be prepared to give at least three sentences in Spanish to talk about the
car chase. Use the preterite tense to say where the car went and what it
did.
 In addition, prepare your answer to this question using the preterite tense:
¿Qué pusieron el mesonero y la criada en el carro y dónde lo pusieron?
