Description

In this unit pupils learn numbers 1-12 and the plural indefinite article 'des' meaning some. They add -s to form plural nouns and learn that the irregular verb phrase 'il y a' means there is, there are. Pupils combine these knowledge components to talk about how many of things there are.

This unit expands pupils' knowledge from singular to plural noun forms, and introduces essential knowledge of numbers 1-12 and the plural indefinite article 'some'. This extends pupils' communicative range, embedding many previously taught nouns, whilst enabling pupils to talk about more than one. Pupils also extend liaison to -s and -x, e.g., trois oranges, deux enfants, whilst reapplying knowledge of silent final consonants in plural noun final -s. In other units, pupils will build on number knowledge to communicate effectively about ages and dates.
