Description

In this unit, pupils use singular 'faire' and 'jouer' to talk about activities and sports. They extend sentences, using subordinate clauses with 'quand'. and use 'qu'est-ce que' and quel/quelle to ask what sports others do. Pupils further embed knowledge of a range of previously learnt sounds.

This unit further develops pupils' verb lexicon, introducing singular forms of the high frequency verb 'faire' to do, make, with negation and 'qu'est-ce que' questions, before introducting its idiomatic use with weather expressions. Singular 'faire' and 'jouer' with different sports are also taught, along with plural possessives 'mes, tes'. Building on pupils’ use of simple and compound sentences, pupils learn to create longer sentences with subordinate clauses, using ‘quand’, when.
