Description

This unit consolidates modal verbs in the present tense and introduces the conditional with vouloir in the context of career plans. There is also an extensive focus on word pattern rules, introducing new rules for the formation of adverbs from adjectives and adding in- or im- to mean 'opposite of'.

Building on their knowledge of modal verbs from KS3, pupils will develop mastery of these in all persons of the verb in the present tense and they will also learn how to express future wishes and plans using the conditional with vouloir. Set in the context of the world of work, pupils will listen to and read texts which explore different career pathways, discuss the pros and cons of different jobs, and articulate their own desires for the future. Further units at KS4 will consolidate the thematic vocabulary and allow further practice of these structures.
