Description

In this unit, based mainly on the present tense, pupils refresh their knowledge of adjective positioning, comparatives, and the use of de as partitive article and after expressions of quantity.

In this unit, pupils anchor their knowledge of present tense verbs and consolidate knowledge of 'de' as they read about Christmas celebrations around the world. They apply their knowledge of comparative adjectives and adverbs and later in the unit, bring this all together in extended speaking on winter holidays.

  1. Christmas around the world: adjectives, comparatives
  2. Winter celebrations: partitive articles
  3. Winter holidays from school: extended speaking
