Why this why now

Building on previous learning of 'being' (with the verb 'sein') and having (with 'haben') this unit will provide pupils with knowledge of verb infinitives and the formation of the present tense for weak (regular) verbs. With the new vocabulary in the unit, pupils will apply this knowledge within the familiar context of school.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know singular forms of 'sein'.
  • Pupils know singular forms of 'haben'.
  • Pupils know the sound-symbol correspondences [a], [e], [ei], [z], [w] and [ie]
