Why this why now
This unit deepens pupils' prior knowledge of strong verbs in the present tense, and the perfect tense with haben with new vocabulary and a richer verb lexicon. Object pronouns are revisited and knowledge deepened with the addition of 'mich' and 'dich'. Pupils expand their use of the perfect tense adding the first person plural. Pupils build their knowledge of number formation (32-100) in a rich context of authentic German articles on the environment. Telling the time is introduced and pupils practise this in the core thread of asking and answering questions.
