Why this why now
In this unit, pupils consolidate their knowledge of the present tense to describe simple and ongoing activities. They reinforce their knowledge of modal verbs and two verb structures in statements and questions and extend this with the imperative in the 'du' and 'ihr' forms. Pupils apply this in writing emails and in social media messages, and in discussions on sport.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know the present tense in German and its two English translations 'I do' (simple) and 'I am doing' (continuous).
- Pupils know and can ask verb-subject questions in single verb structures, including reflexive verbs.
- Pupils know and can ask verb-subject questions in 2-verb structures using modal verbs and werden (future tense.)
