KS3 & KS4 German curriculum

This unit extends pupils' ability to express desires and plans with 'möcht-', used with a noun and with an infinitive in a two-verb structure. Pupils extend their knowledge and use of the future tense, contrasting it with verbs like 'vorhaben' as they revisit zu +infinitive. Vocabulary is extended as pupils express both immediate desires at a Christmas market and longer term plans, challenges and priorities. Pupils ask and answer questions on what they did with and for others, reactivating knowledge of prepositions.
