Description

This unit introduces pupils to verb infinitives and the patterns for weak (regular) high frequency verbs in the 1st and 3rd persons singular. Pupils learn how to use them in familiar contexts at school and at home. They practise sound-symbol correspondences long and short [o] and [i].

In this unit, pupils build on their knowledge of weak verbs and closed and open question forms. As the unit progresses, they will consolidate and apply their knowledge by building sentences from infinitives in a familiar context.
