Description

In this unit, in the context of the classroom, pupils learn first, second and third person singular forms of the verb 'estar' and singular regular adjective agreement. They use statements, intonation and information questions with ' ¿cómo?' and '¿dónde?' to communicate how and where people are.

This unit introduces the verb ‘estar’ to be, being for location and state, which is essential early knowledge for pupils. Singular regular adjective agreement for gender is key knowledge for communicating temporary states and moods effectively. High frequency vocabulary is selected to support this communicative purpose. Pupils also learn greetings to enable them to initiate first interactions in Spanish. In another unit, pupils extend their knowledge of adjective agreement and apply it to grammatically gendered nouns.
