  • Adjectives
  • Verb: to be, being

Description

This unit requires pupils to use ‘estar’ and ‘ser’ effectively to communicate about how they and others are today and what they are like in general. When using the new plural forms ‘estamos’ and ‘somos’, pupils need also to use plural adjective agreement, applied to familiar and new adjectives.

This unit expands pupils’ knowledge of the gateway verbs ‘estar’ and ‘ser’, adding the first person plural forms ‘estamos’ and ‘somos’. Pupils practise the new plural forms ‘we are’ alongside the three singular forms. They learn regular plural adjective agreement to complement new plural verb knowledge. As previously, ‘estar’ for states is contrasted with ‘ser’ for traits. In a later unit, pupils will learn the third person plural forms ‘they are’. Familiar vowel sounds are secured in a new focus on consonant-vowel syllables, and high frequency known and new adjectives are practised.

  1. How are you today? (today): 'estoy' and 'estás' for states
  2. How are you today and usually? 'Estar' for states and 'ser' for traits
