Why this why now

This unit introduces new subject pronoun 'usted'. Pupils already know possessive adjective 'su' to mean 'his' or 'her', and now learn it also means 'your' in formal contexts. They revisit the third person singular in the present tense and learn that this form of the verb is used with 'usted'. Pupils strengthen their knowledge of informal 'tú'. Pupils consolidate regular forms of the second person affirmative imperative, and expand their knowledge of the affirmative imperative with irregular forms, which they embed in the context of instructions for protecting the environment.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know plural and singular persons of -ar, -er, -ir verbs in the present tense.
  • Pupils know possessive adjectives 'tu' and 'su'.
  • Pupils know negatives 'nada', 'nunca', 'nadie', 'ninguno'.
  • Pupils know to use 'tú' for informal 'you'.
  • Pupils know the second person singular of regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs in the affirmative imperative.
  • Pupils know sound-symbol correspondences [u], [cu], [-r-], [-r], [rr], [r-], [-r-] .
