KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

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.
