Why this why now
This unit builds on pupils' knowledge of the superlative, which was introduced in the previous unit, with regular superlative structures. Pupils contrast the superlative with regular comparative structures and irregular comparatives 'mejor que' and 'peor que', which they learnt in previous units. Pupils are already familiar with 'querer' with an infinitive as a modal verb and now learn its imperfect subjunctive form 'quisiera' with an infinitive to express 'would like'. Likewise, pupils learn the conditional form 'gustaría'.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know regular comparative structures 'más..que' and 'menos…que'.
- Pupils know irregular comparatives 'mejor que' and 'peor que'.
- Pupils know how to use modal verb 'querer' with an infinitive in the present tense.
- Pupils know how to use 'gustar' in the present tense.
- Pupils know to use suffix '-idad' where the English equivalent is -'(i)ty'.
- Pupils know indefinite adjectives 'otro', 'mismo', 'cada', 'todo'.
- Pupils know sound-symbol correspondences [qui] and [que].
