Why this why now
This unit introduces pronouns after prepositions, including emphatic use after 'a'. Pupils are already familiar with interesar-type verbs and now learn to combine these with pronouns after 'a' to discuss opinions about technology. Pupils strengthen 'haber' with a past participle for -ar and -er verbs, and learn irregular past participles in the perfect tense, which they embed in discussions of Spanish cinema. Likewise, this topic provides pupils with the opportunity to strengthen the imperfect tense in the third person singular and plural.
