Why this why now
In this unit, pupils strengthen singular forms of -ar, -er, -ir verbs in the imperfect for habitual events. They expand on this by learning their plural forms, and irregular verbs 'ir' and 'ver' in all persons. Pupils anchor this knowledge in the context of global matters, and learn about journalist Arturo Pérez. To help build a solid foundation for using verbs in the past, pupils consolidate contrasting the imperfect with the preterite for interruptions, forming the past continuous, using modal verbs in the past, and the verbs 'tenía', 'tenías', 'había'.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know singular forms of regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs in the imperfect tense.
- Pupils know the imperfect is for past habitual events, and that the preterite is for interruptions. They can use relative clauses with 'cuando' for the interruption.
- Pupils know to combine singular persons of 'estar' in the imperfect with a present participle for events in progress in the past.
- Pupils know how to form adverbs with -mente where the English equivalent is -ly.
- Pupils know 'querer', 'poder', 'deber', 'tener que', 'saber' as modals.
- Pupils know to use 'tener' with a noun where the English equivalent is 'to be' with an adjective.
- Pupils know invariable pronouns 'algo' and 'alguien'.
- Pupils know strong vowels [a], [e], including diphthongs with [i].
