KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

Pupils can already negate verbs using 'no'. In this unit, they expand their knowledge of negation to use structures with 'nada', 'nunca', 'nadie', 'ninguno', 'ya no', and 'no...ni...ni'. Pupils have already learned the second person plural of -er and -ir verbs in the preterite, and now they add -ar verbs to their repertoire. They reactivate their knowledge of second person singular -ar verbs in the preterite, contrasting them with the plural. Pupils refresh working memory of stem change verbs, verbs like 'dirigir', possessive adjectives 'tu' and 'vuestro', position of adverbs, and 'conmigo'.
