Why this why now

In this unit, pupils learn a new way to talk about the past using singular and plural forms of 'haber' with an -ar verb stem and '-ado', and an -er or -ir verb stem with '-ido' to form the perfect tense. They learn some irregular past participles, and will learn more in a future unit. Pupils revisit the imperfect tense and practise the perfect tense whilst learning about the experiences of Spanish-speaking migrants. Pupils learn 'hay que' to talk about what people have to do, and are introduced to the passive with 'se'.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know the imperfect is for habitual actions in the past.
  • Pupils know singular persons of regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs in the imperfect.
  • Pupils know 'tenía' and 'tenías' mean 'had' and 'había' means there 'was/were'.
  • Pupils know 'era' and 'eras' mean 'was' or 'were' with a trait.
  • Pupils know sound-symbol correspondences silent [h], [ch],
  • Pupils know strong vowels [a], [o], [e].
  • Pupils know how to use 'hay'.
  • Pupils know modal verb 'poder' and that its stem changes from o to ue.
  • Pupils know they can use 'hace' with a noun to talk about the weather.
  • Pupils know the stem of verbs like 'pensar' changes from e to ie.
