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'.
