Why this why now

In this unit, pupils embed the third person singular and plural of -ar verbs in the present tense with the exploration of the text 'La Tomatina'. Pupils consolidate using present singular forms of 'ir a' with an infinitive to express future meaning, and single forms of 'ir' and 'hacer' in the preterite. Revisited vocabulary from Year 7, and several revisited SSCs provide further consolidation opportunities.
