Threads

  • Verb: to be, being

Description

This unit consolidates 'ser' for traits and 'estar' for state/ mood in the context of people and places now versus in general. Pupils combine these verbs with adjectives, practising agreement for gender and number. Weak vowels i and u are combined with strong vowels to create diphthongs.

In this unit, pupils strengthen 'ser' for traits and 'estar' for state/ mood in singular and plural persons. They anchor adjective agreement by combining adjectives with 'ser' and 'estar' to describe what people and places are like, and they embed the use of negatives and questions with these verbs. Pupils are introduced to the concept of weak vowels combining with strong vowels to create diphthongs.
