Why this why now
In this unit, pupils strengthen the first person plural in the preterite and present tenses by using adverbs to distinguish which tense is meant. Pupils consolidate the present tense with future meaning, and refresh all persons of the verb 'ir' with 'a' and an infinitive to express future meaning. They strengthen 'para' with an infinitive to express 'in order to', and contrast this with their knowledge of 'para' to mean 'for'. Pupils revisit a range of vocabulary and sound-symbol correspondences from KS3 to maintain their working memory.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know first person plural forms of regular -ar,-er,-ir verbs in the present and preterite.
- Pupils know direct object pronouns 'los' and 'las'.
- Pupils know they can express the future with the present simple by using adverbs of time.
- Pupils know all persons of 'ir' in the present tense, and combine these with 'a' and an infinitive for future intention.
- Pupils know 'para' with an infinitive expresses 'in order to'.
