Why this why now
This unit furthers pupils' knowledge of verbs in the preterite by adding 'hice', 'hiciste', 'hizo', 'fui', 'fuiste', 'fue'. Pupils contrast these verbs with their irregular present tense counterparts. Pupils revisit adverbs of location with 'del' and 'de la' and anchor this knowledge to form sentences using adverbs of location and 'hacer'. They revisit 'al' and 'a la' and expand their use by combining them with 'ir' in the preterite. Rules around final syllable stress are revisited.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know singular persons of 'hacer' in the present tense.
- Pupils know singular persons of 'ir' in the present tense.
- Pupils know 'del' and 'de la' often follow adverbs of position to refer to a person, place, or thing.
- Pupils know 'al' and 'a la' often follow 'ir' to mean 'to'.
- Pupils know when a word with stress on the last syllable ends in the consonants n or s, an accent is needed on the vowel of that last syllable.
- Pupils know to use subject pronouns when comparing what different people do.
