Why this why now
In this unit, pupils consolidate the present tense second person plural form of -ar verbs, and contrast this with the second person singular. They also consolidate known irregular verbs 'eres' and 'sois', and 'vas' and 'vais'. Pupils build on this knowledge by learning the second person plural forms of -er and -ir verbs, including modal verbs 'podéis', 'debéis', 'queréis' with an infinitive. Pupils are already familiar with singular possessive adjectives 'vuestro' and 'vuestra' and now learn plural forms 'vuestros' and 'vuestras'. In phonics, pupils revisit stress patterns.
