KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

In this unit, pupils consolidate their knowledge of preterite singular forms of regular -ar, -ir, and -er verbs and irregular forms of 'hacer' and 'ir'. Pupils will learn plural forms of the preterite in another unit. They also consolidate present tense singular and plural regular -ar, -ir, and -er verbs. They revisit listening to and asking questions in the past and present using rising intonation, and are reminded that Spanish does not use do, did or does to ask questions. The unit revisits penultimate syllable stress.
