Description

In this unit, pupils combine imperfect forms of 'estar' with a present participle to talk about events in progress, and use the preterite for interruptions. 'Donde' and 'cuando' are introduced as relative pronouns for subject relative clauses. Demonstratives 'estos' and 'estas' are revisited.

Pupils already know how to form the imperfect tense using singular forms of 'estar', and how to form the present participle. Now they learn to combine these elements to talk about events in progress in the past. They refresh their knowledge of the preterite, which they use to talk about interruptions. Pupils are already familiar with subject relative clauses using 'que', and now add 'donde' and 'cuando' to their repertoire. They also strengthen their knowledge of demonstrative pronouns 'estos' and 'estas'. Pupils revisit key sounds b, v, n, ñ.
