Description

This unit introduces 'no' to negate verbs. Pupils add -es to form the plural of nouns which end in a consonant. They use plurals and numbers to talk about how many. The irregular form 'hay' is introduced, and is contrasted with 'tener'. Key sounds learnt are z, que, qui.

In this unit, pupils embed their knowledge of -ar verbs and other verbs by combining them with 'no' to form the negative. In future units, pupils will learn more ways to form the negative. They practise forming the plural with -s, and learn a new way of forming the plural with -es for nouns that end in a consonant and therefore do not follow the typical -o or -a gender marking. Indefinite articles are revisited by combining them with 'hay' to mean 'there is' or 'there are'. New sounds z, que, qui are taught.
