KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

Pupils already know how to form second person singular verbs in the affirmative imperative for -ar, -er and -ir verbs, in addition to some irregulars. Knowledge of the imperative is expanded in this unit with the affirmative second person plural. Pupils use the imperative in the context of giving commands during sport. In this unit, pupils further their ability to manipulate language with the suffix '-able'. Pupils are already familiar with irregular verbs in the present tense, and revisit verbs like 'dirigir'. They add verbs such as 'incluir' to their repertoire.

1. El fútbol: suffix -able, indirect object pronouns
2. El fútbol: 'influir'-type verbs
3. Mi tiempo libre de todos los días: present tense, conversation practice
4. Órdenes del profe de deporte: singular affirmative commands
5. Órdenes para el equipo: plural affirmative commands
6. Entrevista a un futbolista: extended listening
