KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

Pupils already know direct object pronouns 'lo', 'la', 'los', 'las' and indirect object pronouns 'me, 'te, 'le', 'les' in one-verb constructions. They also know modals 'querer', 'poder', 'deber', and 'tener que', and 'sé'. In this unit, they build on this knowledge with word order for direct and indirect pronouns in two-verb structures. Pupils expand indirect object pronouns with 'nos' and 'os'. They also revisit -er and -ir verbs in the present tense as well as irregular verbs, ensuring accuracy of language.
