KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

In this unit, pupils refresh previously learned grammar and vocabulary in the context of everyday living. They reactivate their knowledge of the present and preterite including irregular verbs that they have learned throughout the course. Pupils anchor their knowledge of direct object pronouns and direct objects in one-verb and two-verb constructions in the context of shopping, supported with the use of modal verbs. Pupils form the present and imperfect continuous including irregulars, and accurately describe events in the past using the preterite and imperfect.
