KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

This unit introduces the subjunctive. Pupils learn singular subjunctive forms of verbs 'tener', 'ser', and 'hacer', and instances when they should use the subjunctive. In other units, pupils learned to express the future using the inflectional future tense, which is revisited in this unit. Pupils learn to use the subjunctive to express the future after conjunction of time 'cuando'. They recap 'quisiera' with an infinitive and 'me/te/le gustaría' with an infinitive to express 'would like', and contrast this with the subjunctive used after verbs of wishing. This unit also revisits the preterite.
