  • Verb: to be, being

Description

In this unit, pupils learn plural forms 'estamos' and 'están' and 'somos'. They contrast 'estar' for state or mood with 'ser' for traits. Pupils combine plural verbs with adjective agreement. They learn that 'de' and 'el' combine to form 'del' and contrast this with 'de la'.

In this unit, pupils further their knowledge of 'ser' and 'estar' by adding in plural forms 'estamos' and 'están' and 'somos', and revisiting other forms of these verbs. They anchor their understanding of state and mood with 'estar' and traits with 'ser' to talk about what people are like today or in general. Adjective agreement is revisited in combination with these verbs. Pupils are already familiar with the preposition 'de' and now combine it with the definite article following positional adverbs to talk about where something is. Pupils revisit key sounds cu with a vowel and ce, ci.

  1. Where things are: adverbs of position
  2. Where people are: 'estar' in 1st and 3rd person plural
