KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

This unit revisits plural preterite forms of -ar verbs. Pupils are already familiar with singular forms of -er and -ir verbs in the preterite, and now add '-imos' and '-ieron' to their repertoire. They refresh singular forms by contasting them with the new plural preterite forms, and also contrast preterite '-imos' with present tense '-imos' and '-emos', as this is an area of linguistic difficulty. Pupils revisit possessive adjectives 'mi', 'mis', 'tu', 'tus', 'su', 'sus' and expand 'nuestro/a' to include plural forms 'nuestros/as'. New sounds je, ja, jo, ju are compared to ge, ga, go, gu.
