Description

This unit introduces idiomatic phrases 'acabar de' with the infinitive, 'seguir' with a present participle, and 'continuar' with a present participle. Pupils revisit third person singular and plural regular -er and -ir verbs in the preterite, interrogatives and question words.

Pupils learned to form the present participle in previous units. Now they combine it with 'seguir' and 'continuar' to mean 'to continue to' or 'to still be doing'. They also learn the idiomatic phrase 'acabar de' with an infinitive to mean 'to have just'. Pupils anchor third person singular and plural regular -er and -ir verbs in the preterite in the context of customs and festivals in Spain and Latin America, and secure using rising intonation and verb subject word order with question words.
