Description

This unit furthers pupils' knowledge of the subjunctive. Pupils learn singular subjunctive forms of 'ir' and 'venir', and use the subjunctive after verbs of emotion and 'para que'. Pupils refresh and learn new impersonal verbs, and are introduced to adjectival phrases with 'lo' and an adjective.

Pupils learned how to use the subjunctive in a previous unit. Now they broaden the scenarios in which they can use the subjunctive, and learn further verbs in the subjunctive. Pupils contrast 'ir' in the subjunctive and indicative. Pupils embed impersonal verbs 'hay que', 'se puede' and 'se necesita' by giving travel recommendations, and expand their knowledge with further impersonal verbs. They learn how to form adjectival phrases with lo and an adjective such as 'lo bueno' and 'lo mejor'. Pupils revisit a range of grammatical structures, creating a solid foundation of knowledge to draw on.
