KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

In this unit, pupils build on their knowledge of the inflectional future tense with plural forms and further irregular stems. Pupils consolidate singular forms and practise plural forms in the context of planning a trip. They embed comparative structures whilst comparing their destination with their home country. Pupils consolidate indefinite adjective 'algún' and contrast it with pronouns 'alguno/a/os/as' and 'ninguno/a/os/as'. Pupils use 'desde hace' and 'llevar' with a time period and present participle to talk about how long they have been doing something in the context of cities.
