  • The present

Description

In this unit pupils are introduced to the first person plural of -ar verbs, which they contrast with the singular. Pupils learn singular forms of modal verbs 'deber' and 'poder', modal verbs in negative statements, 'querer' with an infinitive. Key sounds revisited are e, i, u, ca, co, cu.

In this unit, pupils anchor their knowledge of -ar verbs with more prototype verbs, and build on this by adding the first person plural. Pupils will already be familiar with singular 'querer' plus a noun, and now learn to combine this with the infinitive to mean 'want to'. They also learn singular forms of modal verbs 'deber' and 'poder' and combine these with the infinitive. Pupils draw on their knowledge of negation to negate sentences with modal verbs. Pupils revisit key sounds e, i, u, ca, co, cu.
