Key learning points
- In Spanish, there are strong and weak vowels. The strong vowels are [a], [e] and [o]. These are pronounced separately.
- The weak vowels are [i] and [u]. They merge with [a], [e] and [o] to form a single syllable.
- Los Tres Reyes Mago is a very special celebration when children write letters to the Three Wise Men for gifts.
- Plural nouns means more than one person, place or thing.
- If a word ends in a vowel, add -s; in a consonant, add -es and in -z, remove it and add -ces.
