Why this why now

In this unit, pupils consolidate their knowledge of preterite singular forms of regular -ar, -ir, and -er verbs and irregular forms of 'hacer' and 'ir'. Pupils will learn plural forms of the preterite in another unit. They also consolidate present tense singular and plural regular -ar, -ir, and -er verbs. They revisit listening to and asking questions in the past and present using rising intonation, and are reminded that Spanish does not use do, did or does to ask questions. The unit revisits penultimate syllable stress.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know singular persons of regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs in the preterite.
  • Pupils know all persons singular and plural of regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs in the present tense.
  • Pupils know the preterite is used for completed actions in the past.
  • Pupils know to turn a statement to a question by using rising intonation, and that this is translated with a form of 'do' in English.
