Why this why now

In this unit, pupils anchor their knowledge of -ar verbs and modal verbs through understanding of an authentic text. They learn the third person plural form of -ar verbs and contrast this with the third person singular which is familiar to them. They revisit modal verbs and 'ser' and 'estar' in plural persons. Pupils revisit key sounds z, que, qui, ll, l.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know singular persons and the first person plural of regular -ar verbs in the present tense.
  • Pupils know modal verbs 'poder', 'deber', 'querer'.
  • Pupils know the first and third persons plural of 'ser' and 'estar'.
  • Pupils know the difference between 'ser' and 'estar'.
  • Pupils know sound-symbol correspondences [z], [que], [qui], [ll], [l].
