Common misconception
The 1st person singular form of 'influir' is 'influo'.
The verb 'influir' does not follow the normal pattern of -ir verbs. Verbs ending in -uir gain a 'y' in persons 1,2,3 and 6 to aid pronunciation. As such, the 1st person singular forms of 'influir' is 'influyo'.
In Learning Cycle 1, slides 9-13 and Task A2 contain Higher Tier vocabulary. In Learning Cycle 2, verbs like 'influir' is a Higher Tier grammatical concept, but reference to these in the explanation and tasks could be easily removed for Foundation Tier students.
