Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondences [ga], [go], [gu] can be contrasted for practice.
- To mean 'I' with an -ar verb, the ending changes to -o. For 'you', change to -as. For 'she, he, it', change to -a.
- Verb endings indicate the person doing the action. Pronouns are not often used.
Keywords
-ar verb - a verb whose infinitive form ends in -ar
Common misconception
Pronouns need to be used to indicate the person doing the action.
Pronouns are often unnecessary in Spanish as verb endings indicate the person doing the action.
For additional speaking practice, pupils could work in pairs or small groups to perform the poem. This would be a good opportunity for pupils to revise the key sounds but also provides practice at performance and speaking aloud.
