Why this why now
This unit builds on pupils' previous knowledge of singular and plural nouns with the definite articles, which are applied with the highly frequent irregular verb faire in singular persons. Pupils practise asking and answering intonation questions, with the new question word 'quoi' and a range of new vocabulary to extend their communicate competence.
