Why this why now
In this unit, pupils continue to consolidate common irregular -re and -ir verbs, and add 'dormir' in singular persons. Revisiting common verb patterns and gradually introducing common irregular ones is essential in building and securing this knowledge. Negation is introduced, with 'ne...pas' for single verb structures, and 'ne...pas de' before a noun with 'il y a', 'avoir, 'être' and 'faire'. Applying known and new vocabulary (including prepositions) helps build confidence with the new structures.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know common -ir verbs 'sortir' and 'venir' in the present tense.
