Why this why now
In this unit, pupils apply known and new vocabulary and grammar to longer texts, conversations and writing tasks as they discuss decisions about their future and universal experiences. Two-verb structures are embedded in different context and pupils extend their verb lexicon and communicative range by using verbs with à and de before an infinitive. A range of impersonal phrases with adjectives and de, including weather expressions, give pupils greater range, flexibility and variety in communicating and giving opinions in a range of contexts.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils can use some two-verb structures, for example, ‘aimer’ plus infinitive.
- Pupils know a number of -er, -ir and -re infinitive verbs.
- Pupils know the interrogative ‘quel’, ‘quels’, ‘quelle’ and ‘quelles’.
- Pupils know the demonstrative adjective ‘ce’, ‘cet’, ‘cette’ and ‘ces’.
- Pupils know the impersonal pronoun ‘on’.
- Pupils know the impersonal phrases ‘il n’y a pas’, ‘il n’y avait pas’ and ‘il ne faut pas’.
- Pupils know a range of impersonal weather expressions, e.g., il fait chaud.
