Why this why now
In this unit, pupils consolidate their knowledge of avoir and être and adjective placement and agreement as they apply it in the context of describing a friend. Grammatical gender is reinforced with the introduction of the definite articles, and application of nouns and determiners extended with regular plural nouns and 'les'. New vocabulary including adverbs and feminine job titles extends pupils' communicative competence in writing. It also encourages the development of a personal repertoire as pupils can add their own vocabulary to describe a friend.
