Why this why now
This unit strengthens essential knowledge of the vowel sounds and secures knowledge of ‘estar’ to be, being, one of the most frequent Spanish verbs. Secure use of ‘estar’ in short statements and both intonation and information questions enables pupils to initiate short interactions. Having previously learnt a number of -ar verbs, pupils now increase their verb repertoire in the classroom context, developing their aural understanding of teacher instructions. In later units, pupils will continue to extend the number of verbs they can use in the present tense.
Prior knowledge requirements

- Pupils know singular forms of 'estar' meaning to be (location and state).
- Pupils know how to ask intonation and information questions with 'dónde' and 'cómo'.
