Common misconception
Like in English, pronouns are needed with verbs to know who the verb refers to.
Pronouns are not often necessary in Spanish. Verb endings change to indicate the person who the verb refers to.
Teacher tip
It may be helpful to have printouts or for pupils to make their own battleships grids so that they can keep track of their own, and their partner's, progress. In doing so, the number and choice of verbs can also be differentiated to cater to the different abilities of your pupils.
