Key learning points

- Spanish infinitives end in -ar, -er or -ir.
- Knowing a range of infinitives develops sentence building and allows pupils to recognise patterns when conjugating.
- Singular persons of regular -ar, -er and -ir verbs are used to describe what I, you and she, he, it is doing.
- These verbs combine with nouns, adjectives and conjunctions to make a detailed description.
