Common misconception

Pronouns are often unnecessary in Spanish as verb endings indicate the person doing the action.
Teacher tip
For additional speaking practice, pupils could work in pairs or small groups to perform the poem. This would be a good opportunity for pupils to revise the key sounds but also provides practice at performance and speaking aloud.
