Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- Reading and writing known and unknown words improves pronunciation and knowledge of sound-spelling correspondences.
- To mean 'we' with an -ar verb, remove -ar ending and add -amos. To mean 'they', remove -ar ending and add -an.
- To mean 'we' with an -er verb, remove -er ending and add -emos. To mean 'they', remove -er ending and add -en.
- To say we 'love, hate to do' something, use the 'we' form of 'amar' and 'odiar' followed by the infinitive.
- In English, phrases like 'we love' and 'we hate' can be followed by the infinitive (to + verb) or the gerund (-ing).
Keywords
-ar verb - a verb whose infiinitive ends in -ar
-er verb - a verb whose infinitive ends in -er
Infinitive - form of the verb found in a dictionary giving the general meaning of the verb
Gerund - the -ing form of the verb that functions as a noun in a sentence
Common misconception
When talking about what we like and hate, we change the ending of ‘amar’ or ‘odiar’ to say who loves or hates something and use the gerund (-ing form) of the following verb.
We change the ending of ‘amar’ or ‘odiar’ to say who loves or hates something, but the verb that follows is in the infinitive.
Teacher tip
Pupils could create mini surveys on household chores and ask one another whether they like, love or hate the different tasks. This would promote purposeful speaking and the results could be used for a class display.
