Common misconception
There is only one word for 'your' in Spanish and that is 'tu'.
In Spanish, if the possessive adjective 'your' comes before a singular or uncountable noun, we say 'tu', but if it comes before a plural noun we say 'tus'.
Teacher tip
In activity A2, the teacher might want to ask students to work in pairs. One pupil reads the sentence and another pupil translates. Then, they swap so that each pupil has a chance to read and translate.
