Why this why now
In this unit, pupils embed their knowledge of -ar verbs and other verbs by combining them with 'no' to form the negative. In future units, pupils will learn more ways to form the negative. They practise forming the plural with -s, and learn a new way of forming the plural with -es for nouns that end in a consonant and therefore do not follow the typical -o or -a gender marking. Indefinite articles are revisited by combining them with 'hay' to mean 'there is' or 'there are'. New sounds z, que, qui are taught.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know how to form regular singular -ar verbs in the present tense.
