Why this why now
In this unit, pupils consolidate singular forms of the preterite of regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in the context of talking about past holidays. They will learn the plural forms in another unit. A subset of vocabulary from Years 7 and 8 is revisited. This will be a regular feature in Year 9 to ensure pupils regularly practice all words they have already learned. Pupils reinforce their knowledge that cognates in Spanish are pronounced differently to English, and identify how many syllables each word contains to reinforce knowledge of Spanish stress patterns.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know singular persons of regular -ar verbs in the preterite.
- Pupils know singular persons of regular -er and -ir verbs in the preterite.
- Pupils know a variety of question words.
- Pupils know how to form negative statements.
- Pupils know subject pronouns 'yo', 'tú', 'él', 'ella'.
- Pupils know to use rising intonation to change a statement into a question. They know these questions are translated with a form of 'do' in English.
- Pupils know if stress is on the final syllable of a word, and it ends in any consonant except ‘n’ or ‘s’, then there is no accent.
