Why this why now
In this unit, pupils expand their knowledge of present tense forms of 'ir' by adding second person plural form 'vais'. They use this to form sentences using 'vais a' with an infinitive to express future meaning, and also consolidate other plural forms of 'ir' with 'a'. They revisit singular forms of 'ir' in the preterite, and contrast these with singular present tense forms to talk about where people go and went. Pupils refresh combining 'ir' with 'al' and 'a la', and adverbs ending '-mente'. In phonics, pupils revisit use of accents, and revisit key sounds gue versus ge and gui versus gi.
