Common misconception
As in English, there is one way of saying 'your' in Spanish.
Saying 'your' in Spanish depends on the number of people you are speaking to and the following noun. To mean ‘your’ for one person before a singular noun, use ‘tu’, and for more than one person, use 'vuestro' or 'vuestra'.
Teacher tip
If greater scaffolding is required for Task C2, you could play the audio twice to allow students to focus on one thing at once. The first time round students would select the correct word and the second time they would write the action.
