      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can discuss sport and exercise using singular and plural 2nd person verbs.

      Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

      Key learning points

      1. 2nd person verbs refer to 'you' (singular or plural).
      2. To form 2nd person singular -ar verbs in the present tense, use the verb ending -as.
      3. To form 2nd person plural -ar verbs in the present tense, use the verb ending -áis.

      Keywords

      • 2nd person singular - form of pronouns and verbs used to refer to 'you' (one person)

      • 2nd person plural - form of pronouns and verbs used to refer to 'you' (several people)

      Common misconception

      To conjugate 2nd person plural -ar verbs, use the verb ending -ais.

      To conjugate 2nd person plural -ar verbs, use the verb ending -áis. The accent on the 'a' is important as it tells us to stress the final syllable.

      Teacher tip

      You could set a time limit for Task B1 to create a sense of urgency and competition.
