Why this why now

In other units, pupils learned neuter 'eso' and demonstrative adjectives 'ese', 'esa', 'esos', 'esas'. Pupils now build on this knowledge with demonstrative adjectives 'aquel', 'aquella', 'aquellos', 'aquellas', and neuter demonstrative 'aquello', to indicate objects when shopping. Pupils are already familiar with singular forms of 'dar' in the present tense, and now learn plural forms. They recap singular forms of 'hacer', verbs like 'poner', and verbs like 'concocer'.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know demonstrative adjectives 'ese', 'esa', 'esos', 'esas'.
  • Pupils know singular and plural persons of 'dar' in the present tense and preterite.
  • Pupils know singular and plural persons of 'hacer' in the present tense and can use 'hace' with a noun to talk about the weather.

  • Pupils know that verbs like 'poner' add g to the first person singular and that verbs like 'conocer' add z to the first person singular in the present tense.
