Why this why now
In this unit, pupils broaden their knowledge of the preterite with irregular verb 'dar'. They embed 'dar' in the present tense, and contrast it with the preterite. Pupils revisit 'dar' with nouns of emotion in the present tense, and build on this knowledge by using this structure in the preterite. Pupils already know how to form past participles and how to conjugate 'ser'. In this unit, they use 'ser' with a past participle and 'por' to form the passive.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know singular and plural persons of 'dar' in the present tense.
- Pupils know the idiomatic use of 'dar' with a noun to express an emotion.
- Pupils know how to form regular past participles and know a variety of irregular past participles.
- Pupils know singular and plural persons of 'ser' in the present tense.
- Pupils know sound-symbol correspondences [v] and [b], and strong vowels [a], [e], [o] including diphthongs with [i].
