Key learning points
- [l] and [ll] do not sound the same in Spanish. [ll] is pronounced as in ‘calle’.
- Classifying words by parts of speech is one useful strategy for consolidating vocabulary.
- Hacer is an irregular verb. The singular forms are ‘hago’, I do/make, ‘haces’, you do/make, ‘hace’, she, he does/makes.
- We use ‘hace’ to talk about the weather: hace calor/frío/etc. This translates as ‘it is’ in English.
- Check verbs, nouns and adjectives, word order, little words and idiomacy when translating into Spanish.

Common misconception
When talking about the weather, I can translate directly from English (e.g. 'it's cold').
It's important to remember that Spanish uses the verb 'hacer' when talking about the weather. For example, 'it's cold' translates as 'hace frío'.
Teacher tip
Teachers might decide to guide pupils through the translation task, completing each sentence at a time or challenge students by giving them the checklist and encourage them to use it to tackle the translation independently.
