Why this why now

This unit introduces the subjunctive. Pupils learn singular subjunctive forms of verbs 'tener', 'ser', and 'hacer', and instances when they should use the subjunctive. In other units, pupils learned to express the future using the inflectional future tense, which is revisited in this unit. Pupils learn to use the subjunctive to express the future after conjunction of time 'cuando'. They recap 'quisiera' with an infinitive and 'me/te/le gustaría' with an infinitive to express 'would like', and contrast this with the subjunctive used after verbs of wishing. This unit also revisits the preterite.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know modal verb 'quisiera' with an infinitive and 'me/te/le gustaría' with an infinitive.
  • Pupils know irregular comparatives 'mejor que' and 'peor que'.
  • Pupils know neuter articles 'esto' and 'eso'.
  • Pupils know indirect object pronouns 'me', 'te', 'le'.
  • Pupils know sound-symbol correspondences [ce], [ci], [rr], [-r-], [-r], [r-], [a], [e], [i], [o], [u].

My personal world: influencias

This unit furthers pupils' knowledge of the subjunctive. Pupils learn singular subjunctive forms of 'ir' and 'venir', and use the subjunctive after verbs of emotion and 'para que'. Pupils refresh and learn new impersonal verbs, and are introduced to adjectival phrases with 'lo' and an adjective.
