      Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

      Key learning points

      1. It is important to have a good knowledge of sound-spelling correspondences to produce accurate transcriptions.
      2. The inflectional future is a 1-verb structure used to say what will happen in the future.
      3. Singular conjugations of the inflectional future are formed by adding the endings -é, -ás or -á to the infinitive.
      4. The verbs 'poner' and 'haber' have irregular stems in the future tense: 'pondr'- and 'habr-'.

      Keywords

      • Sound-symbol correspondence - relationship between letters and their sounds

      • Inflectional future - 1-verb structure used to say what will happen in the future

      Common misconception

      When conjugating verbs in Spanish, you always need to start by taking off the infinitive ending.

      Some verb tenses, such as the inflectional future, are formed by adding the relevant ending to the infinitive. As such, the infinitive ending is not taken off.

      Teacher tip

      You could increase the level of challenge in Task B2 by changing parameters, e.g. instructing students to include at least two inflectional future verbs per answer.
