Key learning points

Common mistakes
Spanish 'yes and 'no' questions have to include the Spanish word for 'do' or 'does'.
There is no equivalent of the word 'do' in Spanish intonation questions. Moving between Spanish and English is an effective way to embed this knowledge.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Mini whiteboards may be useful to practise moving between Spanish and English intonation questions, helping pupils to overcome the cross-linguistic difficulty in their different formation.
