What you’ll learn

I can produce extended descriptions of relationships with friends and family in conversation.

Key learning points

  • To conjugate reflexive verbs, place the pronouns 'me', 'te', 'se', 'nos', 'os' or 'se' before the conjugated verb.
  • Indirect object pronouns precede conjugated verbs in 1-verb structures, e.g. 'me hablan todos los días'.
  • Indirect object pronouns can precede the conjugated verb or follow the infinitive/gerund in 2-verb structures.

Words to know

reflexive
describes an action where the subject and object of the verb are the same
pronoun
word that takes the place of a noun, like ‘it’, ‘you’, ‘she’

Common mistakes

The only meaning of 'por' is 'for'.

'Por' can mean several things in Spanish. For example, in addition to 'for', it can also mean 'by' and 'in' in certain contexts.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • Learning Cycle 1 includes Higher-tier vocabulary. Sentences 5-6 in Task B1 contain Higher-tier grammar. You can encourage students to adapt the family members included in the grid for Task C1 to suit their own family contexts.
