Key learning points
- Testing yourself on vocabulary helps you remember words and identify which words need more practice.
- In Spanish, the definite article (the word for the), changes according to gender and number: el, la, los and las.
- The opinion verbs 'amar' and 'odiar' can be used to say what you and others like or dislike.
- The endings for singular persons are -o for 'I', -as for 'you' and -a for 'she, he, it'.
- Subject pronouns (yo, tú, él and ella) are useful for comparing one person with another.
Words to know
- definite article
- word for 'the', which changes according to gender and number
- opinion verb
- verb that shows what someone thinks, feels or believes about something
Common mistakes
We use opinion verbs without the definite article in Spanish as in English, e.g. I love Spanish.
In Spanish, opinion verbs always use the definite article before nouns, e.g. Amo el español.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Using familiar vocabulary, pupils could adapt Guess Who game and play alternative versions to practise opinion verbs and revise other Spanish words.
