What you’ll learn

I can say what someone else and I want to do on a summer trip to Lanzarote using 'querer'.

Key learning points

Reciting tongue twisters is a good way of practising sound-spelling correspondences and pronunciation.
Revisiting vocabulary helps develop confidence and communication.
Many adjectives follow the noun; they agree in gender and number wih the noun they're describing.
'Querer' means 'to want, wanting'. For 'I want', use 'quiero'; 'you want' - 'quieres'; 'she, he, it wants' - 'quiere'.
To say someone wants to do something, use the correct form of 'querer' plus the infinitive.

Words to know

quieres: 'you want', part of the verb 'querer' meaning 'to want, wanting'

Common mistakes

When describing something, adjectives come before the noun as they do in English.

In Spanish, adjectives mainly come after the noun and agree with the gender and number of the noun.

For parents, carers and teachers

Pupils could design a poster of the places they would like to visit in Lanzarote or an alternative location in a Spanish-speaking country. Additional research could be carried out using online resources (if available) or by using travel brochures for information.
