What you’ll learn

I can use the perfect tense and produce developed answers in a conversation about the environment and social issues.

Key learning points

  • To conjugate the perfect tense, use the verb ‘haber’ + past participle.
  • To form the past participle of regular -ar verbs, remove the -ar and add -ado.
  • To form the past participle of regular -er/ir verbs, remove the -er/ir and add -ido.
  • A well-developed conversation answer contains three verb clauses.

Words to know

perfect tense
verb tense used to express what has happened, e.g. ‘I have listened’, ‘you have bought’
verb clause
a piece of information that contains a subject and a verb

Common mistakes

I should keep my answers short in a conversation and avoid extending my sentences.

In a conversation, you should extend and develop your sentences to include at least three verb clauses.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • The questions for Task C1 can be simplified to be more suited to Foundation-tier students. Questions such as '¿Qué problemas sociales hay donde vives?' may be too complex for students at this tier.
