Key learning points
- Stem-changing verbs like 'pedir', 'querer' and 'poder' have a spelling change in singular persons and 3rd person plural.
- Present '-ER' verbs in 1st, 2nd and 3rd person plural have the ending -emos, -éis, -en.
- Indirect object pronouns replace the receiver of the action of the verb, when the meaning is 'to me', 'for you'.
- Use 'me' if the person affected by the verb is 'me', 'te' if it's you and 'le' if it's him, her or it.
- Spanish sentences can start with the subject or with the object.

Common mistakes
Spanish sentences always start with the subject.
Spanish sentences can start with the subject or with the indirect object. This is important when using indirect object pronouns as they can come before the verb (e.g. 'me interesan las matemáticas').
For parents, carers and teachers
- Teachers might make use of mini whiteboards for writing tasks in order to guide student practice and check students' understanding, addressing gaps in their knowledge appropriately.
