I can understand and use direct and indirect object pronouns in the perfect tense, exploring the context of immigration.
Key learning points
- Indirect object pronouns met are: me, te, lui, and vous. They replace the indirect receiver of the action of the verb.
- When somebody or something receives the action of a verb indirectly, we use me to mean ‘to me’ and te to mean ‘to you’.
- When somebody or something receives the action of a verb indirectly, we use lui to mean ‘to him’ or ‘to her’.
- An [-s] which is normally an SFC will be pronounced when followed by a vowel. This is called liaison.
Words to know
- object pronoun
- a pronoun that replaces the object in a sentence
- silent final consonant (SFC)
- silent letter (d, s, t, x) at the end of a word
- liaison
- the linking of a normally silent final consonant to the beginning of the next word when it starts with a vowel sound
Common mistakes
Silent final consonants are always silent.
The liaison rule means that Silent Final Consonants are pronounced when the next word starts with a vowel sound (including silent h).
For parents, carers and teachers
- For the first slide of cycle 2, introducing Mali, the text has overlays to enable the keywords for understanding in the text to be displayed in banner colour. This is to support students as they make notes of what they understand from the text.
