I can use my knowledge of singular forms of -ar and -er verbs to say what I and others do and to understand a text about music lessons.
Key learning points
- Secure knowledge of sound spelling correspondences helps when pronouncing unfamiliar vocabulary.
- Using singular persons of -ar, -er, -ir present tense verbs allows me to say what I and others do.
- You can use context and known vocabulary to help you work out the meaning of unfamiliar words.
- Reading texts in the target language supports learning new vocabulary in context.
Words to know
- sound-spelling correspondence
- the relationship between letters and their sounds
- verb
- a word that communicates actions or states
Common mistakes
Like in English, pronouns are needed with verbs to know who the verb refers to.
Pronouns are not often necessary in Spanish. Verb endings change to indicate the person who the verb refers to.
For parents, carers and teachers
- It may be helpful to have printouts or for pupils to make their own battleships grids so that they can keep track of their own, and their partner's, progress. In doing so, the number and choice of verbs can also be differentiated to cater to the different abilities of your pupils.
