I can create a list using singular and plural indefinite articles and nouns, and 'hay'.
Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondence [qui] can be contrasted for practice with the key sound [ci].
- Indefinite articles 'unos' and 'unas' mean 'some' before masculine and feminine plural nouns.
- 'Hay' means 'there is' or 'there are' depending whether it precedes a singular or plural noun.
Words to know
- indefinite article
- the words 'a', 'an' and 'some'
- unos
- the word for 'some' before masculine plural nouns
- unas
- the word for 'some' before feminine plural nouns
- hay
- verb meaning 'there is' or 'there are' depending whether it comes before singular or plural nouns
Common mistakes
'Hay' changes when followed by a plural, as 'there is' does in English, changing to 'there are'.
'Hay' means 'there is' and 'there are'. The word stays the same but the meaning changes when followed by a plural noun.
For parents, carers and teachers
- To bring the language into a real-life context, teachers could proivde pairs /groups of pupils with a selection of actual objects to create own lists.
