I can use a range of impersonal verbs in speaking and writing about plans for the weekend with friends.
Key learning points
- Using a range of impersonal verbs to your writing and speaking adds variety and complexity.
- Plan a speaking task answer carefully, pre-rehearse, and immediately repeat the task to improve performance.
- When a speaking scenario involves talking to a single friend, use the 'tu' form of the verb.
Words to know
- impersonal verb
- a verb that doesn’t refer to a particular person or thing, and whose subject is most often ‘il’ (it)
- idiom
- a saying which does not always have a literal meaning and which does not always translate directly into another language
Common mistakes
Idioms are the same in different languages.
Idioms can be specific to a language, culture or group of people. They are often impossible to translate directly. Their use adds variety and authenticity to students' work but it is necessary to discuss the idiom carefully when it is taught.
For parents, carers and teachers
- There are two versions of task B1. Option 1 is aimed at the majority of students. Option 2 is for students who may require some additional support. Option 1 is included in the video.
