Unit Summary
This unit revisits direct and indirect object pronouns with object-first word order. Pupils learn the word order for direct and indirect pronouns in two-verb structures, and indirect object pronouns 'nos' and 'os'. They revisit a variety of present-tense and modal verbs.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to use indirect object pronouns and body parts to talk about what hurts.
Key Notes
- The definite article is used with body parts rather than 'my' 'yours', 'his'/'her', etc.
- 'Doler' (to hurt, to be painful) is very commonly used with an indirect object pronoun.
- In sentences with 'doler', the subject is the body part(s) so you need to use the correct verb ending for -er verbs.
- In a role play, you are expected to say a few words or a short phrase in response to each prompt/bullet.
Vocabulary To Learn
- Indirect object pronoun: replaces the person(s) or thing(s) receiving the action of the verb, when the meaning is 'to' or 'for' someone.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- One-word answers are sufficient in the role play.
