This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
This unit develops pupils' verb knowledge. Pupils use singular and new plural forms in various contexts, including the languages classroom, a fundraising event, daily activities, a dream scene and Las Fallas festival. They use negation and conjunctions 'también' and 'pero' in extended sentences.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to say what you and others do in the summer.
Key Notes
- Sound-spelling correspondences [r] and [rr] look similar and have the same letter; however, they make a different sound.
- Verbs communicate what I and others do or how they are.
- Hacer is an irregular -er verb in the 'I' form. I do is hago.
- Regular verbs follow regular rules; we change the -ar and -er infinitives to match the person doing the verb.
- To say 'she, he, it' with regular -er and -ar verbs, remove the -er / -ar. For -ar verbs, add -a, and for -er, add -e.
Vocabulary To Learn
- hago: I do, part of the verb 'hacer' meaning to do, doing
- haces: you do, part of the verb 'hacer'
- hace: she, he, it does, part of the verb 'hacer'
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- The sound-spelling correspondences [r] and [rr] look similar so are pronounced the same way.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain what you can now say or understand in this lesson.
Sound-spelling correspondences [r] and [rr] look similar and have the same letter; however, they make a different sound. Verbs communicate what I and others do or how they are.
2. Define this key language word and use it in context. 'hago'
I do, part of the verb 'hacer' meaning to do, doing. Say or write it in a short sentence so you use the word actively.
3. Correct this common language-learning mistake.
Mistake: The sound-spelling correspondences [r] and [rr] look similar so are pronounced the same way. Correction: [r] and [rr] are pronounced differently. The [r] is a soft sound like a quick tap of your tongue and the [rr] is a rolling sound - your tongue vibrates or rolls, like when you make the sound of a telephone ring - brrrrring, brrrrring!
