Verbs (including tenses) and Questions

They will learn some common time words to help with this, such as yesterday, today and last week. Students will also learn to ask and answer questions to add to those they already know. These will include asking about hobbies, family members and physical attributes, for example ‘Do you have brown eyes?'
Unit 2:
TV, Music and Movies
Students will learn how to describe and converse about TV programmes, music/musicians and films they like or dislike, along with giving reasons for their preferences.
