GCSE SPANISH KS3 SPANISH KS4 SPANISH PRETERITE TENSE SPANISH CONJUGATION PRACTICE 25 high-frequency Spanish verbs, 150 conjugation questions, 3 differentiated challenges, answer keys ideal for advanced KS3 Spanish & beginner KS4 Spanish students who feel comfortable working with longer and more complex texts, which include a range of tenses. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom.
The workbook focuses on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage, but I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. Language learners tend to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language with the grammar of the language they are learning. For example, students with English as a first language frequently confuse the preterite tense with the imperfect tense when they are conjugating them, as well as when and how to use either tense.
The resource is structured as follows:
Two alphabetical verb reference lists: Spanish-English and English-Spanish, useful for longer-term reference too
Three differentiated conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations:
Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in Spanish across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation.
Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in Spanish, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in Spanish.
Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding Spanish verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from a Spanish prompt.
Notes and Next Steps template to encourage my students to reflect on their progress, and think about what they can reasonably and realistically do to meet learning targets and progress in their learning

SPANISH CONJUGATION PRACTICE 3 TENSES #1
**GCSE SPANISH KS3 SPANISH KS4 SPANISH CONJUGATION PRACTICE** ***3 tenses, 4 verb groups, 12 workbooks, 1,800 conjugations, answer keys and verb lists @ 75p each in the bundle*** ideal for ***advanced KS3 Spanish*** students who are beginning to work with ***compound sentences and longer texts***, and generally developing their ***knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in Spanish*** through to ***KS4 Spanish GCSE Spanish*** students who are regularly working with texts featuring ***a range of tenses***, including some ***authentic resources***. ***The tenses are:*** *present tense* (presente) *perfect tense* (perfecto compuesto) *preterite tense* (pretérito) ***The verb groups are:*** *Spanish -AR verbs Spanish -ER verbs Spanish -IR verbs Spanish high-frequency verbs* My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice, reinforcing and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for individual activities during cover lessons - I move onto conjugation quite quickly in my language learning programmes, so that students can ***apply language practically and creatively***, which is essential for ***progressing in language learning***, as well as ***consolidating language and grammatical concepts***. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practise the conjugations during the whole school year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how ***Spanish*** conjugation 'works'. ***The workbooks focus on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage***, but I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, with the ***Spanish present tense***, I encourage students to ***look for patterns*** across all the verbs, such as the ***singular pronouns, including for example the singular formal pronoun Usted form being identical***, which is fairly standard, but the conjugation of the ***formal singular Usted*** does frequently lead to errors at this stage of learning. Students do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language with that of the language they are learning, and with those whose first language is ***English***, I frequently see attempts such as ***yo soy / estoy trabajar*** for ***I am working*** or similarly***io hace trabajar*** for ***I do work***. I refer frequently the difference in usage, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the ***simple present and the continuous / progressive present tense***. ***Spanish*** does have a ***continuous present tense***, however, as usage is slightly different, it's useful to point this out whenever possible - I have separate workbooks in my store for the ***Spanish continuous present***. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written Spanish*** is accurate, and that their understanding of ***Spanish*** across the skills of ***listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. ***Each set is structured as follows:*** ***Two alphabetical verb reference lists***: Spanish-English and English-Spanish, useful for longer-term reference too ***Three differentiated conjugation challenges***, each with 50 individual conjugations, 150 conjugations in total: ***Conjugation Challenge 1***: each verb conjugated in Spanish across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. ***Conjugation Challenge 2***: gives the infinitive of each verb in Spanish, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in Spanish. ***Conjugation Challenge 3***: students write the corresponding Spanish verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from a Spanish prompt. I use the ***Notes and Next Steps*** template to encourage my students to reflect on their progress, and think about what they can reasonably and realistically do to meet learning targets and move on - we revisit the conjugations, and the ***Notes and Next Steps***, regularly - sometimes students haven't quite embedded learning before it's time to move on, so revisiting for 10-minute 'chunks' is really popular with them. Students not any new verbs they learn, which in time builds into a really comprehensive verb vocabulary bank. We also use the ***Notes and Next Step***s to inform, guide and focus whole-group discussion on learning and progress in general, which is a really popular activity. The ***answer key*** has six pages and is in book format. ***Answer keys*** are essential for this kind of learning activity, as they do provide a really essential additional opportunity for students to engage with language, and my students prefer to work and learn independently, assessing their own progress, either individually, in pairs or in small groups. They're a great teacher time-saver too, which is always a good thing! ***Try this free sampler - you'll be able to see if this kind of grammar activity would work well for your students:*** **SPANISH CONJUGATION PRACTICE FREE SAMPLER** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/spanish-conjugation-practice-sampler-12477165](http://) ***Currently in my store I have Spanish conjugation workbooks for a range of verb groups featuring the following tenses:*** **present** (presente) **perfect** (perfecto compuesto) **preterite** (pretérito) **imperfect** (pretérito imperfecto) **future** (futuro) **conditional** (condicional) **pluperfect** (pretérito pluscuamperfecto) **future perfect** (futuro perfecto) **conditional perfect** (condicional perfecto) ***Have a browse in my store for more Spanish grammar activities, and a wide range of Spanish language teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles, resource boxes, and lots of freebies - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** *Files are non-editable in a zipped format.
