Additionally, they will learn how to apply this vocabulary to construct sentences using the verb 'there is/there are' and answer questions such as 'What is there in your house?' or 'What is there in your bedroom?'. Students will also be taught some prepositions of place to describe the location of items in the bedroom. Pupils will review the grammatical concept of adjectival agreement, which involves using the correct gender and number when describing parts of a house and items in the bedroom.
Pupils will be provided with the opportunity to improve their communication skills by incorporating vocabulary related to daily routines into their existing knowledge. They will learn a diverse range of sequence connectives to make their daily routine descriptions more complex.

Pupils will learn about the different places in a town and review vocabulary from previous units. They will also review how to use indefinite articles and make nouns plural. Additionally, they will learn how to construct sentences using the verb 'there is/there are' and answer the question 'What is there in your city?' while applying this vocabulary. Students will also review prepositions of location to describe where these places are located and directional instructions to answer the question 'Where is...?'.

This will allow them to extend their sentences and make them more complex.
