KS4 Spanish: Subjunctive (Environment)

Introducing the Present Subjunctive in an environment context for GCSE students, once pupils have already learnt some environment vocabulary.

Doesn’t include the endings in the Presentation (you’ll need to write them on the board or add a slide) but focusses on how to USE the subjunctive after certain phrases, mainly: “es necesario que”, “es importante que”, “es esencial que” (so it’s not a comprehensive guide to the use of the subjunctive - just a way in.)

Lots of examples given (from Global Issues/Environment context) contrasting the subjunctive with the indicative.

Includes irregulars haber, ser and ir.

Example sentences where students put the verb into the subjunctive on their mini-whiteboards.
Plus some sentences for them to translate.
