What’s the focus of the Worksheet?

This single-sheet A4 worksheet looks at the Spanish names of animals we would typically come across on an African safari. Although this language may not be particularly relevant to Spain or Latin America, the worksheet uses it as a starting point for looking at verbs and phrases for describing holiday and travel experiences. If you are a teacher, we recommend using this resource as part of a more general class on talking about travelling and visiting foreign countries. In our example phrases we mainly use the PRETÉRITO PERFECTO SIMPLE tense.
