How to achieve a high grade in GCSE Spanish

1 Give your opinion in your writing and speaking –

Me gusta(n) -- No me gusta(n),

Me encanta(n) -- Odio,

Para mí -- En mi opinión -- Prefiero.
2 Use connectives to extend your sentences –

y,

o,

pero,

porque,

por lo tanto para + infinitive,

también.
3 Use past, present and future tenses and indicate them with time phrases/adverbs. If you are writing, for example, about healthy lifestyle it is a good idea to start with a paragraph talking about what you normally do, then something you did last week and finally what you plan to do in the future.

Ayer fue a la playa.

Normalmente como la ensalada .

La semana que viene voy a ir al cine.

Three more things to do to ensure you get a high grade in GCSE Spanish

1 Check agreements of verbs and adjectives –

Mi madre está cansada,

Me encanta la música pop porque es fanàtstica

Albondigas son deliciosas.
2 Use complex phrases to impress the examiner –

Tener que + infinitiv,

Mas (adjective) que,

Menos (adjective) que.
3 Learn how to conjugate these important irregular verbs off by heart –

Ser (to describe characteristics and permanent ideas),

Estar (to describe temporary ideas and the place something is),

Tener,

Ir,

Hacer.
