This KS4 Spanish resource is designed to help students master the use of the preterite and imperfect tenses, fully aligned with the AQA GCSE Spanish specification. It includes a clear cultural text on Cristóbal Colón y el Día de la Hispanidad, followed by structured activities that develop confidence with past‑tense narration, comprehension and translation skills.

The resource provides high‑quality, exam‑focused practice that supports both Foundation and Higher learners. Students work with authentic yet accessible Spanish, building essential skills for the Reading, Writing and Translation papers. Tasks include gap‑fills, verb selection, sentence transformations, comprehension questions and GCSE‑style translation, all designed to strengthen understanding of when and why each past tense is used.

This resource is ideal for classwork, homework, revision or cover lessons. It saves teachers time by offering ready‑to‑use materials that reinforce key grammar, cultural knowledge and exam technique. It is also suitable for independent study and targeted intervention.
