Welcome to the GCSE Spanish Study Group! :hello:

This is where you can chat with other students studying the same subjects as you and support each other as you head towards your exams :grouphugs:

You can post any useful tips and resources that you come across, offer support to others, share your successes, or just have moan when it gets tough! :yes:

heyyy
i’m doing aqa spanish for my gcses
I struggle with the different tenses and remembering all the verb endings
I use activelearn and conjuguemos for revision and before a test I just write a few sentences that basically include all the grammar features we need and then I can just adapt them in the writing test and waffle on for the rest without having to worry about including the fancy stuff

There are some small songs on youtube for each of the tenses. Just learn them for a few minutes and you should be fine! It worked really well for me !

I never knew that! That is very helpful! Verb endings and generic vocab is definitely my downfall when it comes to Spanish
