A. The scope and sequence was developed after extensive review and market research. It was felt that the main need was to provide students ample time to acquire and “digest” each grammar point before moving on. Also time to review and recycle is also necessary. Grammar points necessary for communication take precedence in the Saludos / Recuerdos program. Q. Why is the subjunctive presented for the first time in chapter 9 of ¡Saludos! ? A. The subjunctive is presented in Chapter 9 of Saludos. Students learn the forms in conjunction with the study of formal commands (necessary in first year) and incorporate the uses little by little in subsequent chapters. This continues on into the Recuerdos section of the program.
