Welcome to this deck on the AQA GCSE Spanish Speaking Photo Card. This is a key part of your speaking exam where you'll be given a photo and asked to talk about it. We'll cover how to describe the photo, answer follow-up questions in different tenses, and express your opinions to achieve top marks.

In the exam, you'll have some preparation time to look at the photo and two questions written underneath it. You'll first be asked to describe the photo. Then, your teacher or examiner will ask you the two printed questions, followed by two more unpredictable questions on the same topic.

A great way to start describing the photo is with a general opening phrase. For example, you can say 'En la foto hay...' which means 'In the photo there is...' or 'En la foto puedo ver...' which means 'In the photo I can see...'.

To describe actions happening right now in the photo, you should use the present continuous tense. This is formed with the verb 'estar' plus the gerund, which is the '-ing' form of a verb in English. For example, 'está comiendo' means 'he or she is eating'.
