Use context-related vocabulary in simple spoken and written texts to generate language for a range of purposes

Recognise and use grammatical features to form simple sentences, including:

• nouns 卫生间、公园
• adjectives 好、坏、大、小
• numbers
• using the joining word 和
• using measurement words 一间卧室;两把椅子
• recognising that in Chinese, verbs convey tense without conjugation, for example, explaining why 有 can mean ‘have’, ‘had’ and ‘will have’
• applying processes of discourse development, including 也 and 和
