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 sentences to express details such as the time, place and manner of an action and to sequence ideas, including:
- comparing the use of tenses in English and Chinese, for example, how future tense is often expressed through time phrases in Chinese, for example, 我明天去北京;下个星期去上海
- identifying the use of adverbial phrases and extending understanding of sentence structure using subject–time–place–manner–verb–object, for example, 我星期一上学;我在澳大利亚上学;
我走路上学 - examining the clauses of a sentence in Chinese and noticing how they are linked coherently, for example, 他叫王晓明,是我的朋友 (i.e. no subject/pronoun)
- applying processes of discourse development, including joining (也、和), contrasting (但是) and sequencing (就) information
