Notice and use context-related vocabulary and understand some first elements of grammar to generate language for a range of purposes, including:
- understanding the French subject-verb-object structure, for example, Ma famille est grande; Il a deux amies and the different patterns of adjective-noun order with some common adjectives coming before and some coming after the noun, for example, le grand chien; la jolie fille; le papillon rose
- noticing definite and indefinite articles in singular or plural forms, for example, la fille, le concert, les croissants; un chapeau, une chaise; des amis, including the l’ form for nouns beginning with a vowel or letter h, for example, l’hiver, l’école
- recognising and using some prepositions in simple sentence structures, for example, Elle est devant la maison, Je suis sous la chaise
- developing number knowledge for ordinal numbers, for example, premier, deuxième
- developing language related to time (hour), months of year and days of week, for example, Il est dix heures; Mardi je vais à l’école; C’est le vingt mars
- using singular forms of common verbs in the present tense, for example, Je suis chinois; Tu as trois frères; Il aime le football; Papa est grand, and some forms of irregular verbs such as aller, venir and faire
- using simple questions and statements, for example, Qu’est-ce que c’est ?; Qui est-ce ?
