Use context-related vocabulary and develop and apply knowledge of grammatical elements in simple spoken and written texts to generate language for a range of purposes, including:
- using je/tu/il/elle/on/nous/vous/ils/elles + present tense of regular -er, -ir and -re verbs and of high‑frequency irregular verbs such as avoir, être, aller and faire
- using the indicative + the infinitive, for example, J’aime jouer au tennis; Ils vont faire du surf and le futur proche, for example, Je vais partir
- becoming familiar with le passé composé, for example, J’ai mangé trois biscuits; Elle a dormi sous les étoiles
- formulating questions using Est-ce que… ? and experimenting with inverted form of the verb, or changed intonation, for example, Est-ce que tu joues de la guitare ?; Joues-tu de la guitare ?; Tu joues de la guitare ?
- understanding and using negative constructions, for example, Tu ne viens pas au cinéma ?, and including the use of de after a negative verb form, for example, Je n’ai pas de photos
- using exclamations to indicate agreement, disagreement, intention or understanding, for example, D’accord !; Mais non !; Bien sûr !; Voilà !
