Notice and use context-related vocabulary and apply elements of grammar in simple spoken and written texts to generate language for a range of purposes, including:
- recognising the link between a noun’s gender and its definite/indefinite article and nominative pronoun in relation to people, for example, der Bruder, ein Bruder, er
- noticing that nominative and accusative indefinite articles denote an unspecified person or object, for example, Rotkäppchen hatte einen Korb
- using the possessive adjectives mein/e and dein/e or a form of haben and an indefinite article to express a relationship to a person, for example, Meine Schwester ist zehn Jahre alt; Ich habe einen Bruder
- comparing pluralisation of some nouns in German and English and using die for plural nouns in German, for example, der Apfel/die Äpfel
- describing a relationship using a possessive adjective, for example, mein/e, dein/e, sein/e, ihr/e
- understanding and using pronouns to refer to people, for example, ich, du, er, sie (singular); wir, ihr, sie (plural); Sie heißt Anna, Sie heißen Ben und Sarah
- using present tense forms of irregular verbs such as haben and sein and recognising similarities to the English verbs ‘to have’ and ‘to be’
- understanding and describing current and recurring actions using verbs such as essen, fliegen, fressen, laufen, leben,schwimmen, sprechen and trinken
- understanding the meaning of and using common time phrases and cohesive devices, for example, gestern, heute, dann and zuerst
