Continue to extend knowledge of context-related vocabulary and additional elements of grammar, including:

• specifying a person, object or place using knowledge of the German case system (nominative, accusative and dative) and using definite and indefinite articles, kein, personal pronouns (including man) and possessive, demonstrative and interrogative adjectives such as sein, unser, dieser, jeder and welcher
• comparing the meanings and use of the German modal verbs with their English equivalents, for example, Wir müssen eine Schuluniform tragen; Man darf hier nicht essen
• understanding and applying verbs that can be combined with a separable or inseparable prefix that alters the meaning of the base verb, for example, Er kommt um 17.15 Uhr; Kommst du mit?; Ich bekomme manchmal Geld zum Geburtstag
• describing current, recurring and future actions using regular, irregular, modal, separable and inseparable verbs in the present tense, for example, Wir spielen morgen nicht mit; Er sieht viel fern; Ich muss meine Hausaufgaben machen; Nächstes Jahr bekommen wir neue Laptops
• describing past events and experiences in present perfect and/or simple past tenses using a limited range of common verbs, for example, Ich habe meine Hausaufgaben nicht gemacht, denn ich war am Wochenende krank
• using reflexive verbs in the present tense with their appropriate accusative reflexive pronouns to describe daily routines and express emotions and interests, for example, Ich dusche mich morgens; Interessierst du dich für Geschichte?; Wir freuen uns auf die Ferien
• expressing opinions using, for example, meiner Meinung nach; Ich glaube, dass … Wir sind dagegen/dafür
• understanding and using dative and accusative prepositions with their core meanings, for example, Ich komme aus der Stadt; Der Kuchen ist für dich
• experimenting (using models) with different structures to make comparisons, for example, Englisch ist schwieriger als Mathe; Welches Auto ist am sichersten?; Kaffee ist nicht so gesund wie Wasser
