• describing objects using simple adjectives, for example, kantor kecil; Ruang kelas saya besar; lapangan hijau
• specifying location using prepositions, for example, Ada buku di atas meja saya; di bawah, di dalam, di belakang
• seeking information using questions, for example, Kapan?; Dari mana?; Mau ke mana?
• linking ideas using conjunctions, for example, tetapi, atau
• locating events in time, for example, hari ini, kemarin, besok, sudah, belum, telling the time on the hour, for example, Kemarin saya pergi ke sekolah pada jam tujuh and using days of the week, for example, Pada hari Senin saya bermain bola basket
• understanding the rules for subject-verb-object sentence construction, for example, Saya bermain…; Saya makan… and possessive word order, for example, Adik laki-laki saya…; Tas Jake…
• recognising that the same rules of punctuation apply as in English, for example, using capital letters and full stops for sentences
