Use appropriate Italian pronunciation, stress and intonation in sentences, developing control of pronunciation of consonant and vowel combinations, double consonants, intonation, stress and accents when speaking and reading aloud
(ACLITU089)

Increase control of context-related vocabulary and extend grammatical knowledge, including:

• beginning to use pronouns to refer to the person carrying out an action or to refer to somebody or something, including personal pronouns (use, position and elusion), direct object pronouns and reflexive pronouns, for example, La mia amica del cuore si chiama Stella. Parlo con lei ogni giorno e la vedo ogni sabato sera
• recognising that adverbs and adverbial phrases of manner, place and time modify the meaning of verbs and adjectives, for example, proprio, troppo, abbastanza, specialmente
• describing events across present and past, choosing appropriate tenses, including present, present perfect and imperfect tenses
• exposure to the conditional mood in formulaic expressions

Further develop a metalanguage to discuss and explain grammatical forms and functions
