Increase control of context-related vocabulary and understand how sophistication in expression can be achieved by:
- understanding and applying the rules of the plain form and knowing that the basic form of all Japanese verbs ends in -u, -eru or -iru, the forms they are listed under in dictionaries
- understanding that verbs can be divided into three groups according to the way they are conjugated, 五だん verb (five-step verbs), 一だん verb (one-step verbs) and irregular verbs
- using character charts as a systematic framework for recognising patterns for verb conjugation and applying the formation rules of each verb group
- using verb て form to connect events, for example, 朝おきてジョギングをします
- understanding and using the different functions of verb て form
- using present continuous tense using verb
ています, for example, ラジオを聞いています - using verb stems with grammatical features such as ～に行きます。
- expressing number of actions, for example,
たり～たりします - using adverbs as formulaic expressions, for example, 早く、おそく
- increasing cohesion within paragraphs by using conjunctions, for example, ですから
Further develop a metalanguage to describe and increase control of grammatical concepts and language elements and to organise learning resources such as verb charts and lists of vocabulary and sentence structures
