Generate language for a range of purposes in simple spoken and written texts, by using context-related vocabulary and applying elements of the Chinese grammatical system, including:
- beginning to recognise verb types found in Chinese, for example, adjectival verbs (高, 大) and modal verbs (会, 可以)
- beginning to use adverbs, for example, 都 to indicate inclusion and 就 to indicate sequence
- applying the placement of time and place phrases; the use of conjunctions (for example, 和 to add information); 还是/或者 to offer or indicate choices; and the role of measure words, for example, 个, 只
- exploring the clauses of a sentence in Chinese and noticing how they are linked coherently, for example, 他叫王晓明, (他) 是我的朋友 (zero subject/pronoun)
- using familiar verbs for daily routine, such as 起床, 去睡觉, 吃, 去上学, 玩, 学习, 听音乐, 读书／看书, 看电视
- applying processes of discourse development by joining, contrasting and sequencing using 也, 和
- exploring the concept of ‘tense’ across languages
- recognising and usingsuggestion word 吧
- using time phrases/expressions, such as 上午, 下午, 三点, 现在, 半, 刻, 分
- beginning to use 跟 as a preposition
