Generate language for a range of purposes in spoken and written texts, by extending understanding and use of context-related vocabulary and elements of the Chinese grammatical system, including:
- comparing ways in which tense is expressed, for example, 了 to indicate completion; 完 to indicate the achievement of a desired result; 想 to indicate intention; the use of verb negation 没有 to indicate negative past; 正在 to indicate action in progress
- exploring the uses of diverse time expressions and ways to sequence events in time, for example, 先…… 然后……; 一……就……; 了……就……; 才; 第一; 然后
- comparing the functions of prepositions and discussing the importance of context when determining their meanings in texts, for example, 跟; 对; 给
- applying processes of discourse development by joining, contrasting and sequencing 但是, 就, and exploring the use of cohesive devices and ways of extending, sequencing and elaborating ideas, for example, through the use of connectives, conjunctions and subject pronouns
- recognising and using the measure words 件 and 条
- using the number 千
- using 过 to express experience
- beginning to use 要 to express the future
- using the question word 多少？ to ask the price of something, for example, 多少钱？
- beginning to use the question phrase 怎么样？to ask an opinion
- using words for approximation, 多, 左右, 不
- experimenting with intensifiers, such as 挺 and 太, to add meaning, for example, 去日本旅行太贵了。; 我觉得挺好的。
