Extend knowledge of context-related vocabulary and identify features of grammar to organise and sequence ideas in simple spoken and written texts, including:
- how clauses of a sentence are linked coherently, joining, contrasting and sequencing ideas and information
- using alternative language to clarify intended meaning, for example, saying 我不胖不瘦 when they don’t know the phrase 中等身材
- comparing ways in which tense is expressed in Chinese and applying, for example, 了 to indicate completion; 完 to indicate the achievement of a desired result; 想 to indicate intention; verb negation 没有 to indicate incomplete past and 正在 to indicate action in progress
- using different ways to negate ideas depending on degree of formality or emphasis, for example,
我不是…;我不能…;不行;…别 (ACLCHU044) (ACLCHU060)
