Increase control of regular and irregular elements of spoken and written French, using non-verbal elements, liaisons, accents and expression to engage interest
(ACLFRU084)

Increase control of context-related vocabulary and analyse how grammatical elements impact on the making of meaning in texts, including:

• noticing how grammatical choices can shade meaning, determine perspective and establish relationship, for example, an imperative verb mood can indicate authority or enthusiasm such as Arrêtez !; Allons-y !; Donnez-moi votre billet, Mademoiselle; shifting from the use of vous to tu can signal a more informal, friendly relationship
• exploring how choices of words such as nouns and adjectives can indicate values and attitudes, for example, C’est un bon à rien/C’est un brave jeune homme; Ce sont des illégaux/Ce sont des réfugiés
• using le présent, l’impératif, le futur proche, le passé composé and l’imparfait
• understanding and using in simple constructions le futur and le conditionnel
• understanding that past participles agree with the preceding direct object when the verb is conjugated with the auxiliary verb avoir, for example, J’ai acheté une tartelette aux
  fraises — je l’ai mangée trop vite !
• understanding and using infinitive verb forms and phrasal verbs such as avoir besoin de faire quelque chose; commencer à faire…
• using relative, emphatic and direct/indirect object pronouns, for example, qui, que, elle, eux, lui, leur, le, la, les
