Notice and use context-related vocabulary and apply elements of grammar in simple spoken and written texts to generate language for a range of purposes, including:

• observing the relationship between subject pronouns and verb endings, using je/tu/il/elle/on + present tense of verbs associated with familiar actions and environments, for example, Il se lève à sept heures; Je vais à l’ecole à huit heures; Tu aimes le français; Elle est en classe; On commence à 8h30
• expressing negation in simple sentence structures and colloquial expressions, for example, Je ne sais pas; Elle ne mange pas; Tu ne viens pas ?; Pas du tout !
• using an increasing range of adjectives including additional gender forms, for example, blanc/blanche, gros/grosse, petit/petite, grand/grande
• using some adverbs to elaborate on simple verb statements, for example, Elle mange lentement; Je chante doucement; Il parle très vite
