  • formulating questions using Est-ce que… ? and recognising the inverted form of the verb, or changed intonation, for example, Est-ce que tu as une piscine chez-toi ?; As-tu une piscine chez-toi ?; Tu as une piscine chez-toi ?
  • understanding the function of verb moods, recognising and knowing how to use imperatives, for example Commence !; Écoutez !; Allons-y !
  • using additional prepositions to indicate direction or location, for example, à gauche, à droite,
    à côté de…
