Recognise individual elements of spoken and written words, phrases and non-verbal forms of expression and notice how they combine to make or to change meaning
(ACLFRU066)

Continue to extend knowledge of context-related vocabulary and additional elements of grammar, including:

• increasing control of the conjugation of regular verbs in le présent, le passé composé, l’imparfait and of high-frequency irregular verbs such as avoir, être, faire, devoir, vouloir, savoir, aller, for example, Je suis allée en France pour rendre visite à ma famille française
• using le passé composé, recognising verbs conjugated with être as the auxiliary that involve agreement between subject and past participle, for example, Elles sont parties hier matin
• understanding the form and function of reflexive verbs, for example, Il se lève très tard; Nous nous promenons chaque soir; Je veux m’asseoir à côté de toi
• recognising and using idiomatic expressions such as those using avoir, for example, avoir soif, avoir sommeil, avoir peur
• extending use of l’impératif and le futur proche
• extending knowledge of negative constructions such as ne…plus, ne…rien, ne…jamais, ne…que
• understanding how to use modal verb forms to express possibility, obligation and ability, for example, Je peux m’imaginer…; Il doit partir demain… and impersonal expressions such as il faut… and on…
• learning to use direct object pronouns in conjunction with the present tense, for example, Je t’écoute, elle les mange tous les jours !
