Use context-related vocabulary and develop and apply knowledge of grammatical elements in simple spoken and written texts to generate language for a range of purposes including:
- understanding and describing current, recurring and future actions, including by using common separable verbs such as aufstehen, ausgehen, aussehen, fernsehen, mitkommen and mitnehmen
- understanding and expressing obligation and permission using the modal verbs müssen and dürfen, for example, Ich darf zu dir kommen; ich muss mein Zimmer aufräumen
- making comparisons using simple structures such as Ich mag Erdbeeren lieber als Kiwis; Radfahren ist besser als Autofahren
- using the comparative and superlative of adjectives,for example, gut, besser am, besten; klein, kleiner, am kleinsten; alt, älter, am ältesten
- comparing the meaning of the modal verbs wollen, sollen, mögen and können with their English equivalents
- noticing that some verbs can be combined with a separable or inseparable prefix that alters the meaning of the base verb, for example, Er kommt um 17.15 Uhr; Kommst du mit?; Ich bekomme $50 zum Geburtstag
- understanding and speaking about past events by adapting modelled sentences in the present perfect tense and using knowledge of common verbs in the simple past tense, for example, Ich habe heute meine Hausaufgaben nicht gemacht; Wir sind nach Bali geflogen
- describing frequency using adverbs and adverbial expressions such as oft, manchmal, jeden Tag, immer, selten and nie
- understanding the meaning of the conjunctions dass and weil
- understanding questions using warum and responding with a simple sentence, for example, Warum bist du müde? Ich habe heute Fußball gespielt
- referring to a date, including the year, for an event such as a birth, for example, Meine Oma ist am 11. April 1956 geboren
- understanding and locating events in time, including the use of the 24-hour clock, prepositions such as nach and vor and formulaic expressions such as früher; später; am Wochenende; in den Ferien
Build a metalanguage in German to describe patterns, grammatical rules and variations in language structures
