Increase control of context-related vocabulary and extend grammatical knowledge of grammatical elements, including:

  • recognising when to use appropriate tense (present, present perfect, simple past, future) with a range of regular and irregular verbs, including, common reflexive verbs, transitive and intransitive verbs, modal verbs and verbs with separable and inseparable prefixes
  • using the different imperative forms of verbs for peers and adults, for example, SpielSpielt/Spielen Sie mit! Sei/Seid/Seien Sie willkommen!
  • connecting and contrasting ideas, events and actions using a variety of conjunctions and cohesive devices, including embedded clauses such as relative clauses and noticing the word order, for example, Um Geld zu haben, muss man einen Job finden; Entweder werde ich Klempner oder Elektriker. Der Film, den du sehen willst, läuft jetzt im Kino
  • noticing and experimenting with compound forms such as common da- and
    wo(r) -
    constructions, for example, Was machst du damit?; Woran erinnerst du dich?
  • linking and sequencing events and ideas using a range of cohesive devices, including adverbs (danach, vorher, dann, früher) and common conjunctions (als, dass, obwohl, wenn, weil), usually with the subordinate clause after the main clause
  • understanding and using the accusative, dative and ‘two-way’ prepositions accurately with regard to case and meaning, including a limited range of common idiomatic prepositional phrases, for example, Meine Eltern sind mit 21 aus Deutschland ausgewandert; Sie denken oft an ihre Kindheit
  • modifying meaning through the use of adverbs and adverbial phrases, for example, Das haben sie schon gemacht; Lauft so schnell wie möglich zum Supermarkt!

Further develop a metalanguage to discuss and explain grammatical forms and functions
