Systems of language
Recognise that Hindi sounds different in various parts of India and understand that each dialect is influenced by the local language of the region
Apply the knowledge of non-verbal communicative features of Indian culture to convey feelings and emotions
Consolidate knowledge of the features of the Hindi sound system, matras, conjunct sounds, bindu and chandrabindu and underdotted characters while pronouncing Hindi words
Consolidate the use of Hindi phonic and grammar rules to spell and write unfamiliar words
Generate language for a range of purposes in spoken and written texts by extending understanding and use of context-related vocabulary and elements of the Hindi grammatical system, including:
- applying a range of tenses in complex sentences to describe events across time; for example, पिछले वर्ष जैसे हमने होली का त्योहार मनाया था, उसी प्रकार इस वर्ष भी हम होली का त्योहार धूमधाम से मनाएंगे।
- applying active and passive voice across tenses; for example, दादीजी ने मेरे लिए स्वेटर बनाया था।; मैंने दादीजी से स्वेटर बनवाया था।
- applying the understanding of विलोम and पर्यायवाची words to express ideas in different contexts; for example, सूर्य को प्रणाम करो; आज सूरज बहुत तेज़ है; शहीदों के स्मारक पर सुमन अर्पण करो; फूल मत तोड़ो!
- consolidating the use and application of proverbs to enhance meaning and to accurately convey ideas
- applying the knowledge of and use of case (कारक); for example, ने, को, से, के लिए, में, पर
- extending the knowledge of text cohesion and basic joining (सन्धि) rules; for example, word ending in अ plus word starting in उ becomes the सन्धि sound ओ as in पूर्वोत्तर; आ+ओ=औ; सूर्य +उदय = सूर्योदय
