Increase control of context-related vocabulary and analyse how grammatical elements impact on the making of meaning in texts, including:

  • introducing additional information when describing actions, people and objects by using a range of prepositions, including articulated prepositions and special uses of a, di and da
  • using pronouns to refer to the person carrying out an action or to refer to somebody or something, including subject pronouns (use, position and elusion), reflexive pronouns, direct object pronouns and recognising indirect object pronouns
  • using adverbs and adverbial phrases of manner, place and time to modify the meaning of verbs and adjectives, for example, proprio, troppo, abbastanza, specialmente, soprattutto, spesso, quasi mai, nemmeno, neanche
  • describing events across different times, choosing appropriate tenses, including present, present perfect, imperfect and future tenses and the conditional mood
  • beginning to use the future tense
  • recognising to use the conditional tense in modelled language
  • exposure to the impersonal si, using modal verbs to express ability, possibility, likelihood and permission
  • connecting or elaborating clauses by using conjunctions, including, anche, dunque, siccome, invece and quindi, for example, Non c’era più niente da vedere, quindi sono tornato a casa

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