Generate language for a range of purposes in spoken and written texts, by continuing to extend understanding and use of context-related vocabulary and elements of the Japanese grammatical system, including:

  • using character charts as a systematic framework for recognising patterns for verb conjugation and applying the formation rules of each verb group
  • understanding and applying the rules of the te-form
  • understanding that verbs can be divided into three groups according to the way they are conjugated, 五だん verb (five-step verbs),  一だん verb (one-step verbs) and irregular verbs
  • understanding and using verb て forms to express a range of ideas, such as requesting and giving permission and expressing prohibition, for example, ~てもいいです。;  ~てはいけません。;  ~てはだめです。
  • describing locations of homes, people and things using basic structures, such as, noun は place に あります。; noun は  place  に います。; place に noun が あります。; place に noun が います。
  • using a range of particles, for example,
    • が (subject, topic marker ~がいます /あります)
    • か (or)
    • に (purpose, indirect object, location)
    • で (location of action, by means, such as  ペンで、日本語(にほんご)で)
  • using いand な adjectives in the present and past tenses
  • using verb stems with grammatical features, such as ~たい、 ~ たくない、 ~ かった
  • asking and responding to questions, such as  どのぐらい?; いくつ?
  • increasing cohesion within paragraphs by using conjunctions, for example,それに/それで
  • elaborating ideas or statements using expressions, such as (こん)しゅう、 (せん)しゅう、 来年(らいねん)、いつも、 ぜんぜん、 あまり
  • expressing superlative forms using 一番(いちばん), for example, 一番好(いちばんす)きなかもくは日本語(にほんご)です
  • building vocabulary that relates to familiar environments, such as home and school, as well as places visited whilst travelling in Japan and/or Australia
  • understanding Japanese counting systems using units of 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000 and associated kanji, for example, (ひゃく)(せん)(まん)
  • extending the use of counter classifiers to include 〜(えん)、 ~(ふん)、 ~まい、 ~(ほん)、 ~つ、~(にち) (date)
  • expressing the location of items by using prepositions, such as (みぎ)(ひだり)(まえ)(うし)ろ、(うえ)(した)、 となり、 そば
