Increase control of context-related vocabulary and understand how sophistication in expression can be achieved by:

• using character charts as a systematic framework for recognising patterns for verb conjugation and applying the formation rules of each verb group
• requesting and giving permission and expressing prohibition using verb て form, for example,
  ～てもいいです；～てはいけません；～てはだめです
• using verb stems with grammatical features such as ～やすい／にくいです
• exploring how to use plain forms in authentic contexts such as conversations with peers, for example, 食べる？/見る？
• expressing opinions, intentions and thoughts using the plain form, for example, plain verb つもりです, verb /adjective とおもいます
• using adverbs and intensifiers such as かなり
• increasing cohesion within paragraphs by using conjunctions, for example, それに、それで
• indicating the status of actions using adverbs such as まだ and もう
• understanding the concept of uchi-soto 内と外 for making appropriate choices of register, for example, 食べる？/食べますか？

Further develop a metalanguage to describe and increase control of grammatical concepts and language elements and to organise learning resources such as verb charts and lists of vocabulary and sentence structures
