Understand and control context-related vocabulary and develop understanding of how to control elements of the Japanese grammatical system, including;
- understanding the different functions of a range of particles such as が (topic marker), を (object marker), に (time, date, place, destination, for)
と (and, with), で (location, action, means),
へ (direction, destination), ～から ～まで (from, as far as, distances) - describing daily routines and schedules for a week, using a range of particles to form sentences, for example, 六時にうちで兄とごはんを食べます
- using い and な adjectives in the present tense in negative forms, for example, おいしくないです；しずかじゃないです
- using noun phrases with an adjective, for example, きれいなうみです；おいしいレストランです
- understanding that the exact word order of noun phrases is not important as long as they appear before the verb and are accompanied by correct particles
- understanding the role of sentence-ending particles in conversation, such as ね for confirming or expecting a response and よ for emphasis
- using adverbs as formulaic expressions, for example, いつも、ときどき
- creating cohesion and flow by using conjunctions, for example, でも
- understanding how to indicate politeness using ご and お prefixes, for example, お名前；先生のごかぞく
