Compose texts, beginning to apply Korean spacing rules
Compare how loan words from English are written in Hangeul with how their original counterparts in English are written
Generate language for a range of purposes in spoken and written texts by using context-related vocabulary and applying elements of the Korean grammatical system, including:
- applying standard word order, subject + object + action, and understanding that word order can vary
