Use intonation, volume and emphasis to clarify meaning and produce speech with clear pronunciation

Recognise that Punjabi sounds are different in various parts of East Punjab and West Punjab and understand that each dialect is influenced by the local language of the region; for example, ਬਾਜਾ, ਵਾਜਾ; ਜਦੋਂ, ਜਿਸ ਦਿਨ; ਚੱਕ, ਚੁੱਕ

Further understand the slight differences in the formation of letters; for example, ਟ, ਫ, ਫ਼; ਦ, ਢ; ਵ, ਞ

Consolidate knowledge of the features of the Punjabi sound system (consonants, lagaan, lagakhar and dutt) along with relevant grammar to write Punjabi texts

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

• becoming aware that nouns are used as subjects, predicates, appositives, indirect objects and in relation to verbs or postpositions; for example, ਹਰਮਨ ਸਕੂਲ/ਵਿਦਿਆਲੇ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।; ਉਹ ਸਾਰੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਦੋਸਤ ਹਨ।; ਭਾਰਤ ਦਾ ਰਾਜ,ਪੰਜਾਬ,ਖੇਤੀ-ਬਾੜੀ, ਮੇਲਿਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਤਿਉਹਾਰਾਂ ਲਈ ਮਸ਼ਹੂਰ ਹੈ।; ਮਾਂ ਨੇ ਬੱਚੇ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਪੜ੍ਹੀ।; ਬੱਚੇ ਰੁੱਖ ਥੱਲੇ ਖੇਡ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ।
• furthering understanding of using pronouns in accordance with number to create text
• using adjectives to provide specific information about an object in relation to its appearance, quality, quantity etc. and to compare two or more nouns
• recognising that adjectives can alter the meaning/context of a sentence, convey information or transform dull prose
• creating texts in Punjabi using different forms of verbs
• transforming active voice to passive voice to create variation in the text; for example, ਮਾਲੀ ਫੁੱਲ ਤੋੜ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਫੁੱਲ ਮਾਲੀ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਤੋੜਿਆ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।
• using postpositions and conjunctions to create cohesive texts
• becoming aware that some masculine words have entirely different feminine forms; for example, ਫੁੱਫੜ-ਭੂਆ, ਬਲਦ-ਗਾਂ
• understanding that some words have a plural form only; for example, ਪੇਕੇ,ਸਹੁਰੇ, ਦਾਦਕੇ, ਨਾਨਕੇ, ਲੋਕ
• understanding the importance of case markers in forming a meaningful sentence
• understanding the requirement of language features for sixteen tenses in relation to time. The sixteen tenses under present, past and future are in indefinite, continuous, perfect, perfect continuous and conditional forms except present tense, which has an imperative form as well; for example, ਹਮਜ਼ਾ ਖਾਣਾ ਖਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।; ਹਮਜ਼ਾ ਖਾਣਾ ਖਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ।; ਹਮਜ਼ਾ ਖਾਣਾ ਖਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।; ਜੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਆਪਣਾ ਕੰਮ ਕਰ ਲਿਆ ਤਾਂ ਖੇਡਣ ਜਾ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ।; ਜੇ ਤੂੰ ਮਿਹਨਤ ਨਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਤਾਂ ਤੂੰ ਪਾਸ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋਣਾ ਸੀ।; ਜੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜਲਦੀ ਉਠੋਗੇ ਤਾਂ ਹੀ ਸਮੇਂ ਤੇ ਉਥੇ ਪਹੁੰਚੋਗੇ।
• understanding that prefixes and suffixes can change the meaning or grammatical form of a root word, such as changing a noun to an adjective or a verb and vice versa; for example, ਖੇਡਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੁਝ ਬੱਚੇ ਸਫ਼ਲ ਅਤੇ ਕੁਝ ਅਸਫ਼ਲ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ।; ਬੱਚਾ ਕ੍ਰਿਕਟ ਖੇਡਣਾ ਸਿੱਖ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।; ਬੱਚੇ ਨੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਚੰਗਾ ਖੇਡ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ।
• using idioms and proverbs to create figurative texts
• using cohesive devices and time sequence connectors to form paragraphs

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

Analyse how different types of text incorporate cultural and contextual elements

Analyse and explain how and why language is used differently in a range of texts, considering features such as dialects and register

Explain how Punjabi language and culture have evolved and how they continue to change over time, and understand that language use has the power to influence social and cultural relationships and practices

Understand that Punjabi language and culture are interrelated and that they shape and are shaped by each other in a given moment and over time
