Generate language for a range of purposes in simple spoken and written texts by recognising and using context‑related vocabulary and elements of the Punjabi grammatical system, including:
- identifying different types of nouns in simple texts
- understanding that pronouns are used to emphasise the subject in a sentence; for example, ਆਪੋ-ਆਪਣਾ
- understanding that adjectives are used to represent numbers or order of things; for example, ਵੀਹਵਾਂ, ਦੁਗਣਾ, ਚੌਥਾਈ, ਕੁਝ, ਦਸ ਦੇ ਦਸ
- using words that show a number or frequency of a verb; for example, ਘੜੀ-ਮੁੜੀ, ਕਦੀ-ਕਦਾਈਂ
- recognising that postpositions change form in relation to gender and number; for example, ਗੀਤਾ ਦਾ ਬਸਤਾ, ਯੁਵਰਾਜ ਦੀ ਕਿਤਾਬ, ਸਲਮਾਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ
- using simple conjunctions, like ਜਾਂ, ਜਾਂ ਫਿਰ to write compound sentences and ਤਾਂ ਜੋ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ to write complex sentences
- experimenting with interjections in a text; for example, ਹਲਾ! ਬੱਚ ਕੇ!
- developing an understanding of using simple and continuous present, past and future tense to write sentences
- identifying gender and number in a text
- further understanding that the sequence of grammatical items in a Punjabi sentence is subject+postposition+object+verb and auxiliary verb
- extending understanding that the gender of masculine words ending with mukta can be changed by adding kanna to the word; for example, ਅਧਿਆਪਕ-ਅਧਿਆਪਕਾ, ਗਾਇਕ-ਗਾਇਕਾ
- developing an understanding of changing singular words ending with kanna to plurals by replacing kanna with lanv (ੇ); for example, ਤੋਤਾ, ਤੋਤੇ
- understanding a letter/s can be added before or after a root word to create a new word; for example, ਉਪਕਾਰ-ਪਰਉਪਕਾਰ, ਰੰਗ-ਰੰਗਤ
- understanding and creating different types of sentences with correct punctuation
- identifying homonyms in texts
- identifying antonyms in texts
- furthering understanding of how a word/s can have the same meaning as another word; for example, ਇਨਸਾਨ – ਆਦਮੀ, ਮਨੁੱਖ, ਪੁਰਖ, ਬੰਦਾ, ਮਾਨਵ
- demonstrating that many words can be substituted by one word in relation to a number; for example, a group of 12 is a dozen (ਦਰਜਨ); a period of 10 years is a decade (ਦਹਾਕਾ)
- becoming aware that Punjabi new year starts in March – Chet (ਚੇਤ) is the first month – and exploring the names of all the months in the desi calendar
- using ਸਵਾ and ਪੌਣੇ when telling the time; for example, ਸਵਾ ਪੰਜ, ਪੌਣੇ ਅੱਠ
- developing number knowledge for 61 to 80
