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

• using different types of nouns to create simple texts
• understanding that pronouns can function as a conjunction to join two sentences; for example, ਜਿਹੜਾ, ਉਹ
• identifying different types of adjectives in simple texts
• observing different forms of verbs in relation to tenses
• using adverbs in relation to time, place, cause and quantity; for example, ਮੀਤਾ ਬਾਰ-ਬਾਰ ਆਪਣੀ ਨਾਨੀ ਨੂੰ ਮਿਲਣ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਰਹਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ।
• developing an understanding that inflected postpositions change form in relation to gender and number
• using conjunctions to create text composed of compound and complex sentences
• using interjections in a text
• building on knowledge that the gender of masculine words ending with bihari can be changed by removing bihari and adding ਨ, ਣ to the word; for example, ਖਿਡਾਰੀ-ਖਿਡਾਰਨ; ਪੰਜਾਬੀ-ਪੰਜਾਬਣ
• building an understanding that a singular feminine word ending with kanna can be changed to a plural by adding ਵਾ and a bindi (ਵਾਂ) to the word; for example, ਹਵਾ-ਹਵਾਵਾਂ
• understanding the use of past, present and future perfect tenses to create text; for example, ਨੀਤੀ ਪੜ੍ਹ ਚੁੱਕੀ ਹੈ। ਰਮੇਸ਼ ਪੜ੍ਹ ਚੁੱਕਾ ਸੀ। ਅਫ਼ਸਾਨਾ ਪੜ੍ਹ ਚੁੱਕੀ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ।
• experimenting by adding a letter/s before or after or a symbol to a root word to create prefixes and suffixes
• recognising homonyms in texts
• using antonyms and synonyms in texts
• understanding that one word can be substituted for many words
• naming the months in the desi calendar in order from first to last and exploring the seasons in relation to the calendar
• developing number knowledge for 81 to 100, one thousand (ਹਜ਼ਾਰ), one hundred thousand (ਲੱਖ) and one million (ਕਰੋੜ) and reading numbers like 2024 as ਦੋ ਹਜ਼ਾਰ ਚੌਵੀ
