Elaborations
- • Elaboration using metalanguage in English or French to identify the grammatical differences between the languages such as word order, verb moods, tenses–present perfect/passé composé, possessive pronouns/articles possessifs, agreements of adjectives and participles/accord des adjectifs et du participe passé, auxiliary verbs, direct/indirect object pronouns
- • Elaboration discussing grammatical structures using metalanguage, for example, using relative clauses, relative pronouns and demonstrative adjectives in order to be able to choose between qui/que/dont
- • Elaboration recognising how grammatical choices shade meaning and establish register such as the use of tu or vous to distinguish relationship; use of nous to suggest inclusivity or shared identity; use of on which may suggest distance
- • Elaboration recognising specific French language structures such as the impersonal verb falloir
- • Elaboration comparing spoken and written texts such as apologies or invitations to identify how differences in grammar and text features determine the nature of formal and informal interactions, for example, Je t’invite! Nous serions très heureux de vous accueillir chez nous.
