Elaborations

• • Elaboration using a range of familiar verbs in the present and past, including both positive and negative, for example, 行きます、見ません、食べました、聞きませんでした
• • Elaboration using い and な adjectives in the present tense, for example, おいしい、たのしい、しずかな、 and negative forms, for example, たかくない
• • Elaboration comprehending the role of different scripts (hiragana, katakana, kanji) to represent meaning depending on context (katakana – loan words and sound words; hiragana supporting kanji through furigana and okurigana) and applying multiple kana and kanji stroke order rules
• • Elaboration understanding and using a range of particles to perform different functions, including ～から～まで (from, as far as, until, distances) sentence-ending particles such as か、よ and ね
• • Elaboration using げんこうようし (typed or hand written), appropriately to compose and respond to texts, for example, considering the size of small characters, the position in the square, starting new paragraphs, numbers, writing a title and name, and placing of punctuation まる(。) and てん(、)
• • Elaboration increasing precision of expression by incorporating specific counter classifiers, for example, ～時、～分、～つ、～まい、～本, superlatives 一ばん好きです, and adverbs as formulaic expressions 早く、おそく
