  • • Elaboration differentiating interrogative forms with tag questions and using them according to context, for example, Em thích ăn cơm chiên không? is a yes/no question to discover whether the other person likes fried rice and Em thích ăn cơm chiên phải không? is a tag question to confirm that the other person likes fried rice
  • • Elaboration recognising differences in Vietnamese and English responses to negative tag questions to avoid misinterpretation, for example, in Vietnamese the response to the question Em chưa làm bài tập về nhà phải không? “You haven’t done your homework, have you?” would be Dạ phải. Em chưa làm? “Yes, I haven’t”, while in English it would be “No, I haven’t”
  • • Elaboration recognising the purpose and effect of exclamatory sentences as opposed to statements, for example, the statement Hôm nay Lan đi học sớm simply states that Lan came to school early today, while the exclamatory sentence Hôm nay Lan đi học sớm thế/vậy! may suggest surprise or irony
