Stage Overview

The person at Stage 6 uses all parts of speech, and has correct word order in sentences. He or she learns to use complex sentences with the words if, because, and then as conjunctions. The use of reflexive pronouns (myself) emerges, as well as indefinite pronouns (anybody, everything), and the meaning of contractions. He or she can ask negative questions with pronoun-verb phrases. Language continues to grow by expanding vocabulary.
