TEACHER’S ACTIVITY
A. Preparatory Activity
• Prayer
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY
( the student’s will pray)
Class, let us all stand and put ourselves in the
presence of the Lord as we pray. Ruth can you lead
our prayer?
• Greetings
Good afternoon, sir!
Good afternoon class?
• Checking of Attendance
Is there any absent for today’s class?
Nobody is absent sir.
Very good! Perfect attendance
B. Review the Past Lesson
We have already know what are the basic parts of
a sentence. What are those again class?
Very good, The subject is the one being talked
about while the predicate tells the action of the
subject or action given to a subject.
The subject may be a noun or pronoun;
Sir, there are two basic parts of the sentence. The
subject and predicate.
What is noun again?
A noun is a word that is the name of person,
animal, place or thing. Sir!
Very good, what about the pronoun?
Pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun.
Very good!
The predicate may be an adjective but most of the
time it is a verb.
What is verb class?
A verb is a word that expresses an action. Sir.
Correct!
Ok, the reason why I was talking about the subject
and the verb is that our topic is all about the
Subject-Verb Agreement and the rules that govern
it.
There are seven rules which govern Subject-Verb
Agreement. I will tell you each of the rules and give
an example. Afterwards, you will give your own
example.
C. Motivation
Before anything else, I would like you to tell some
examples of verbs. ( call a student)
Very good! Now, we will discuss all those verbs as
we move on with the lesson.
D. Presentation
Remember class that verbs, unlike nouns, have the
S-form of the word for the singular form and the
base form for its plural form. Please take a look of
these examples.
Example:
S-form (singular)
Sings, dances, writes, eats
Base form (plural)
Sing, dance, write, eat
(The student will give an example of verbs)
Now, can you give me some examples of these
form of verbs?
So now, we will move on with the lesson regarding
the rules on the Subject-Verb Agreement.
(The student will give their own example)
1. Singular subjects take singular verbs.
Plural subjects take plural verbs.
Example:
Envy is ignorance; imitation is suicide. (Singular)
We recognize our own rejected thoughts.
(Plural)
Will you give me an example. (Call a student)
Jerome attends the flag ceremony. (Singular)
Percy and Annabeth are one of the character of
The Lightning Thief. (Plural)
Very good!
2. The verb agrees only with its subject words
between subject and verb do not affect
the number of the subject or we call it
intervening phrase.
Ok! The Intervening words or phrases come
between a subject and a verb.
For example:
My friends, together with their parents, are
going to the zoo.
Here, the intervening words are “together with
their parents”. Without the intervening words, the
sentence would read “My friends are going to the
zoo tomorrow”. The plural subject friends take a
plural verb are
3. The words some, all, most, any are singular
when they refer to quantity or a collection
taken as one. On the other hand, they are
plural when they refer to a number or a
collection taken as several items.
Example:
Most of the work was begun by original
thinkers. (Quantity)
Some of the ideas exposed by Emerson were
misunderstood. (Number)
Sir? What is intervening phrase?
Now, can you give me your own example. (Call a
student)
All of the dishes was done by Logan. (Quantity)
Any of the student are allowed to participate.
(Number)
Ok very good!
4. A compound subject joined by and takes a
plural verb. When they referred to as one
unit, it takes singular verb.
Example;
Conformity and consistency are two obstacle
of self-reliance. (Separate units)
The writer and the teacher of great renown
was a speaker at Harvard. (One unit)
Give me an example. (Call a student)
The actress and the model are going to have a
movie together. (Separate units)
Peanut butter and jelly is her favorite. (As one
unit)
Very good! Now class, before we continue our
discussion with the three remaining rules, lets us
first have some activity.
E. Application
Choose and underline the correct form of verb.
1. Joy, along with the other students
(think , thinks) of pursuing a
science career.
Joy, along with the other students thinks of
pursuing a science career.
2. There (is , are) a good chance of
thunderstorms in Metro Manila
today.
There is good chance of thunderstorms in Metro
Manila today.
3. Hannah is one of the office
workers who still (attend , attends)
classes.
Hannah is one of the office workers who still
attends classes.
Ok very good, all of your answer is correct.
F. Generalization
Singular subjects takes singular verb;
Plural subjects takes plural verb.
Some, all, most, and any are singular when
they refer to a quantity they are plural
when they refer to a number.
A compound subject joined by and takes a
plural verb.
When the compound subject refers to one
unit, it takes singular verb.
