You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills covered in this
module because you have:
• Been working in the same industry for some time.
• Already completed training in this area.
If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are competent in a particular
skill or skills, talk to him/her about having them formally recognized so you
won’t have to do the same training again. If you have qualifications or
Certificates of Competency from previous trainings, show them to your trainer.

Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet, the student/ trainee
should be able to;
1. Differentiate what is a sentence.
2. Determine the parts of a sentence.
3. Identify what are a subject and a predicate.
4. Determine what a sentence fragment is.
5. Identify what a run-on sentence is.
6. Familiarize what the subject-verb agreements are.
7. Write complete, grammatically correct sentences.
THE SENTENCE
A sentence is a group of words containing a verb and its subject and expressing a
completed thought.
A sentence always begins with a capital letter and ends with a mark of punctuation.
In order to express a complete thought, every sentence must have two parts
– the subject and the predicate.
A. The Subject
The subject of a sentence is that part about which something is said. In the
following sentences, the subjects are in heavy type.
1. The eager quarterback shouted the signals.
2. Ricky reminded me of the game tonight.
3. An old brick building hung over the river’s edge
To find the subject of a sentence, ask yourself Who…? or What…? Suppose
you want to find the subject of this sentence: The huge plane rolled slowly out
19
ASIAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION COLLEGE
Bliss, Sagkahan, Tacloban City
of the hangar onto the runway. Ask yourself, What rolled? The answer is, The
huge plane rolled. The plane is the subject of the sentence.
B. The Predicate
The predicate of a sentence is that part which says something about the subject.
In the following sentences, the predicates are in heavy type.
1. The tulips bloomed early this year.
2. Mr. McKay took a later train than usual.
3. Summer vacation is always too short.
SENTENCE FRAGMENTS
When you read a sentence fragment, you are left wondering whom or
what the sentence is about or what happened in the sentence.

running across the field I saw you running across the field
RUN-ON SENTENCES
A run-on sentence is one which actually contains two (or more) complete sentences
without the proper punctuation to create separate sentences. There are two common
forms of the run-on: (1) the "comma splice" in which a comma is inserted between
two comp lete sentences where a period should actually be used; (2) a lack of
punctuation where a semi-colon or period is needed.
- Lack of Punctuation
Incorrect Examples:
1. There is a problem with the television however no one is available to fix
it.
2. Nobody knows what really happened the policeman said there was a
fight.

• The verb agrees with its subject in number. If the subject is singular,
the verb is singular. If the subject is plural, the verb is plural.
Singular Plural

• The number of a subject is not changed by a prepositional phrase
following the subject. The subject is never in a prepositional phrase.
Be certain to make the verb agree with the subject itself, not with the
word in the phrase.
Wrong The lamp near the windows are broken. [Since lamp
is the subject, the verb must agree with it, not with
the windows, which is part of the prepositional
phrase.
Right The lamp near the windows is broken.
• The following common pronouns are singular and take a singular verb:
anybody, anyone, each, either, everybody, neither, nobody, no one,
somebody, someone.
Examples:
1. Each of the pens costs a dollar
2. Everyone in the two families likes to play ping-pong.

2. Many of the sailboats are out today.
3. Several of the players rush to the mound.
Examples:
1. Was the contest exciting?
2. Were the contests exciting?
3. Here is the book.
4. Here are the books.
• Compound subject joined by and are plural and take a plural verb.
Examples:
1. Fishing and lumbering are carried on in the Northwest.
2. Corn and beans grow well in one garden.
Exemption: If the items in a compound subject actually refer to
only one person or are thought of as one thing, the subject and
the verb are singular.
Ex.
1. The president and manager of the factory is on vacation.
2. Strawberries and cream costs thirty pesos.
Singular subjects joined by or or nor are singular and take a singular verb.
Examples:
1. Monday or Tuesday is all right for the picnic.

Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet, the student/ trainee
should be able to;
1. Explain the importance of communication.
2. Identify the various elements of communication
3. Determine the modes of communication.
4. Differentiate the various methods/skills of communication.
5. Identify the three main modes of communication.
6. Determine the barriers to communication.
7. Identify the benefits of effective communication and the consequences in
failing to communicate effectively.
COMMUNICATION
Is defined as the art of sending and receiving information. It is a process of
conveying messages, of transmitting meaning between individuals. It is an
exchange; for it to be effective, information must flow back and forth from
sender to the receiver. The former must have some knowledge of the latter’s
reaction. This process by which a system regulates itself by feeding to itself
parts of its outputs is called feedback.
Basic Elements of Communication:
The process of communication is composed of three elements:
1. the source (sender, speaker, transmitter, or instructor),
2. the symbols used in composing and transmitting the message (words or
signs), and;
3. the receiver (listener, reader, or student).
The three elements are dynamically interrelated since each element is
dependent on the others for effective communication to take place.
26
ASIAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION COLLEGE
Bliss, Sagkahan, Tacloban City
1. Verbal communication
2. Non-verbal communication
3. Written communication
Verbal Communication
The speaker should be clear, concise, and courteous and use a style of
language that is appropriate to the situation and the audience. The information
should be accurate to the best of the speaker’s knowledge. The tone of voice
and body language used when speaking are often as important as the words
themselves.
The listener should give the speaker their full attention and be sure that
they clearly understand the message being conveyed. Again, body language is
very important. Good listening skills are necessary when receiving instruction
or being taught new procedures.
27
ASIAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION COLLEGE
Bliss, Sagkahan, Tacloban City
Questions should be asked by the listener to clarify the meaning and by the
speaker to ensure that the information has been fully understood. There are
three types of questions:
Non-verbal communication
28

• Signals, for example hand signals used when operating machinery; traffic
lights.
• Signs, for example safety signs; workplace warnings; men’s, ladies and
disabled toilets; first aid posts.
• Diagrams, for example property maps; diagrams in machinery manuals.
• Symbols, for example poison schedules; map legends; machinery gears and
levers.

Instructions. These are probably the most familiar of all the types of
reports. Students often write backup procedures for the jobs they do at their
work. Others write short user manuals for an appliance, equipment, or
program. If there is too much to write about, they write about some smaller
segment—for example, instead of instructions on using all of WordPerfect, just
a guide on writing macros in WordPerfect.

surveys. You may have written a "lab report," as they are commonly called, for
one of your previous courses. This is a perfectly good possibility for the
technical report as well. In this type of report, you not only present your data
and draw conclusions about it, but also explain your methodology, describe
the equipment and facilities you used, and give some background on the
problem. You can modify this type by summarizing other primary research
reports.
Business plans. If you are ambitious to run your own business, you can
write a business plan, which is a plan or proposal to start a new business or
to expand an existing one. It is aimed primarily at potential investors.
Therefore, it describes the proposed business, explores the marketplace and
the competition, projects revenues, and describes the operation and output of
the proposed business.

When you have taken sufficient notes to cover all parts of an outline, you
transcribe the information from the notecards into a rough draft, filling in
details, adding transitions, and providing your own acquired understanding of
the subject as you write. Naturally, you may discover gaps in your notes and
have to go back and take more notes.

COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
Most workplaces have procedures and protocols in place for the use of each
type of technology. Workers should familiarize themselves with the system
features and control functions and operate each device according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. If not sure of the operating procedure for a
particular communication device, a worker should ask for assistance.

Designated channels and call signs should be used with two-way radios.
Conversations should be limited to relaying necessary information. Batteries
should be recharged on a regular basis and the radios kept in good working
order. They may be a vital means of communication in an emergency.

Minutes are detailed notes taken during a meeting of everything that has been
said and agreed upon. In some meetings a vote may be taken on important
issues, either by a show of hands or a secret ballot. The minutes should record
the outcomes of voting and any decisions made.
Informal meetings, discussions and briefings are less rigid in their structure.
However, it is still important to provide opportunities for discussion and take
notes of decisions.
Whatever the style of the meeting there is a protocol or code of behavior that all

effects of such a high school preparation, yet there are currently few good
models of curricula that serve both agendas. Another approach would be to
develop a new form of vocational and technical education, with status equal to
the academic track, that would simultaneously prepare students for the world
of work and for further study in post-secondary institutions. U.S. educators
who are concerned about vocational education debate both the desirability and
feasibility of such a "separate but equal" track.
Arithmetic
Arithmetic or arithmetics (from the Greek word ἀριθμός = number) is the oldest
and most elementary branch of mathematics, used by almost everyone, for tasks
ranging from simple day-to-day counting to advanced science and business
calculations. It involves the study of quantity, especially as the result of combining
numbers.
Arithmetic operations
Addition (+)
1+3=4
Adding more than two numbers can be viewed as repeated addition; this
procedure is known as summation and includes ways to add infinitely many
numbers in an infinite series; repeated addition of the number one is the most
basic form of counting.

Rounding
1. Firstly look at the decimal place after the one you want to round to (in our
example this would be the third decimal place)
2. If the number in the next decimal place is a 6,7,8 or 9, then you will be
rounding up, so you add 1 to the number in the place you are interested in
and you have rounded. In our example the number in the third place is a 6 so
we round up. We change the 5 in the second place to a 6 and our rounded
number is 1.26
3. If the number in the place after the one we are interested in is a 0,1,2,3 or
4 we round down, i.e. we just write the number out as it is to the required
number of places.
4. If the number in the place after the one we are interested in is a 5, then we
need to look at what follows it. Cover the number from the beginning to the
place you are interested in, for example, suppose we are rounding 2.47568 to
three decimal places we look at just the 568 and we ask is that closer to 500
or 600. Since it’s closer to 600 we get a rounded number of 2.476
Percentages
Percentages are fractions with a denominator of 100. Often there will not be
100 things or 100 people out of which to express a fraction or a percentage.
When this is the case you will need to find an equivalent fraction out of 100
by multiplying by 100% which is the same as multiplying by 1.

Once the source of the information has been found, the correct information
needs to be collected. This will depend on the purpose of the information, the
people who will use the information and the time available or necessary to
obtain it.
For example, if a worker is asked to ring around the local produce stores to
compare fertilizer prices, a half-hour conversation catching up on the local
gossip would not be appropriate. Conversely, if the employee responsible for
machinery maintenance was sent to look at a second-hand tractor, there
would be an expectation that sufficient time would be spent to thoroughly
assess the condition of the machine.
