and the predicate.
What is the subject and predicate in the

B. MOTIVATION
Before anything else, I would like you to
stand up and let's play a game called
The Hot Potato Game
The student will pass around the pen and
when the timer goes off or the music stops,
the person holding it has to do something.

have to make a grammatically correct
sentence.)

1. Emily and Greg (comes, come ) to my

house every Friday for lunch.
2. There (is, are ) time to watch the movie.
3. My friends who are in the band (wants,
want ) me to play a musical instrument

C. LESSON PROPER
The subject must agree with the verb.
What is a Subject-verb agreement?
Yes, James
Very good!

Subject-verb agreement means that a subject

and its verb must be both singular or plural.

Anyone in the class, who wants to give Run, sing, stand, wash, walk,
examples of verbs?

Singular examples: it eats, wishes, has run,

has loved, is dreaming

Plural examples: they eat, wish, have run,

have loved, are dreaming.
Basic Rules of subject-verb agreement.

Rule 1. If the subject is singular, add s, es,

or ies to the verb.
If the subject is plural, the verb
must be in base form.

E.g. Jason always eats breakfast before

leaving the house.

Class, it's your turn to give your own

examples. She writes every day.
Okay, Justine..
Very good. The dogs chase the cat.
Yes, James.
Very good.

Rule 2. If there are two or more subjects

joined by and, the verb must be plural or
base form.

E.g. Jack and Jeff are twins. Dave and Bree like to go to the movies.
Yes, Leni.
Very good.

Rule 3. For subjects enjoined by or,

either/or, and neither/nor, the verb must
agree with the subject nearest to it.
E.g. The kid or his parents occupy the Neither the teachers nor the principal likes the new
parking space on weekends. budget cuts
Yes, Pakyaw.
Very good

Rule 4. Do not be misled by the phrase

that comes between the subject and the
verb. The verb must always agree with the
subject.
E.g. The collection of books grows bigger
each month.
The team captain, as well as his players, is anxious.
Yes, Isko.
Very good.
Rule 5. Intervening words like, together
with, as well as, in addition to, and
including, do not affect the number of the
subject.
 E.g. The high school students together with His father, as well as his uncle, is retiring at the
their teacher need to visit the museum. end of this year.
Yes, Bongbong.
Very good
Rule 6. If the sentence is in inverted order
and is preceded by here and there, check
the object that comes after the verb to
know if the verb must be singular or
plural.
There is a book on the table.
E.g Here are gifts from your friends.
Yes, Kiko
Very good.

D. APPLICATION
Group Activity
Instruction: Each group will write one
example for each rule assigned to them then
they will explain it and discuss the rule used
