Suggested image: Draw a nipa hut on the fields where there

are chickens, pigs and goat and other animals around it.
Illustrate a father and child walking towards the field. A
black dog is running ahead of them.

WORKING TIME

When father goes to do his work

I like to go along
We laugh and talk as we go,
Sometimes we sing a song

Blackie, my dog, runs away ahead,

Then back he jumps and yips:
He knows just where to find the goats
On the fields or on the hills.
We find the pigs and chickens, too,

4|P age
 Find eggs, bring in the wood;
As we pass the kitchen door
Our supper smells so good.

When work is done,

We go inside to rest.
Each second on the field is fun.
But working time is the best.

 Do you know that verbs and subjects go together? We call it
Subject-Verb Agreement. We follow certain rules for Subject-Verb
Agreement.

➢ Verbs are words which express action, existence or condition.

➢ We use the s form of the verb with singular subjects.

Examples:
• Father goes to work everyday.
• The dog runs.
• A flower blooms each day.

➢ We use the base form of the verb with plural subjects.

Examples:
• We go inside to rest.
• Trees grow and give us lots of fruits.

➢ Always remember that if actions are done regularly or

habitually, the verbs used are in the simple present tense.
The following are examples of time expressions used in
sentences that show habitual action.

• I wake up at 6:00 o’clock in the morning.

• My brother drinks milk at night.
• We visit Baguio during holidays.
• Once a month, I go on a trip.
• Myla and Mike see each other twice a year.
• Ivan plays basketball every other day.

Alright! Now, I am sure that you are ready to answer the

following activities.

 Acknowledgment

The Schools Division of Zambales would like to express its heartfelt gratitude
to the following, who in one way or the other, have contributed to the successful
preparation, development, quality assurance, printing, and distribution of the
Quarter 2 Guided Learning Activity Kits (GLAKs) in all learning areas across grade
levels as a response to providing the learners with developmentally-appropriate,
contextualized and simplified learning resources with most essential learning
competencies (MELCs)-based activities anchored on the principles of guided learning
and explicit instruction:

First, the Learning Resources (LR) Development Team composed of the writers
and graphic artists for devoting much of their time and exhausting their best efforts
to produce these indispensable learning kits used for the implementation of learning
delivery modalities.

Second, the content editors, language reviewers, and layout evaluators

making up the Division Quality Assurance Team (DQAT) for having carefully
evaluated all GLAKs to ensure quality and compliance to DepEd standards;

Third, the Provincial Government of Zambales, for unceasingly extending its

financial assistance to augment the funds for the printing of these learning resources
for use by learners unparents home;

Fourth, the teacher-advisers and subject teachers, in close coordination with

the school heads, for their weekly distribution and retrieval of the GLAKs and for
their frequent monitoring of the learners’ progress through various means; and

Finally, the parents and other home learning facilitators for giving the learners
the needed guidance and support for them to possibly accomplish the tasks and for
gradually helping them become independent learners.

To deliver learning continuity in this challenging circumstance would not be

possible without your collective effort and strong commitment to serving our
Zambaleño learners.

Again, our sincerest thanks!

The Management Team
