TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
A. Preparatory Activity

B. Review of the Past Lesson We have already finished discussing about

The two basic parts of the sentence are the subject Reference of Pronouns.
Before we move and predicate. on to the next topic, let us have a recall of
what are the basic parts of a sentence. The subject may be a noun or
pronoun; the predicate may be an adjective but most of the time it is a verb.
How are the subject and predicate related The subject is the one being
talked about while the to each other? predicate tells the action of the subject
or action given to the subject. Correct. The reason why I asked you about the
subject and the verb is that our topic for today 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.

B. Motivation
Before anything else, I would like you to (The students will write their
answers on a half write ten verbs. pad paper for two minutes) 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 at the example. Example: S-form(singular): Sings, dances,
writes, eats
III. 3. Base Form(plural)Sing, dance, write, eatGive some more examples. S-
form(singular) Notices, smells, looks, repeats Base Form(plural) Notice,
smell, look, repeatVery good. Now we will move on with thelesson
regarding the rules on the Subject –Verb Agreement.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) Now, give me your own example. Miley Cyrus attends
the Academy Awards. (singular) Percy and Annabeth are one of the
characters of The Lightning Thief. (plural)2. The verb agrees only with its
subject. Words between subject and verb do not affect the number of the
subject. (intervening phrase) Example: The luster of the firmament of
bards and sages dazzles people. Notice that although the intervening
words are in plural form, both the
IV. 4. subject and the verb are in singular form. Now, give your own example.
One of the obstacles of self-reliance is conformity.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) Now, give your own example. All of the
dish was done by my Logan. Any of the students are allowed to
participate. (number)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 obstacles of self-reliance. (separate
units) The writer and the lecturer of great renown was a speaker at
Harvard. (one unit) Now, give your own example. The actress and the
model are going to have a
V. 5. movie together. (separate units) Peanut butter and jelly is her favorite.
(as one unit) Very good class! Before we continue our discussion with the
three remaining rules, let us first have some fun.E. Application: Choose
the correct form of the verb. 1. Jon, along with the other students, Jon,
along with the other students thinks of (think, thinks) of pursuing a
science pursuing a science career. career. 2. There (is, are) a good
chance of There is a good chance of thunderstorms in metro
thunderstorms in Metro Manila today. Manila. 3. Hannah is one of the
office workers Hannah is one of the office workers who still who still
(attend, attends) classes. attends classes.F. Generalization Singular
subjects take singular verb; plural subjects take plural verb. The verb
agrees only to its subject. Intervening words do not affect the number of
the subject. 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 plural verb. When the compound subject
refers to one unit, it takes singular verb.
