Teacher’s Activities Student’s Activities

Preliminaries

Good morning Class! Good morning ma’am.

Let us pray first. Yes ma’am (Yes ma’am. (Dear Lord and father of
all. Thank you for today. Thank you for ways in
which you provide for us, for your protection and
love. Guide us by your eternal light as we discover
more about the world around us. We ask all this in
the name of Jesus. Amen!)

(Checking of Attendance) (Students will tell who’s absent for the day)

“So how’s your day? Is it good so far?” “It was great Ma’am!”

“That’s good to know. So, are you ready to discuss our “Yes Ma’am!”

new topic today?’

Okay that’s good, before we begin this with a group
activity I will discuss you the definition of types of “Yes Ma’am!”

sentences according to structure. Are you ready?

Motivation

“Before we proceed to your activity, I will give a real-

life example for you to understand very well the four
types of sentences according to structure: the
declarative, interrogative, imperative, and
exclamatory sentences.”

A declarative sentence states a fact or opinion and

ends with a period. For example: "Geraldine has
always been a tidy person."

An interrogative sentence asks a question and ends

with a question mark. For Example: "Why college life
so depressing?"

An imperative sentence expresses a request or gives a

command or direction. It also and ends with a period
or exclamation mark. For example: " Please think
carefully before you speak."

An exclamatory sentence conveys emotion and ends

with an exclamation mark. For example: "Oh my
gosh! I passed the test!"

So now any questions or clarifications?

(Students will give their answers)

Group Activity:

Now let’s begin, divide yourself into four groups; each

group will be given pieces of paper with words written
on them. I will give you five minutes to answer this
activity.
Show the kinds of expressions or emotion in the
following sentences:

1. It is a nice day.
2. Why are you so beautiful?
3. Please get out of my sight!
4. What an amazing performance!

“Very nice! I am very pleased you were able to finish

the task given to you. Now let’s discuss your answers.
Anybody who can tell me what he/she notices with
the following sentences?”

Presentation and Discussion

“Very good observation! Now, let me introduce to you

the four types of sentences according their structure.
(Students will give their answers)
Now, let’s take a look at the sentence that group 1
came up with. This one is a declarative sentence.
Could you tell me the reason why it’s classified as
declarative?”

“Very good. Well said. Now, can somebody give me an
example of a declarative sentence?”
Nice answers! Now let’s talk about the second type of
sentence. Would someone read the definition in the
screen?”
(Student will volunteer to read the first sentence:
“A declarative sentence states a fact or opinion and
ends with a period.)
(Student answers: Ma’am, because it gives an idea
and it states a fact. It also ends with a period)

“Nice one and could you give me an example as well?”

“Very good! It’s easy to understand, right? Remember (Students answer)

that an interrogative sentence ends with a question

the definition. “Yes, Ma’am!”

“Thanks. Now, let’s check the sentence that group 3 “Yes, Ma’am!”
came up with. It ends with a period but that doesn’t
mean it’s a declarative sentence. Can somebody “An imperative sentence expresses a request or

explain the class why?” gives a command or direction. It also and ends
with a period or exclamation mark.”

(A student volunteers and answers: Ma’am, it’s

“You got it! Perfect! Now, I want you class to give me because the sentence do not state a fact an

“Oh! Well done! Can you please give me that paper.

Now let’s discuss the last type of sentence.

Exclamatory sentence. Read the definition,
___________.” (students volunteer to give their answers)

“Thanks. That’s good. Now, I know you’ll find it very

easy to understand its function. Can somebody give

clarifications?”

“Nice. I am pleased with your participation. Now let’s

have a short activity.
(students says no)/(students asks questions)

Analysis

“Using the pictures shown on the screen, I want you

to form different types of sentences according to
function.”

Picture 1

(President of the Philippines) (student answers:

 1. Declarative: He won the presidency.
2. Interrogative: Is he the 17th president of the
Philippines?
3. Imperative: Please let us welcome our newly
elected president!

4. Exclamatory: OMG! I saw President Bongbong

Marcos!)

Picture 2

1. Declarative: They have team work and

determination to win.
2. Interrogative: Did they do their best?
3. Imperative: Let’s clap our hands for the winning
team! 
4. Exclamatory: Hurray! We won!)

Picture 3

2. Interrogative: Did she study well?
3. Imperative: Please strive for your dreams.

 Picture 4

(student answers: 

1. Declarative: They are asking for directions.

2. Interrogative: Are they lost?
3. Imperative: Would you please tell us how to get

4. Exclamatory: Help! We are lost!)

Generalization

“Now, class, let’s remember that sentences have four

functions. They can be declarative, interrogative,
imperative or exclamatory. Can you again tell me the
differences of the four?”
Yes ma’am.
Well said! So I guess all of you understand the four
functions. Declarative sentence states a fact or opinion and
ends with a period, An interrogative sentence asks
a question and ends with a question mark,
imperative sentence expresses a request or gives a
command or direction and the exclamatory
sentence conveys emotion and ends with an
exclamation mark.
EVALUATION: Directions: Read each sentence carefully and identify their
function. Write DS if it is declarative, INS if it is interrogative, IMS if it is imperative
and ES if it is Exclamatory.

1. My mother is cooking food for 2. What do you want to drink?
