B. Motivation

“Before we start with our discussion, let’s

first have an activity called “Think-Pair-
Share” activity. Are you all ready?”

“Yes teacher!”
“Find your partner first.”
“Okay, teacher!”
“Do you have partners now?”
“Yes teacher!”

“Here is the instruction, write two

sentences in giving commands, request or
order and another two sentences about
showing directions. Write it in a ½ sheet
of paper, crosswise. And after you’ve done
with your task, you need to submit it in
front and sit quietly. I’ll give you 10
minutes to do it.

Your time starts now.”

“Time is up!”

“Now I will pick one paper in here and the

pair that would be chosen would present
their answer in front and I would ask
them some questions.

Okay, we have Miss Anna and Mr.

Andrew.” (The chosen students will present their
answers)

“Why do you think the sentence that

you’ve wrote here tells someone what to
do or it shows direction?”
“We think that the sentence that we wrote
tells someone what to do because it has the
preposition like and, to, of, above and below
that indicates a position of directions.

And for the command or request we use a

word like please to show a request.”

“Okay, very good! For the second question,

why do you think the sentences are called
imperative?”
“We think that these sentences are
imperative because it gives commands or
requests from one person to another
person.”
 “Very good!”

C. Presentation

“Based on the activity we had earlier, what

do you think is our lesson for today?”

“Teacher, I think our lesson for today is

all about imperatives and prepositions.”

“You’re right!

So, our topic for today is all about using

imperative and prepositions when giving
instructions.”

“But before anything else, let’s first

define what is imperative and instruction.

Everyone, please read.”

Imperative are sentences that either give Imperative are sentences that either
a command, order, warning, advice or give a command, order, warning,
request. advice or request.
 Instruction is a statement or list of
statements that either describes the
process of doing an idea describes the
intended activity of a person giving
instruction.
Instruction is a statement or list of
statements that either describes the
process of doing an idea describes
the intended activity of a person
giving instruction.

“So, anyone who can explain this?”

“Me ma’am.”
“Yes, Anna.”

“When we say imperative, it is the

sentence that gives command and
order, warning, advice or request.
While the instruction is the
statement of the command from a
person of what he or she want to be
happened.”

“Yes, your right! When we say imperative,

it is the command while instruction it is a
statement or direction that describes the
activity that the instructors wants to
happen.”

It can be a command or a tool of It can be a command or a tool of

demonstration, for example please read demonstration.
everyone.
1. Put notebooks on my table. For example:
2. Come back on Friday. 1. Put notebooks on my table.
2. Come back on Friday.

“Do you think this shows imperative

instruction class?”
“Yes ma’am!”

“Why? Anyone who can explain?”

“Me ma’am, because it commands a person

to do such things like to put the notebook
on the table and come back on Friday.”
“Yes! Exactly! So, it is an instruction
because it instructs something to happen.
Like for example our first example, it can
be the teacher or classmate telling
someone to put the notebook on the table.
And the other one is letting someone to
come back on Friday. So, it instructs and
commands something to happen or to be
followed.”

“Did you understand class?”

“Yes ma’am!”

“So, now let’s move on to the preposition,

please read Amanda.”

Preposition is used to express Preposition is used to express

relationship between nouns or pronouns relationship between nouns or
and other words in a sentence. pronouns and other words in a
sentence.

“Thank you, Amanda.”

“So, when we say preposition it is a

group of words that is also used
before a noun, pronoun, or noun
phrase to show direction, time,
place, location, spatial relationship
or to introduce an object.”

“It has types of prepositions we

have time, location, time and
location, association, and
compound prepositions.”

“Basically, the following types are

used in composing a sentence in an
imperative manner. Proper usage
and misused of this following have
a great impact in the meaning of
the instruction. Did you
understand, class?”

“Yes ma’am!”
“So, we have here an example of
giving instruction in prepositions.”

Example: Example:
 1. Write a short essay about 1. Write a short essay
teenage pregnancy. about the teenage
pregnancy.
“So, class what do you think is
the type of preposition being
used in this sentence? Anyone?”
“Me ma’am!”

“Yes Allan?”
“The preposition that is being used in that
imperative sentence instruction is
preposition of association because it uses
the preposition about.”

“Very good! Please give him a two

clap everyone, in one two three
go!”
(everyone clapped)

“We have here our second

example.”
2.Be quiet in the class.
2. Be quiet in the class.

“What do you think is the

type of preposition being
used in this sentence? “Me ma’am!”
Anyone?”

“Yes Andrew.”
“The type of preposition that is being used
in giving the instruction is preposition of
location.”
“Very good! Because it uses
preposition in that modify a
location.”

It is important to
understand the proper use
of preposition in giving
clear instructions.

A slight misuse of
preposition can change the
meaning of a given
instruction.

“Do you agree class?”

“Yes ma’am!”

“Why?”

“Because every type of preposition should

modify a proper usage of its specific
purpose.”

“Okay very good! Because

just like for example, your
asking someone to go in the
classroom and you tell him
or her in this way “Go
because of classroom” so it
is not proper right?”

“Yes ma’am.”
“You should use the
preposition for location
such as “in or to” we should
say “Go to your classroom”.
Are we clear?”
 “Yes ma’am.”
“So, now that you already
understand the usage.

Let’s get deeper and move

on to some examples of
commonly misused Some examples of
prepositions.” commonly misused
prepositions.
In to for
On of by In to for
Into onto from On of by
At between Into onto from
Since among At between
Since among

Prepositions (in, on at)

“We can use in, on and at when referring to both Prepositions (in, on at)
locations and time. And here are the tips to
remember when using prepositions.” location time
at Exact Clock time
location time address; small
at Exact Clock time places like
address; small restaurants;
places like point of

something on the surface days of the
on A street, road, Exact dates or week
on the surface days of the
week

“So, we should be aware enough in using proper

prepositions.”

For example. For example.

Put your toys on the box. Put your toys on the box.
Put your toys in the box. Put your toys in the box.

“Can anyone tell me what is the difference

between the two?”
“Me ma’am!”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“So, the first example means that the toys

should be put in the top of the box while the
“Very good! so, the first example means that the second example must be put inside the box.”
toys should be put in the top of the because it
uses preposition on that means it is in the
surface, while the second example must be put
inside the box because it uses preposition in that
means it must be enclosed surface

Do you understand class?”

“Yes ma’am.”

“So, now let’s move on to prepositions in, into,

on and onto.”

“Please read everyone.”

Into and onto differ from in and on as they Preposition in, into, on, onto
involve movement and result. Into and onto differ from in and on as they
involve movement and result.

Example: I walked into the room. Example: I walked into the room.
I climbed onto the roof. I climbed onto the roof.

“When we say into it indicates movement

towards middle or inside of something. While the
onto, it indicates movement towards particular
place and usually in a surface.”

“Just like in the example “I walk into the room.” so

it is inside of the surface or inside the room so,
it uses into, while the second example is “I
climbed onto the roof.” which is it is in the surface
so, it uses onto.”

“Did you understand class?”

 “Yes, ma’am!”
“Now, let’s move on to the preposition since and
for. Please read (call a name)”

Since and for

We use since when talking about the starting
point of an action while we use for when talking
about the duration of an action.

Example:
Wait for me here for 10 minutes.
He has lived here since 2001.

“Kindly explain these examples.” (call a name)

“So, the first example uses for because it

talks about the duration of the action, like
waiting in 10 minutes. While the second
example is using the preposition since
because it talks about the starting point,
which is living in a place since the year
2001.”
“Very good! “

Now let’s move on to the preposition to, from,
of and by. Please read everyone.
To- used to indicate movement towards
something or someone.
From- used to indicate the origin of an action,
person or object.
Of- used to indicate possession, topic, idea,
reference, connection or amount or number.
By- indicates ownership of an idea; means or way something; movement past something; and
to get something; located beside something;
movement past something; and not later than a
specific time.
Preposition to, from, of and by
To- used to indicate movement towards
something or someone.
From- used to indicate the origin of an
action, person or object.
Of- used to indicate possession, topic, idea,
reference, connection or amount or number.
By- indicates ownership of an idea; means
or way to get something; located beside
not later than a specific time.
“So, preposition to, from, of and by is indicating
different roles in usage so we should always be
aware and guided of this following usage of
prepositions.”

“To understand more, we have here an example.

Please read (call a name)”

To and form
Example:
Send this letter from the university to Mr. Andre’s
email.

“So, the preposition from indicates the? (call a

name)” “Origin of the letter ma’am.”

“Yes, very good! And the preposition to indicates

the person to whom the letters must be? (call a
name)”
“Given.”

Of and by
Example:
Read the book by Nick Joaquin and write an essay
about his idea of the American legacy in the
Philippines.

“So, the preposition by indicates the author or

owner of the idea in the book. While the
preposition of indicates the topic of the author’s
idea. Did you understand class?”
“Yes ma’am!”
“So now let’s proceed to the last preposition that
we had the between and among. Kindly read
everyone.”

Between and among Between and among

“So, when we say between, we must use it in
referring to two people, places or things. While
the among it is referring to three or more people,
places or things.”
Example:
1. He stood between his mother and father.
2. The old temple is hidden among the trees.
Between is referring to two people, places
or things. While among is referring to three
or more people, places or things.
Example:
1. He stood between his mother and
father.
 2. The old temple is hidden among the
trees.

“Who can explain this example class?”

“Me ma’am.”

“Okay, go ahead.”
“The first example uses between because it
is referring to two people and the second
example is it uses among because it is
referring to three or more trees that the old
temple is hidden.”

“Very good! So, have you understood class? Do

you have any questions?” “Yes ma’am.”

“Okay, so this time please prepare for an activity.”

E. Application

group you into two groups, this would be
group one and this would be group two. I
have here two topics for your role-play
and I need one representative from each

Now let’s proceed with group 1.”
(The group 1 are presenting their role play)

“Thank you so much group 1! Let’s give

them a round of applause!”

“Everyone, please settle down now.

Congratulations everyone! “
 “Here’s my feedback about your
presentations.”

“I’ll start from group 1, so, very good I’ve

given you 5 points for your creativity,
content, and organization and 4 points for
your coordination because I saw that, not
all of the members participated in the
group. So, a total of 19 points that still
equivalent to 100%.”

“And for group 2, I’ve given you 5 points in

content and organization. While 3 points
for coordination and creativity. It’s
because I’ve seen that only few members
have participated in the presentation and
I’m looking more for creativity in your
presentation. Overall a total of 16 points
that equivalent to 90%.”

“Congratulations everyone!”

F. Generalization

“Again everyone, what is imperative or

instruction?” (call a name)
“When we say imperative, it is the
command while instruction it is a statement
or direction that describes the activity that
the instructor wants to happen.”

“Very well said!”

“Why is it important to use a proper

preposition when giving an instruction?”
“It is important to use proper prepositions
when instructing because misused of these
prepositions can change the meaning of the
instructions. It can lead to
misunderstanding or the follower of the
instructions may not get the command and
not be able to follow correctly.”

“Very good!”
 “What are the types of prepositions?”
“The types of preposition are location, time,
association, time or location, compound
preposition.”

“Very good!”

“Do you have questions?”

“None ma’am.”

“Very good!”
