 LESSON

Discussion/Modelling 1

Today, we are going to discuss words that will help us in giving or

sharing information. These are verbs. What is a Verb? Verb is a word that
expresses an action or state of being. It describes what the subject is doing.
Without a verb in a sentence full thought cannot be properly expressed.
Examples:
1. The student turns the pages of the Module.
2. The teacher gives instruction to the students.
3. The woman prepares her own breakfast.
4. We went to the chapel yesterday.
5. The students will attend the webinar In English.

These tenses are used to indicate actions done in the past, present and future.
They are also used in giving information.

In English, there are three main tenses: the present, the past, and
the future. It tells us in what period of time an action happened.

1. Present tense or simple present tense- it describes an action that is

currently happening or an action that exist regularly.
Example: Doctors and nurses examine the patients that are in the room.

2. Past tense or simple past tense – it talks about an action that happened
in the past, before the present time of speaking.
Example: The policemen told the driver to stop.

3. Future tense – it talks about an action that haven’t yet happened before
the time of speaking but is about to happen in the future.
Example: The teachers will start their classes on October 5,2020.

below and answer the following questions.
1. What verb is used in the first sentence?
2. What about in the second sentence? You are right!
3. How about the verb in the last sentence?
4. What word tells us that Bella is attending?

 Bella: Hi, Bea! I heard that your club will sponsor a poster making contest
next week.
Bea: Yes, we posted the announcement on the Bulletin board located at
the Main Building. Are you interested to join?
Bella: I am interested, I also joined last year. What do I need to prepare?
Bea: You just need to fill-up first the registration form and submit it to
the Club Secretary. The rest of the requirements are written in the
announcement.
Bella: Alright, I will check the announcement later so I could prepare for
the contest. And also, I will inform my other classmates about that.
Bea: Sure, invite everyone to join. Hope to see you on the contest day.
Bella: I will be there. Bye.

Cathedral is the oldest Marian parish in Asia. Like other churches in
