by its Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou
Concepcion A. Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig
through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized
the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential
Learning Competencies (MELC) in developing this instructional resource.

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also
aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5

Character while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box

Asserting

PRETEST

Directions: Write the sentences in order to form an assertive statement.

1. are making/toys/We/for all the children/.

2. a new tv set/My father/us/bought/.
3. for my brother/made/The tailor/a suit/.
4. for all her friends/cooked/a delicious meal/He/.
5. bought/two years ago/We/this car/.

RECAP

We have learned the different kinds of sentences. There are four kinds
of sentences. The declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory
sentence.

6
 LESSON

We use different types of sentences in both written and oral speech.

Each type serves a specific designated purpose, and, though you may not
realize it, all sentence types are different from one another.

Today let us talk about Assertive Sentence.

An assertive sentence is also called a declarative sentence. In the

English language, this sentence gives information about facts, opinions, and
beliefs. This sentence is used most commonly in books, informative articles,
reports as well as in essays. This sentence ends with a full stop. As this
sentence asserts, states or declares is also called a Declarative sentence.

The following are examples of Assertive Sentences. Let’s have a

look.

Assertive sentences are divided into two categories.
1. Negative group of words
2. Affirmative group of words
Affirmative sentence

In an affirmative group of words, we use a positive sense.

They will listen to you.

 Negative sentence

A negative group of words is the opposite of an affirmative group of

words. This gives a negative sense.
