IV. PROCEDURES INTRODUCTION:
 The teacher is going to flash pictures of a baby and puppies. Then the teacher
will show pictures of a bone and a bottle of milk will be posted. The pictures
on the left side (baby and puppies) will be the consumer and the pictures on
right side (bone and bottle of milk) will be the consumer’s proper food.

The students are expected to identify the proper food for the puppies which
is the bone and baby which is the milk.

*Like the need of the baby and the puppies of proper food, language
particularly the subject and verb must agree with each other. This is for the
purpose of clear and better communication. Today we will be discussing
about subject-verb agreement, and we will be learning some of the rules to
make our verb agree with our subjects.

B. Development The subject and verb must agree in number: both must be singular, or both
must be plural.
Notice the difference between singular and plural forms in the following
examples:

a) The baby drinks the milk.

b) The babies drink the milk.
In order to find out if our subject and verb agree, there is a need to identify
the subject of our sentence. In Sample (a), the subject is singular therefore
our verb is singular. In sample (b), our subject is plural therefore our verb is
plural. Notice the difference in the formation of subject from singular to
plural compared to the formation of verb from singular to plural. When we
transform our subject into plural we usually add s or es but in verb, adding s
makes the verb singular.
v
General Rule of Subject-Verb Agreement
Singular subjects require singular verb and plural subjects requires plural
subjects.
Additional Rules
1. If subjects are joined by and, they are considered plural.

Example: The quarterback and the coach are having a conference.

2. If subjects are joined by or or nor, the verb should agree with the closer
subject.

Example: Either the baby or the puppies drink milk.

3. The relative pronouns (who, whom, which, and that) are either singular or
plural, depending on the words they refer to.

Example: The sales manager is a good researcher who spends a great

amount of time surfing the Web for information.
4. Indefinite pronouns (someone, somebody, each, either one, everyone, or
anyone) are considered singular and need singular verbs although they
convey plural meaning.
 Example: Anyone who wants to pursue higher education has to pass
entrance exams.
5. A few subjects look plural but are really singular or vice versa.

Example: The news of the discovery is spreading.

6. Expressions stating amount of time, money, weight, volume are plural in form
but take a singular verb as in:
Example: Two hundred dollars is a lot of money.

Things to remember in subject- verb agreement

a) The trick is to know whether the subject is singular or plural.
b) The next trick is to recognize whether the verb is singular or plural

NEW YORKER IN TONDO

By: Marcelino Agana, Jr.
 New Yorker in Tondo is a story of a girl named Kikay who went to New York to study
Hair Culture and Beauty Science. Upon going home after a year, she acquires all the New
Yorkish things like style, language, looks and manner. She even influenced her mother
with her way of living.

One day, Tony visited her for he heard that Kikay has already arrived. Tony was
Kikay’s sweetheart, and they got secretly engaged before Kikay left. While waiting for
Kikay to wake up, Totoy and Nena also came. Totoy and Nena were also Kikay’s and
Tony’s childhood friend.

Upon waking up, Kikay immediately entertained her friends. They are all shock of what
they’ve seen. Kikay was transformed into a different girl. She doesn’t want to be called as
Kikay instead she wants everybody to call her Francesca. She tells them everything she
experienced in New York, and she even keep on comparing New York from Tondo.

When Kikay and Tony had the chance to be alone, Tony was trying to open the issue
of them being engaged before she left. But Kikay didn’t want to listen; instead, she keeps
on ignoring Tony and even told him that being engaged to him is just a childish act. She
even degraded Tony by telling him, “Imagine a New Yorker marrying a Tondo boy!” Tony
gets irritated of what Kikay acted, so he confronts her, reprimands her and tell her that
New York didn’t bring her any good.

Kikay realizes everything that Tony said. She asks for forgiveness and promises him
that she will go back to her original self. She even said that Francesca is dead and who’s
standing in front of him is Kikay. Tony forgave her and they went back to each other’s
arms.
