Beach Story
If we’re going to stay at the beach for the day, we’ll bring swimsuits and towels, a
pack of cards, a collection of books, or for the more lively folks among us, a wagon-
load of pails and shovels or beach toys like Frisbees and beach balls. If we’ve driven
to the beach, we’ll be careful to take care of our bunch of car keys as they are so easily
lost in the sand. We’ll keep an eye on the little folks, as they’re just apt to wander off to
the city’s flower beds and pick a big bouquet of flowers for mommy, much to the
dismay of the gardeners chasing after them. If we get bored, the fishers among us will
start telling fish stories, most of which will be a pack of lies.
Collective nouns should agree with its corresponding verb, the singular and
the plural verb.
When does a collective noun take the present singular form of verb? When
does it take a plural verb form?
Let’s practice!
Encircle the collective noun in each sentence and underline the verb.
A. Encircle the correct verb that will agree with the collective nouns.
B. Pick out the collective noun in each sentence. Encircle your answer.
C. Use each collective noun in two meaningful sentences, one using the
collective noun as a singular subject and the other using the collective noun
as a plural subject. Observe subject- verb agreement. Write the sentences on
your paper.
What I can do
Write the correct verb choice that will agree with the collective nouns in the
sentences below. Underline your answer.
1. On the first day of school, the class (describe, describes) their vacation.
2. The jury (agree, agrees) that the state prosecutors did not provide enough
evidence.
3. The swarm of reports (engulf, engulfs) the famous actor all at once.
4. The audience (cheer, cheers) the winner of the million dollars.
5. The group who (get , gets) the highest score wins the activity.

What’s in?
You have learned about the kinds of adjectives from your previous module.
Read the paragraph below and underline the adjectives present. Also, answer the
guide questions after the paragraph.
A little duckling was very sad because he thought he was the ugliest amongst
all his brothers and sisters. They would not play with him and teased the poor ugly
duckling. One day, he saw his reflection in the water and cried, “Nobody likes me. I
am so ugly.” He decided to leave home and went far away into the woods.
Deep in the forest, he saw a cottage in which there lived an old woman, her
hen, and her cat. The duckling stayed with them for some time but he was unhappy
there and soon left. When winter set in the poor duckling almost froze to death. A
peasant took him home to his wife and children. The poor duckling was terrified of
the children and escaped. The ugly duckling spent the winter in a marshy pond.
Finally, spring arrived. One day, the duckling saw a beautiful swan swimming
in the pond and fell in love with her. But then he remembered how everyone made
fun of him and he bent his head down in shame. When he saw his own reflection in
the water he was astonished. He was not an ugly duckling anymore, but a handsome
young swan! Now, he knew why he had looked so different from his brothers and
sisters. “They were ducklings but I was a baby swan!” he said to himself.

Grandmother is getting ready for the birthday party of her beautiful little
granddaughter, Anna. She will buy Anna a new red dress and will bake one big
round pink cake. Anna’s grandmother will also cook four delightful dishes for the
families, classmates, and friends.
The common order is shown in the chart below. Study the examples.
DETERMINER a a
Quantity eight Several
Quality/ handsome beautiful
Opinion
Size jumbo
Age old new
Temperature Cold
ADJECTIVES
Shape Round
Colour yellow
Origin/ Proper Italian French concrete January
Adjective

Read the sample sentences below and study the order of adjectives based on
the chart above.
1. My grandfather owns an old Italian sports car.
2. As a pilot, he had flown eight jumbo new French commercial planes
during his time.
3. Several round yellow concrete park tables were built by local
government.
4. I always love a beautiful cold January Sunday.
2. When three or more adjectives of the same group are used, place a comma
after the first and second adjective (and third, as the case may be), and then
the conjunction and before the last adjective.
Example:
Have you seen a blue, red and white towel at the pool side?
Filipinos are hardworking, hospitable, and creative people.
3. Opinion adjectives maybe general or specific.
General: good, nice, cute, sad, happy, great
Specific: tasty, delicious, appetizing, palatable instead of good for food, taken
aback, dismayed, amazed, shocked, startled, astounded instead of surprise
4. When two nouns go together to show that one thing is a part of something
else, the possessive form is not used.
Correct: the village chapel; the airplane wings; her car door; Baguio City
residents
Incorrect: the village’s chapel; the airplane’s wings; her car’s door; Baguio
City’s residents
When you use more than one adjective, you have to place them in the right
order according to the type or function of each: quantity, opinion, size, age,
temperature, shape, color, origin or material, and purpose
Before adjectives + noun, a determiner (a, an, the, my, your, our, her, his,
their, its, this, those) is normally placed.
