I. CONCEPT NOTES
Arranging words alphabetically is a technique in organizing letters of the alphabet from
A-Z. Generally, if the words begin with different letters, arrange the first letters of the word
alphabetically.

Rule: If the words begin with different letters, then arrange the words such that the first
letters of the words are in the order of the alphabet. If this skill is mastered, one can freely
explore words and beyond.
EXAMPLE:
The words dance, fruit, cake, apple, egg, basket should be arranged alphabetically
into:

apple basket cake dance egg fruit

Use the be-verbs (am, is, are, was were) correctly in sentences.

I. CONCEPT NOTES
A verb is a part of speech often used to describe an action or a state of being. It can be
an action verb, a linking verb, or a helping verb. While there are several types of verbs, this
activity will focus on the “be” verbs or the verbs “to be.”
“Be” verbs or verbs “to be” such as am, is, are, was, were, and will be function
as linking verb if it links the subject (a person, place, or thing) to the word that describes
it. For example, in the sentence “I am glad you are here.”, the “be” verb “am” links the
subject “I” to the word “glad,” which describes the subject.
“Be” verbs can also function as helping verbs. As the name indicates, helping
verbs assist in making verbs complete. For example, in the sentence “She is going to
school.”, the “be” verb “is” helps to complete the verb “going.”
Below are some examples of “be” verbs in different tenses and how they are used in the
sentence.
PRESENT TENSE PAST TENSE FUTURE TENSE
am, is, are was, were will be

HOW TO FORM VERBS IN THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE?


▪ Use the main verb (action verb)
▪ Add –s or –es to most verbs to make it singular.
Don’t add –s or –es to the verbs to make it plural in form.
▪ As a rule use the singular form of the verb to describe one subject (person, place,

COMPETENCY
Use the present form of verbs that agree with the subject.

I. CONCEPT NOTES
In a sentence, a verb agrees with its subject (person, place, or thing described in the
sentence). This subject-verb agreement is fundamental to make sentences easier to
understand.
BASIC RULE:
1. A singular subject takes a singular verb by adding –s at the end of most verbs.
If the verb ends in s, sh, ch, x, z, or o, add -es.
For verbs that end in y, with a consonant letters b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s,
t, v, w, x, y before y, we change y to i and add –es. For verbs that end in y, with
a vowel letters a, e, i, o, u before y, add only –s at the end of the verb.
Add –s at the end of most verbs.
walk + s = walks sing + s = sings sleep + s = sleeps
Verbs that end in s, ch, sh, x, z, or o, add -es.
miss + es = kisses push + es = pushes mix + es = mixes
watch + es = watches buzz + es = buzzes do + es = does
Verbs that end in y, with a consonant letter before y, change y to i and add –es.
try  tri + es = tries cry  cri + es = cries fly  fli + es = flies
For verbs that end in y with a vowel letter before y, add –s
buy + s = buys pay + s = pays play + s = plays
2. Plural subjects make use of plural verbs by simply using the main verb without –s or
–es at the end. Subjects like I and you, although singular in form, takes a plural verb.
Sentences with singular (only one) Sentences with plural (more than one)
subject and singular verb subject and plural verb
Betty walks to school. Betty and Mary walk to school.
She always misses the school bus. They always miss the school bus.
She cries every time she misses her ride. They cry every time they miss their ride.

I. CONCEPT NOTES

Remember that verbs come in three tenses: past, present, and future. The future
tense of the verb indicates that the action will take place or will happen in the future.

To form verbs in the future tense, add the helping verb “will” before the verb. For
example, “I will travel to Manila tomorrow.”

Another way to form verbs in the future tense is by using a “be verb” (am, is, are) +
“going to” before a verb. For example, “I am going to meet my friends in Manila tomorrow.”

Here are some examples of sentences in the future tense.

will + verb be verb + going to + verb

LEARNING
COMPETENCY
Use the past and past perfect tenses correctly in varied contexts.

I. CONCEPT NOTES

Verbs in the past perfect tense show actions that happened before another action
occurred in the past. We use this tense to describe two actions that were both completed in
the past with one action happening before the other. E.g. “The bus had left before we arrived
at the station.” The sentence describes two actions that both happened in the past – the bus
“had left” (happened first) when they “arrived” (happened next) at the station. Regardless
of which verb was mentioned first in the sentence, the verb with “had” is the action that took
place first. E.g. “When she reached home, her mother had gone to the hospital.” In this
sentence, her mother “had gone” (happened first) to the hospital before she “reached”
(happened next) home.
We also use the past perfect tense to show actions that happened before a specific time.
For example: "Mr. Wilson had established his company before 2020.” The action had
established specifically happened in 2020.
The past perfect tense is typically indicated by the auxiliary verb “had.” To form verbs in
this tense, add had to the past participle of the main verb. To form the past participle of the
verb, add –ed to regular verbs. For example, the past participle of the verb cook is cooked;
call  called; decide  decided. The past participle of some irregular verbs remain the same
as that of the main verb like cut  cut; cost  cost; hit  hit, while other irregular verbs form
an entirely different word and usually end in –n, –en, –t, or –d. For example, the past participle
of the verb take is taken; swell  swollen; sleep  slept; say  said. Below are some examples
of past perfect tense in sentences. In each example, the past perfect tense is underlined.
Sheila had gone to the store when it rained.
I had finished my homework before I watched T.V.
The children had fallen asleep before 7 o’clock.
We had met when we were in high school.

Use punctuations to guide reading for fluency.

I. CONCEPT NOTES
Fluency is the ability to read text accurately, effortlessly and with expression. Therefore,
punctuation is of great aide to let the reader and the listener understand the writer’s intended
message. Punctuation marks alter our interpretation on the passage. It tells the reader where
to pause, breathe, raise his voice, and change his voice. Following correct usage of
punctuation marks will make your writing easier to read and more appealing.

Here are the most commonly used punctuation marks in writing simple sentences.

Period ( . ) tells the reader to stop.


EXAMPLE: Alternative Learning System has programs for both Junior and
Senior High School.

Comma ( , ) tells the reader to pause. (If the pause is for emphasis, a dash should be
used instead of a comma.)
EXAMPLE: Their teacher, Mr. Dagalangit, lives in the Northern part of
Bukidnon.

Question mark ( ? ) tells the reader that the writer is asking a question.
EXAMPLE: Are you going take the test this September?

Exclamation point ( ! ) tells the reader to stop in astonishment or surprise.

I. CONCEPT NOTES
In summarizing important information from a text read or listened to, you must take
note and remember the key points or main ideas and the necessary details for you to
create a summary.
II. EXERCISES
Discuss the reading selection below with your partner and write a 1 paragraph (5
sentences) summary about the important information being discussed in the text.
Juvenile delinquency is characterized by unruly conduct of youth age 10 to 17,
that is beyond parental control and thus requires legal action (Merriam-Webster
Dictionary). Drugs, sexual assault, robbery, physical injury and other illegal activities and
behaviour that most of the teens commit. In the Philippines, the number of minors
involved in delinquency had increased from 10, 388 in 2017 to 11, 228 in 2018. Many of
our dear teens are engaged in such dreadful and terrifying crimes and activities that you
can’t imagine they can do because of their young age. The increase of numbers of the
juvenile delinquent is quite alarming and worrisome. 15 year old felons and below are
spared in trial and jail however the age of the children who partake in such unlawful
activities are getting younger and younger, some of this offender’s even age as five years
old. Due to this, Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006 increased the minimum age of
criminal responsibility that allows the child to undertake criminal proceeding in court. It
also requires a minor delinquent to undergo therapy. From study and research, most of
the minors who are part of these illicit deeds are ignored and abandoned by their own
parents and family or they seek attention from them. Parents must always check on their
child and guide them towards the right path, away from the dangerous way that can
destroy their life and future.
In relation to this, Senate President Vicente Sotto III urges the government to
support, and to fund the places for rehabilitations for the juvenile delinquents since many
of the shelters are neglected and abandoned. The House of Representatives approved
on final reading the House Bill 8855 which lowers the criminal charge from 15 to just 12
years old on January 28, 2019.
