Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Preparation
Good morning everyone. How is your day?
It’s good, Ma’am. How about
yours?
Well, it’s good too.
First of all, allow me to introduce myself. My name is
___________________. And I am your teacher in this subject.
Yes, Ma’am!
B. Motivation
Okay class, I would like to ask you something,
What do you call a predicate in a sentence?
Ma’am! I think it’s a phrase.
Alright! Thank you, Garwas.
Yes! It is a phrase, but what part of speech is the first word
of a predicate?
I have no idea, ma’am.
Alright! We will know that later on.
 C. Presentation
Okay! Listen up. Our topic for today is
about Verb. In this topic we will know the definition
of the verb and its kind, and when to use it in a sentence.
Are you with me class?
Yes. Ma’am! We are
listening.
D. Discussion
So, does anyone from the class can define what
is a verb?
Ma’am, I think a verb is use
as a predicate in the
sentence.
Yes! You are correct. Listen carefully, a verb is
an action word. As simply as that, or a verb is a
word that expresses action or a state of being
and is necessary to make a statement.
What is a verb again class?
It is an action word, ma’am.
Okay, very good.
Just like any other parts of speech, verb also has
its kind. Do you copy class?
Yes, ma’am.
And the first kind of a verb is an action verb.
Remember class, from the word itself, action.
It tells what someone or something does.
Did you understand class?
 Yes, ma’am.
Some action verbs express physical action. Others
express mental action.
Just like for example class,
Physical action: Ted waved the signal flag.
Mental action: He hoped for success.
Did you understand class?
Yes, ma’am.
Another examples of action are: kick, play, walk,
write, love, like, and many others.
Now can you give me an example class?
I, ma’am.
Okay, Jason. What is it?
Eat, ma’am.
Alright! Very good. Any other hand?
Talk ma’am.
Yes! Correct, and class, there lots example of
action verb. Did you understand? Can you now
give an example by your own?
Yes, ma’am. I do.
Very good. Shaina. How about the rest?
Yes… Ma’am.
Alright then, let us proceed to another topic
as part of an action verb, the transitive and
intransitive verb.
Now, what is a transitive verb? Do you have
any idea class?
 None. Ma’am.
Okay, listen up! A transitive verb is followed by a
direct object – that is, a word or words that answer
the question what? or whom?
Can you follow class?
Yes, ma’am.
Okay, let me give you an example,
The batter swung the bat confidently.
The action verb swung is followed by the
Noun bat, which answers the question what.
Another example,
Alvarez tells the teachers to attend their meeting.
The action verb tells is followed by the
Noun teachers, which answers the question whom.
Is that clear class?
Yes, ma’am.
Did you understand.
Yes, ma’am, I understand.
Okay, how about intransitive verb class?
Does anyone know what intransitive verb is?
None, ma’am.
Listen up! Intransitive verb, also an action word
But it is not followed by a direct object.
Like for example,
The batter swing wildly.
The verb is followed by a word that tells how, not a
direct object.
Did you get it class?
Yes, ma’am.
Okay, who can give me an example of a
Transitive verb?
I, ma’am.
Yes, Angel.
The teacher wrote a lesson in the
blackboard.
Alright, excellent, Angel. How about an
Intransitive verb?
Ma’am, let me try.
Go, Mark.
The teacher taught the lesson
clearly.
Very good! Mark.
Any questions class?
None, Ma’am.
So, let us now proceed to the next kind of
a verb, which is a linking verb.
Okay, what is a linking verb class?
Ma’am, I think (is) is an example of a
linking verb.
Yes! You are correct, Baby.
Listen up class! A linking verb links, or joins,
the subject in the sentence (often a noun or a
pronoun) with a noun or a pronoun, or an
adjective that identifies or describe the subject.
A linking verb does not show action.
Can you follow class?
Yes, ma’am.
Alright! These are the most common linking
verbs that often use in the sentence.
Be – am, is, are, was, and were.
Did you get it class?
Yes, ma’am.
Let me give you an example of how to use
a linking verb class.
In this sentence,
The person behind the mask was you.
The linking verb (was) links the subject
(person) and the pronoun (you).
Another example is,
The players are ready.
Who can give me another example?
I, ma’am.
Go, Maria.
They were playing chess.
Okay, what is the linking verb in the sentence
given by Maria class?
Were…. Ma’am.
Excellent! Class. Understood what linking verb is?
Yes, ma’am.
These are other verbs that can be linking verbs:
Look, remain, seem, become, stay, grow, appear,
Sound, taste, smell, fell and turn.
Can you follow class?
Yes, ma’am.
Okay, do you still have question class?
None, ma’am.
Let us now proceed to verb phrases.
Listen up class, a verb in a sentence may consist
of more than one word. The words that accompany
the main verb is called auxiliary, or helping verbs.
A verb phrase consists of a main verb and
all its auxiliary, or helping verbs.
Can you follow class? Or did you understand?
Yes, ma’am.
Auxiliary Verbs
Forms of BE : am, is, are, was, were, being, been
Forms of HAVE : has, had, have, having
Other auxiliaries : can, could, may, might, must,
Do, does, did, shell, should
Will, would
Class, the most common auxiliary verbs are forms of be
and have. They help the main verb express time by
forming the various tenses.
Did you understand class?
Yes, ma’am.
Let me give you an example class,
We will harvest the vegetables in the garden later.
The auxiliary helps the main verb harvest to form a
Present perfect tense.
Do you copy class?
Yes, ma’am.
Another example class,
We were weeding the flower beds when the
rain started.
The auxiliary verb (were) helps the main verb
weeding to form a past perfect tense.
Is that clear class?
Yes, ma’am.
Okay, let us now proceed to subject-verb agreement.
Do you know what it is class.
Yes, Ma’am.
What is the fundamental rule then?
A verb must agree with its subject in
number.
Very good! Number that refers to the form of a
word that indicates whether it is singular or
plural. A singular subject indicates one that requires
a singular verb. Plural subjects indicate more than
one and require plural verbs, add -s or -es form of
singular.
Did you understand clasrs?
Yes, Ma’am.
Remember class that verbes, unlike nouns have the
s-form of the word for the singular form and the base
form for its plural form. Please take a look at the example.
Example: S-form(singular): Sings, dances, writes, eats

Base Form(plural) Sing, dance, write, eat

Give some more examples.

S-form(singular) Notices, smells, looks,

repeats

Base Form(plural) Notice, smell, look,

repeat

Very good. Now we will move on with the lesson regarding

the rules on the Subject – Verb Agreement.

1. Singular subjects take singular verbs.

Plural subjects take plural verbs.

Example: Envy is ignorance; imitation is suicide. (singular)

We recognize our own rejected thoughts. (plural)

Now, give me your own example

Miley Cyrus attends the Academy

Awards. (singular)

Percy and Annabeth are one of the

characters of The Lightning Thief.
(plural)

The verb agrees only with its subject.

Words between subject and verb do not affect the number of

the subject. (intervening phrase)

Example: The luster of the firmament of bards and sages dazzles people.

Notice that although the intervening words are in plural form, both the

subject and the verb are in singular form

Now, give your own example.

One of the obstacles of self-reliance is

conformity.

The words some, all, most, any are singular when they

refer to quantity or a collection taken as one. On the other

hand, they are plural when they refer to a number or a

collection taken as several items.

Example: Most of the work was begun by original thinkers. (quantity)

Some of the ideas exposed by Emerson were misunderstood. (number)

Now, give your own example.

All of the dish was done by my Logan.

Any of the students are allowed to

participate. (number)

4. A compound subject joined by and takes a plural verb.

When they referred to as one unit, it takes singular verb.

Example: Conformity and consistency are two obstacles

of self-reliance. (separate units)

The writer and the lecturer of great renown was a speaker at Harvard. (one unit)

Now, give your own example.

The actress and the model are going to

have a movie together. (separate units)

Peanut butter and jelly is her favorite.

(as one unit)

Very good class! Before we continue our discussion with the

three remaining rules, let us first have some fun.

E. Application: Choose the correct form of the verb.

1. Jon, along with the other students, (think, thinks) of pursuing a science career.

Jon, along with the other students

thinks of pursuing a science career.

2. There (is, are) a good chance of thunderstorms in Metro Manila today.

There is a good chance of

thunderstorms in metro Manila.

3. Hannah is one of the office workers who still (attend, attends) classes

Hannah is one of the office workers

who still attends classes.

Singular subjects take singular verb; plural subjects take plural verb.

The verb agrees only to its subject. Intervening words do not

affect the number of the subject. Some, all, most, and any are

singular when they refer to a quantity. They are plural when

they refer to a number. A compound subject joined by and

takes plural verb. When the compound subject refers

to one unit, it takes singular verb.

V. Activity
Instructions: write each verb. Identify it by writing transitive or intrasitive. If it is transitive,
write the word or words that answer the questions what? or whom?
1. Thomas Morris, an Australian athlethe, once skipped rope from Melbourne to Adelaide,
