Teacher Students

Presentation (Students will give

their answers)
“Very nice! I am very pleased you were able to finish the task given to you. Now let’s discuss
your answers. Anybody who can tell me what he/she notices with the following sentences?”

Discussion (Student will

volunteer to read the
“Very good observation! Now, let me introduce you the four types of sentences. Would first sentence: “A
someone read this sentence for me?” declarative sentence
states a fact or
opinion and ends
with a period.)

“Thanks. Now, let’s take a look at the sentence that group 1 came up with. This one is a (Student answers:
declarative sentence. Could you tell me the reason why it’s classified as declarative?” Ma’am, because it
gives an idea and it
states a fact. It also
ends with a period)

“Very good. Well said. Now, can somebody give me an example of a declarative sentence?” (Students answer)

“Nice answers! Now let’s talk about the second type of sentence. Would someone read the (Student will
definition written on the board?” volunteer to read the
first sentence: “An
interrogative
sentence asks a
question and ends
with a question
mark.)

“Nice one and could you give me an example as well?” (The student will
give an example.)

“Very good! It’s easy to understand, right? Remember that an interrogative sentence ends “Yes, Ma’am!”
with a question mark. The sentence that group 2 came up with is an example of it! Did you
get it?”

I also want to remind you that you have to read an interrogative sentence well. You have to “Yes, Ma’am!”
sound like you’re really asking a question. Don’t just read it as if it’s a declarative sentence so
you won’t be misunderstood when someone listens to you.”
Teacher Students

“That is wonderful! So let’s proceed to the next type of sentence which is the imperative “An imperative
sentence. Read the definition, ____________.” sentence expresses a
request or gives a
command or
direction. It also and
ends with a period or
exclamation mark.”

“Thanks. Now, let’s check the sentence that group 3 came up with. It ends with a period but (A student
that doesn’t mean it’s a declarative sentence. Can somebody explain the class why?” volunteers and
answers: Ma’am, it’s
because the sentence
do not state a fact an
opinion. It states a
request.)

“You got it! Perfect! Now, I want you class to give me an example of an imperative sentence (students volunteer
that gives an order or direction.” to give their
answers)

“Oh! Well done! So, what about an imperative sentence that expresses a request?” (students volunteer
to give their
answers)

“Oh! I could see that you got a little confused with the imperative sentence but I am glad you (Student reads: “An
were able to get its function. Nice try for those who gave their answers! Now let’s discuss the exclamatory
last type of sentence. Exclamatory sentence. Read the definition, ___________.” sentence conveys
emotion and ends
with an exclamation
mark.”)

“Thanks. That’s good. Now, I know you’ll find it very easy to understand its function. Can (students volunteer
somebody give me an example?” to give their
answers)

“Well done, class! Do you have any questions? Any clarifications?” (students says
no)/(students asks
questions)
