 Correct! The movie tells a story about five
Siblings and how do they deal about family matters.

Before we proceed, choose a partner for our activity.

(Show sample of anticipated guide.)

This is called an anticipated guide. Let us check if

You know something about the movie, “Four Sisters and
A Wedding”.

I will give each pair of students a copy of the

(The students will answer the anticipated

The video clip.)

(Students will answer the anticipated guide.)

Values Integration:
Students, what happened when Teodora
Told the truth to her family? (Students will answer.)

Did the mother get angry? No, sir.

The mother didn’t get mad because she love Teodora.

Example of a family resolving a problem.

Teodora told what happened to her 

As an OFW. She was afraid to reveal it because
She thought everyone will see her as a failure.

Did the family see her that way? No, sir.

That’s right! What Teodora did made her

Free from what she’s afraid to tell.

Remember, it is important to seek your

Family’s help in solving problems and improving
Yourselves.

D. Presentation of the Lesson:

Now, let us examine a few sentences from the 

Video clip.

1. “ Teddy, say the truth. It’s about time.”

2. “Please tell me, Roberta!”

3. “Roberta, let Teddy choose what bag she wants.”

Sir, these are imperative sentences.

express? An imperative sentence

expresses a command 
or request. 

Exactly. Let us examine the first sentence.

“Teddy, say the truth. It’s about time.”

 As you’ve mentioned earlier, this is an 
Imperative sentence. It expresses a command or
A request. 

What word in this sentence expressed the 

Command or request? Sir, the word “say”

Very good! What part of speech does

”say” belong to? Sir, “say” is a verb.

Nice! Let us examine the second sentence:

“Please tell me, Roberta.”

What word was used in the sentence to

Express a command or request? “Tell” was used.

What part of speech does “tell” belong to? “Tell” is a verb. 

Now, let us study the third sentence:

“Roberta, let Teddy choose what bag she wants.”

What word in the sentence expressed a command

Or request? “Let” was used.

What part of speech does “let” belong to? “Let” is a verb.

Correct!

After studying the sentences, what part of

Speech expressed a command or request? Sir, the verbs expressed
Command or request.

That is right!

E. Discussion

In every imperative sentences, there is a verb

That expresses a command or request.

They are called imperatives.

We use imperatives in sentences in which you

Tell someone what to do.
 It is also important to use the correct preposition
For every imperative sentence.

Let us examine this picture.

What imperative sentence can we make using this 

Picture? “Pick the trash.”
(The teacher will write the sentence.)

What is the imperative used in the sentence? “Pick” is the imperative.

Why did we use the word “pick” as an imperative

Instead of other words? We use “pick” because we have
get the trash in the picture.

That is correct! Though the sentence is correct, it

Lacks something.

Let us put down the picture.

(The teacher will put down the picture.)

Using the sentence given, do we still know

Where to pick the trash? No, sir.

Why is that? We don’t know where to pick

The trash because we don’t
 Know its location.

Correct! In every command or request, we should

Be specific.

We have to use prepositions that tells a location

To do the command correctly.

(Put back the picture.)

Now, how can we improve the sentence using a 

Preposition? “Pick up the trash beside the
tree.”

Excellent!

Let us examine another picture.

Construct an imperative sentence out

Of this picture if you want somebody to buy
Milk. Please buy milk beside our
House.

Well done!

What is the imperative in the sentence? “Buy” is the imperative.

Correct! Did we use the correct preposition

For the sentence? Yes, sir.

Why? Beside is used to show that 

Something is in the left or right 
 Side of another object.

If you can choose another preposition to use,

What would it be? We can also use “by”, “near” or
“next to”.

Why can we use them? As we can see in the picture,

The house is just beside or near
the house. So we can use “by”,
“near” or “next to”.

That is true.

F. Application

Let us have a group activity. Group

Yourselves into four.

Two members from each group will do a short skit

And use an imperative and a preposition.

You will show a scene about an experience

From your family that made you learn a lesson.

I will give you a scenario to help you make a

Skit.

The remaining members from the group will

Have to identify the imperatives and prepositions used 
In the sentences.

I will also give everyone a sad and happy face card.

As soon as the group explains their answers, raise the happy
Face if they are correct. Raise the sad face if not.
