The students will share their understanding regarding the past lesson.

 Motivation
The teacher will ask the students to look on the illustration inspired by the game
application “4 pics 1 word.” The students will guess the correct word being
asked in the pictures/illustrations. Afterwards, the students will guess the new
topic or lesson to be discussed by the teacher.

C. Lesson Proper
 Using power point presentation, the teacher and students will proceed to the
class discussion and interaction about Subject and Verb agreement.

Basic/General Rule: Singular subjects require singular verbs; plural subjects

require plural verbs.

Rule 1: In an inverted sentence order or sentence in which the subject follows

verb, take care in locating the simple subject and make sure that the verb agrees
with the subject.

Rule 2: the pronoun your, whether singular or plural, requires a plural verb.

Rule 3: A little is always singular even if a noun within the little plural.
Rule 4: A compound subject that is joined by and or both… and is plural unless
its parts belong to unit or refer to the same person or thing.

The students will give their own insights/understanding during the class
discussion and interaction on the following questions:
 1. What is the difference between “a number of people” and “the number of
people” in a sentence?
2. What form of the verb will be used if there is a singular subject, but is being
followed by a plural prepositional phrase?

D. Application
 Boardwork
The teacher will group the students into 4 groups and the teacher will write a
word in the board. The teacher will ask the representative of each group to write
a sentences out of the word that the teacher wrote in the board the team that will
write a correct sentence by applying their learnings in the lesson such as the
“Subject-Verb Agreement”.
