RULE # 02
If two subjects are joined by the

conjunction “and”, they usually
require a plural verb. However, if
the subjects separated by “and”
refer to the same person or thing,
singular verb should be used.
EXAMPLES
Teachers and students play significant
roles in the learning process of TLE
concepts and skills.
The TLE teacher and classroom facilitator

implements the service learning method
which increases motivation and retention
of academic skills.

RULE # 03
Phrases of inclusion, such as together

with, including, and along with, and other
prepositional phrases that appear
between the subject & verb, only
interrupt the agreement but do not affect
the number or the quantity of the
subject.
4
12/14/19
EXAMPLES
The classroom performance of TLE
teachers improves by systematic
evaluation of concerned authorities.
The lack of TLE teachers, including the

requirements of offering major course in
the tech-voc track of the K to 12 program,
results in importing teachers from other
subjects who just had training from short-
term courses.

RULE # 04
If the subjects are both singular and are
connected by the conjunction “or” and “nor,”
and if the pronouns “neither” and “either”
appear by themselves, the verb is singular.
However, if these pronouns function as
correlative conjunctions and become
neither/nor and either/or, the quantity of the
subject closest to the verb determines the
quantity of the verb.
EXAMPLES
The TLE teacher nor his/her learner is to
be blamed for a failure in the educational
system of tech-voc schools.
Neither of the two parties is held

responsible for poor academic
performance in TLE education.
Either the lack of support from the

government or the problematic
educational curricula cause the gaps in
TLE education that need to be addressed.

RULE # 05
If the sentence starts with “here” or
“there,” the subject is placed after the
verb. However, the verb still determines
the quantity of the subject. Note that
even though these words appear at the
beginning of a sentence, they do not
necessarily function as the subject; they
are still part of the verb phrase.

EXAMPLES
There are calls to move away from the
traditional lecture to interactive computer
learning systems.
There is an expectation among the

students to meet the desired learning
competency to pursue college.

RULE # 06
If an indefinite pronoun, such as
each, everybody, anything,
someone, no one, or nobody,
comes before the subject or
represents the subject of the
sentence, a singular verb is used.
EXAMPLES
Every TLE teacher has to be empowered
to strengthen the vocational skills of
students.
Each stakeholder has an important role to

play in achieving the goals of K to 12
program where TLE has come to the fore.

RULE # 07
Indefinite pronouns, such as

few, many, several, both, all,
and some always take the
plural form of the verb
10
12/14/19
EXAMPLES
Many (of the TLE teachers) attend
trainings and seminars in order for them to
be knowledgeable on the trends and
issues in their field.
Several (TLE students) find it hard to pass
the licensure examination because of the
many components that they have to
master.

RULE # 08
When indefinite pronouns like

some, half, none, more and all are
followed by a prepositional phrase,
the object of the preposition
identifies the form of the verb that
should be used in the sentence.
EXAMPLES
All of the learning competencies in TLE
are expected to be mastered by the TLE
teacher so he/she could teach these
effectively.
Most of our country’s educational system

is perceived to be problematic and faulty.

all the components of TLE, it seems.

RULE # 10
If a collective noun functions

as the subject of the
sentence, the verb should
be in the singular form.

reconsideration of policies in terms of the
nature of their licensure examination.

dishes with European fusion.

RULE # 11
Titles of various media

platforms are always treated as
singular; thus they always
agree with a singular verb.
16

EXAMPLES
The Plight of Unseen Teachers, which is a

documentary on the lives of indigenous
professional teachers, holds a strong
position in the list of local documentaries
to be awarded this year.

17
12/14/19
RULE # 12
A singular form of the verb follows the gerund

acting as the subject of a sentence. However,
when two gerund-subjects, referring to two
different situations, are linked by the
conjunction “and,” the plural form of the verb
should be used. Remember, focus on the
gerund and not on the noun phrase that may
come after it.
EXAMPLES
Conceptualizing the learning

competencies and implementing them are
crucial in achieving the goals of the TLE
curriculum.
Empowering the teacher involved in every

major is needed to successfully carry out
the delivery of the TLE curriculum.
