A. Preliminary Activities
1. Opening Prayer Before we formally start. May I
request Kaye to lead us in our
Opening Prayer?
Our Father… Amen.
2. Greetings Good morning, Class!
Good morning, Ma’am!

Who is absent today class?

3. Checking of No one is absent, Ma’am.
Attendance Very good class!
B. Review of the past Okay, class, before we jump into
lesson/ Motivation. our lesson, let us first have a
review of our past lessons. Who
among you can remember our past
lessons? Benjamin Fraklin’s quotes
ma’am.

Excellent!

First, who can tell me what

Benjamin Franklin is known for?
He was a writer, inventor,
and one of the Founding
Fathers of the United States.

That’s right! Now, where did many

of his famous quotes come from?
Poor Richard’s Almanack!

Good! But we also learned that

some quotes credited to Franklin
were actually said by other people.
Can anyone give an example of a
misattributed quote? A penny saved is a penny
earned.’ He actually wrote
‘A penny saved is two
pence clear.

Exactly! Why is it important to

check if a quote is really from
Franklin? Because spreading false
information can change
history and mislead people.

Very well said! Lastly, what did They teach us to work hard,
you learn from Franklin’s real use our time wisely, and
quotes? develop good character.

Great insights! Remember,

Franklin’s wisdom still applies
today.

C. Establishing a Now let us proceed to our lesson.

purpose for the Let’s take a look first at the
lesson objectives that you should attain at
the end of this lesson.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, students
 should be able to:

1. Identify the correct subject-

verb agreement in given
sentences based on the
rules.
2. Construct grammatically
correct sentences using
proper subject-verb
agreement.
3. Express the importance of
subject-verb agreement in
clear communication.

D. Presenting As we formally start our lesson,

Examples of the
New Lesson

Yes, ma’am
today we are going to play an
exciting game! It’s called "4 Pics,
1 Word." I will show you four

pictures, and you need to guess

the word that connects them all.
Are you ready?
Ma’am, is it subject?
Great! Let’s begin. Here’s the first
set of pictures.

What do you think is the common

word?

Yes! The answer is "Agreement."

Well done! Now, let’s try another
one.

Fantastic!
How about the last picture?
 Well done!
Agreement, ma’am!

E. Discussing newOur topic for today is Subject-Verb

knowledge and presentingAgreement. Have you ever heard
new skills. sentences that sound incorrect but
you’re not sure why? Today, we
will learn how to make our
sentences grammatically correct
by ensuring that the subject and
verb agree!

Do you know what a subject is?

Yes, ma’am! The subject is the
one doing the action.

Good! How about a verb?

The verb is the action word in a
sentence.

did you know that some verbs do

not show action?

Verbs like is, was, are, were, has,

and have are called linking verbsNo, ma’am
or helping verbs. They do not(Answers may vary)
show action but instead connect
the subject to more information.

Excellent! Now, in every sentence,

the subject and verb must agree.
This means that if the subject is
singular, the verb must also be
singular. If the subject is plural, the
verb must be plural too.

This hint helps us remember an

important rule about verbs!

If the subject is singular (one

person or thing), the verb adds
"S."

If the subject is plural (more than

one), the verb does not have "S."

Just remember: Singular? Add

"S"! Plural? No "S"!

If the subject is singular, the verb Writes!

must be singular as well.
The subject "boy" is singular.
The verb "plays" is also in singular
form. Because "She" is singular, and
singular subjects take a verb with
"S" in the present tense.

If the subject is plural, the verb

must be plural as well.
The subject "boys" is plural.
The verb "play" is also in plural
form.

Look at the sentence:

Enjoy!

Because "They" is plural, and

plural subjects use the base form
of the verb without "S" in the

Good! Why do we use "writes"

instead of "write"?

That's correct!
Look at this sentence:

Good! Why do we use "enjoy"

instead of "enjoys"?

Eat, ma’am!

That's correct!

"I" is singular, but it follows plural Was, ma’am!

verb rules in most cases, except for
"am" and "was."

For example, Similarly, we say I

go to school every day. (Not "I goes")
I drive to work. (Not "I drives")
This is an exception in English
grammar that you should
remember!

What is the correct verb?

Yes! "I" takes the base form of the

verb in the present tense. Now, "I
(was, were) very tired after the
exam.

Correct! "I" follows the singular

form in the past tense. Great job!

Are!

Play!
Whether "you" refers to one
person or many, it always takes a
plural verb.

"You" always takes "are," whether

singular or plural.

1. They heard the baby cry.

2. Mom let me go outside.

Let’s complete these sentences.

Which is correct?

Good! Now, "You (play, plays)

the piano beautifully.

Yes! "You" always takes a plural

verb. Well done!

After watch, see, hear, feel, help,

let, and make, the verb that follows
must stay in its base form (without
-s, -es, or -ed).

The books ma’am

After verbs of perception (watch,

see, hear, feel), we use the base
form of the verb.

Choose the correct verb:

Are
Great! Because after verbs like
"heard" and "let," we use the base
form of the verb (without -s, -es,
or -ed).

Very good, class! Let’s move on to

our first rule! Kindly read, Mark.

Sometimes, extra words come

between the subject and the verb.
But don’t let them confuse you!
The verb must always match the
main subject, not the words in
between.

What is the main subject here,

class?

Yes the subject are the books that

is why our verb must be plural, the
answer is what?

We focus on 'books,' not 'shelf'

Let’s move on to our second rule!

Kindly read, Mark.

Approves!
Sometimes, we see phrases like ‘as
well as’ or ‘along with’ that
mention additional people or
things. But remember, these Because "The president" is the
phrases do not change the subject’s main subject, and it is singular.
number! The verb still matches the The phrase "as well as his
first noun. advisers" does not change the
subject.

 The main subject is "My

brother", which is
singular.
 The phrase "as well as my
cousins" adds extra
information but does not
make the subject plural.
 Since the subject is still
singular, we use "likes"
(the singular verb).

"My brother, as well as my

cousins, likes basketball."

Even though "cousins" is plural, it

does not change the fact that "my
brother" is the main subject.

Let’s complete this sentence:

Was, ma’am!

Because 'aunt' is singular and it's

closest to the verb.
Correct! Now, why do we use
"approves" instead of "approve"?

Awesome work! Always

remember, phrases like "as well
as" do not make the subject plural.
Well done!

Now, let’s move on to Rule 3!

Kindly read, Jacob.

When we use 'either/or' or

'neither/nor,' we have two subjects.
The trick is simple—the verb
follows the subject that is closer to
it!

In either/or and neither/nor

sentences, the verb agrees with the
noun closest to it.

For example:
"Either my mother or my sisters
are coming." (Sisters is plural, so
we use "are.")

"Either my sisters or my mother

is coming." (Mother is singular,
so we use "is.")
Always check the noun closest to Work
the verb!
Because 'The doctor and the
nurse' are two different people,
so the subject is plural, and we
use 'work.

Which is correct?

Great! Why?

Correct! The verb agrees with the

nearest noun. Well done!

Now, let’s move on to Rule 4!

Kindly read, Angela.
When a sentence has two subjects
joined by 'and,' and they refer to
different people or things, we
always use a plural verb.

In this sentence, "My mother and

my teacher" are two different
people. When two subjects are
joined by "and", the subject
becomes plural, so the verb must
also be plural.

Correct sentence:
"My mother and my teacher
attend the party."
Since we are talking about two
people, we use "attend" instead
of "attends."

Which is correct?

Great! Why?

Correct! When two subjects are

joined by 'and,' the verb must be
plural. Well done!

Let’s proceed to rule 5. Kindly

read, Summer.

Sometimes, a subject may look

plural because it has two parts
connected by 'and.' However, if
both parts refer to the same person
or thing, the subject is actually
singular, so we use a singular verb.

In this sentence, "The manager

and owner" refer to one person
who has both roles. Since it is a
single person, the subject is
singular, so we use "was."

Correct sentence:
"The manager and owner was
present." Is

Even though there are two titles,

they belong to the same person,
so the verb must be singular.

Now, let’s move on to Rule 6!

Kindly read, Vea.

A collective noun refers to a group

of people or things, like 'team,'
'family,' or 'class.' The tricky part
is deciding whether to treat it as
singular or plural.

The team is acting as one so the

correct verb is “is” But if the team
members are doing different
things, the verb changes. Look at
this:
 Has

Because 'pie' is singular, and we

The team are arguing individually look at the noun in the 'of' phrase
so the correct verb is “are” to decide the verb.

Now, let's move on to Rule 7.

Have

When a sentence starts with ‘here’

or ‘there,’ the subject comes after
the verb. That means we need to
look after the verb to find whether
the subject is singular or plural.

Correct sentence: "There are

three books on the table."
Always look at the subject after Is, ma’am!
the verb to choose the correct form

Now, let’s move on to Rule 8. Because sums of money are

Kindly read, Paul. treated as a single unit, not
individual pesos.

Some pronouns are always

singular, even if they seem to refer
to multiple people. Since they are
singular, they always take a
singular verb.
which is correct?

Correct! 'Everybody' sounds like

many people, but it is always
singular, so we use 'is.' Well done!

Now, let’s move on to Rule 9.

Kindly read, Maris.
Writes!

Because 'who' refers to 'scientist,'

which is singular, so the verb
must also be singular.
When we use words like percent,
fraction, part, majority, some, all,
none, remainder, and similar
words, we need to check the noun
in the 'of' phrase to decide whether
the verb should be singular or
plural.

Let's look at this sentence:

Which is correct?

Correct! Why do we use 'has'?

Exactly! Since 'pie' is singular, we

use 'has.' If it were 'One-half of the
apples,' what verb would we use?
Great job! Always check the noun
in the 'of' phrase to choose the
correct verb!

! Now, let's move on to Rule 10.

Kindly read, Raymund.
Die!

Because 'the good' is an adjective

used as a noun, referring to a
group of people, so it takes a
plural verb.
Even though these nouns look
plural, they are considered a single
unit when expressing an amount, a
period, or a measurement. That
means we use a singular verb.

Let’s look at this sentence:

Correct! Why do we use 'is'

instead of 'are'?

Exactly! Even though 'fifty

thousand pesos' sounds like a lot,
we think of it as one amount, so
we use a singular verb. The same
rule applies to time and distance.
Great job!

Let us proceed to rule 11. Kindly

read, Wixia.

Are

When using who, that, or which, Because 'A number of' means
the verb should match the noun 'many,' so it is treated as plural.
directly before the pronoun.

Let’s look at this sentence

Which is correct?

Correct! Now, why do we use

'writes'? Were ma’am!
Attend, ma’am!

Exactly! The pronouns who, that,

and which always agree with the Because 'both' and 'many' are
noun before them. Since 'scientist' indefinite pronouns that are
is singular, we use 'writes.' Well always plural, so they take plural
done! verbs.

let's move on to Rule 12. Kindly

read, Icah.

Sometimes, adjectives can act as

nouns, referring to a group of
people with a shared quality. When
this happens, we always use a
plural verb.

Let’s look at this sentence: Is, ma’am!

Because 'news' looks plural but is

actually singular in meaning.

Correct! Why do we use 'die'?

Exactly! When adjectives like 'the

good,' 'the brave,' or 'the poor' act
as nouns, they refer to a group of
people and use a plural verb. Great
job!

Now, let’s move on to another

common rule about numbers!
Kindly read, Tanggol.
Be careful when using the phrases
‘a number’ and ‘the number’—
they don’t mean the same thing!
‘A number’ refers to many people
or things, so we use a plural verb.
‘The number’ focuses on one Is, ma’am!
specific total, so we use a singular
verb.

Let’s look at this sentence:

Because 'The Philippines' is the

name of a country, and titles of
single entities are always
singular.
Which is correct?

Correct! Why do we use 'are'?

Exactly! But remember, if we say

'The number of Filipinos', we use
'is' because it refers to a specific
amount. Well done!

Now, let’s move on to another rule.

Kindly read, Aesha.

Some indefinite pronouns are

always plural, meaning they take a
plural verb.

Let’s look at these sentences:

Which are correct?

Great! Now, why do we use 'were' The scissors are badly needed.
and 'attend'?
A pair of scissors is all I need.

Exactly! Words like several, few,

both, and many are always plural,
so they must have plural verbs.
Well done!

Some nouns may look plural

because they end in -s, but they
actually refer to a single idea and Because 'scissors' is always
take a singular verb. plural, but 'a pair of scissors'
refers to one unit, so it is
Kindly read the rule, Jovelita singular.

Let’s look at this sentence:

Which is correct?

Correct! Why do we use 'is'?

Exactly! Some nouns, like news,

physics, mathematics, and ethics,
end in 's' but are considered
singular, so they take a singular
verb. Great job!

Kindly read, Roderick.

When we refer to books,

organizations, countries, or any
single entity, even if the name
sounds plural, we always use a
singular verb.

Let’s look at this sentence

Which is correct?

Correct! Why do we use 'is'?

Exactly! Even if a name looks

plural, if it refers to one entity—
like a country, book, or
organization—it takes a singular
verb. Well done!

Is
Now, let us proceed to Rule 17.
Kindly read, Roland.

Some objects come in pairs—like

scissors, trousers, glasses, and
shoes—so they are always plural.
However, when we use the phrase
‘a pair of’, the verb becomes
singular.

Let’s look at these sentences

Which are correct?
Great! Now, why do we use 'are' in Her hair is gray.
the first sentence and 'is' in the
second? The grass is getting long.

Because 'hair' and 'grass' are

Exactly! Items like scissors, uncountable nouns, so they take
trousers, and glasses are always a singular verb.
plural, but when we say 'a pair of',
we treat it as singular. Well done!

Now, let us proceed to Rule 18.

Kindly read, Sophia.

Even though the phrase ‘one of

the’ is followed by a plural noun,
the verb must be singular because
we are referring to only one from
the group.

Let’s look at this sentence:

The correct answer is 'is.'

Equals!
Because the subject is 'One,' which
is singular. Even though 'dogs' is Because arithmetic operations
plural, the phrase 'one of the' tells are seen as a single unit, so they

from the group.
So, we use a singular verb: 'One of
the dogs is wagging its tail.'
Always remember, 'One of the'
takes a singular verb!"

Now, let us proceed to Rule 19.

Kindly read, Jonard.
When a gerund—a verb ending in
-ing that acts as a noun—is the
subject of a sentence, it takes a
singular verb. However, if there
are two different gerunds, the verb
must be plural because they refer
to separate activities.

Let’s look at this sentence:

Which is correct?

Because 'jumping' is a gerund, and

gerunds act as singular subjects, so
they take a singular verb.

But if we have two gerunds, like

'Jumping and running are fun
activities,' we use a plural verb.

Now, let us proceed to Rule 20.

Kindly read, Aiah.

Uncountable Nouns Take a

Singular Verb
Teacher: Some nouns look plural
but cannot be counted, so they
always take a singular verb.

Let’s look at these sentences

Which are correct?"
Correct! Why do we use 'is'?

Exactly! Even though they seem

like many strands or blades, they
are treated as singular in grammar.
Well done!

Rule 21. Kindly read, Juztine.

When we talk about math

operations like addition or
multiplication, we treat them as
single numerical units, so we use a
singular verb.

Let’s look at this sentence:

Which is correct?

Correct! Why do we use 'equals'?

Exactly! Even though we are

adding numbers, the equation itself
is treated as one idea, so we use a
singular verb. Great job!
F. Developing Mastery Let’s now develop your mastery
then.

G. Finding Practical Now that we’ve learned the rules When we talk to people, like
applications of concepts of subject-verb agreement, let’s making sure we say 'She likes
and skills in daily living. think about how we use them in ice cream' instead of 'She like
real life. Can you give me ice cream.'
examples of where subject-verb
agreement is important in our
daily activities?

Great! Using correct subject-verb

agreement makes our speech
clearer. How about in writing?

It’s important in writing

emails, messages, and reports
 so that we sound professional
and correct.
(Answers may vary)
Exactly! If you were writing a
formal letter, saying 'The manager
approve the request' instead of
'The manager approves the
request' could confuse the reader.
Where else do we see this?

On signs and announcements!

Like, 'The store opens at 9 AM'
instead of 'The store open at 9
AM.
(Answers may vary)

That’s right! Subject-verb

agreement helps us communicate
clearly, whether we’re speaking,
writing, or reading instructions.
Always check your subject and
verb to make sure they match!
H. Making Let’s have a short recap of what
Generalizations we discussed.

Now, can anyone tell me the basic

rule of Subject-Verb Agreement?

Singular subjects take singular

verbs, and plural subjects take
plural verbs.

Excellent! Can someone give me

an example?
The boy plays basketball.

That’s right! The subject "boy" is

singular, so we use "plays," which
is also singular. What happens if
the subject is plural?
The boys play basketball.

Correct! The subject "boys" is

plural, so the verb "play" does not
take an "s." Great job, class!

I. Evaluating Learning Choose FIVE subject-verb

agreement rules and create one
sentence for each.
Underline the subject(s) and
circle the verb.
