LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

PAST AND PAST PERFECT TENSE

Background Information for Learners

The Simple past and Past perfect tenses are both used to talk about things that
happened in the past. However, we use past perfect to talk about something that
happened before another action in the past, which is usually expressed by the past
simple. The following pointers shall be remembered when using these two tenses:

1. Use the simple past when the action started in the past, finished in the past, and
is not continuing now. Use the present perfect when the action started in the past and is
continuing now. The simple past tells us that an action happened at a certain time in
the past, and is not continuing anymore.

2. The past perfect tense is used to show that something happened before another
action in the past. It can also be used to show that something happened before a
specific time in the past.

3. The present perfect tells us that an action started in the past and it is still
happening now, or it is something that happens regularly. We may need more
information to tell us how long it has been going on. It may also tell us that the time
period it started in is still going on.

4. To form the past perfect tense you use the past tense of the verb "to have,"
which is had, and add it to the past participle of the main verb. For example: subject +
had + past participle = past perfect tense.

Learning Competency

Use the past and past perfect tenses correctly in varied contexts. EN7G-III-h-3

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET DIRECT

AND REPORTED SPEECH

Background Information for Learners

Communication is a vital day to day activity that you do when you are talking
with your friends, classmates, and teachers. You are pleased when you can clearly
express your thoughts and feelings through a meaningful conversation.

Have you ever tried passing messages or quoting an important statement from a
speaker? How well did you do it? Remember that, it is essential to pass a significant
message without changing its thought so you can avoid any misunderstanding.

Analyze the following sentences:

1.
“We must fight for what we believe in”, said President Rodrigo Duterte.
2.
President Rodrigo Duterte said that we must fight for what we believe in.

What can you observe in the sentences? The first example is a direct speech. It is a
sentence that reports a speech or thought using the exact words that a person used. The
words spoken are enclosed between quotation marks (“ ”).

Look at sentence number 2. The second example is a reported speech. It is a sentence

that focuses on the content of what someone said without quoting the exact words of that
Practice Proper Hygiene Protocol At All Times 5
person like what is done in a direct speech. When you want to report what someone said,
we do not use quotation marks. It usually talks about the past so tense may change.

Let’s see if you have fully grabbed the information above by answering series of
activities.

Learning Competency

Use direct and reported speech appropriately in varied contexts. EN7G-III-e-3

Exercise 1: Direct or Indirect

Directions: Analyze the given sentences. Identify whether the sentence below is direct or
reported speech. Write DIRECT if the statement is the exact words spoken by the speaker;
write REPORTED if the statement was expressed without quoting the exact words of the
speaker. Write your answer before the number.
_______1. “Where does Maria live?” he asked.
_______2. Kuya suggested that we have get something to eat.
_______3. My mother said that festivals are occasions to celebrate.
_______4. “I am proud of your achievements’’, the father said to his son.
_______5. The teacher said, “Wash your hands properly.”
_______6. “Please sanitize your hands using alcohol before entering the mall,” the security
guard reminded.
_______7. My mother pointed out that it was necessary to maintain physical distancing
because of the virus.
_______8. Jose stated that he was ready to come back to school.
_______9. Mang Victor mentioned that his wife and two children were nurses.
_______10. The police officer at the checkpoint told me to show my quarantine pass.

Exercise 2.1.: Who Said What?

Directions: Match the parts of sentences from Column A with the phrases from Column B to
form logical sentences.
Column A Column B

Practice Proper Hygiene Protocol At All Times 6

 a. wanted her to complete the report by
1. Joseph mentioned that his mother... Friday.

on corona virus.
4. The secretary promised she...
d. it was very risky to climb the mountain
5. The news reporter announced that... without guide.
e. would make an appointment.

Changes in Person, Place, Time, and Possessive Words

When we use indirect speech, we are reporting what someone else said in a different time

and situation. Logically, we need to change some of the wor ds from the original statement.
This happens with person, place, time, and possessive words.

For example:
DIRECT SPEECH: "You are a very responsible student." REPORTED
SPEECH: He said I was a very responsible student.
(We need to change the person word.)

DIRECT SPEECH: "It is raining here."

REPORTED SPEECH: She said it was raining there.
(We need to change the place word.)

DIRECT SPEECH: "I went to the library yesterday."

REPORTED SPEECH: She said she went to the library the day before.
(We need to change the time word.)

DIRECT SPEECH: "Brownie is our pet dog."

REPORTED SPEECH: She said Brownie is their pet dog.
(We need to change the possessive word.)

PHRASES, CLAUSES AND SENTENCES

Background Information for Learners

A phrase is a group of words that stands together as a single unit, typically as part of
a clause or a sentence. It is also a group of related words (within a sentence) without both
subject and verb.

Practice Proper Hygiene Protocol At All Times 16

 A noun phrase consists of a noun and other related words (usually modifiers and
determiners) which modify the noun. It functions like a noun in a sentence.
A noun phrase serves the same purpose as a noun. That means it can be the
subject or object of the verb. It can also be the object of the preposition.

Example: Victoria had a weak heart. (The phrase a weak heart is considered a noun
phrase, heart is the noun and weak is a modifier.)

A verb phrase is a combination of the main verb and its auxiliary (helping verb) in a
sentence. Some examples of helping verbs are the following: am, is, are, be, has, have,
do, does, may, might, must, can, shall and will.

Example: The shot did not scare Gracee. (The phrase did not scare is a verb phrase,
scare is the main verb and did is the helping verb.)

A group of words in a sentence, which contains a subject and a predicate

within the group, is called a clause.

Examples: When the President spoke everybody was listening.

Yesterday I saw the speech of the President which was aired the other day.

There are two basic kinds of clauses: Independent clauses and Dependent clauses.
An independent clause can stand by itself as a complete sentence while a dependent
clause cannot stand by itself as a complete sentence: it can only be a part of a sentence.
An example is given below to differentiate an independent clause and a dependent
clause.

I went to the pharmacy where I purchased personal protective equipmentI went to the pharmacy –
is an independent clause. .

Where I purchased personal protective equipment – is a dependent

clause.
A sentence is made up of words and expresses a complete thought and in order to express a
complete thought; a sentence must contain a subject and a predicate.
Learning Competency

Use phrases, clauses and sentences appropriately and meaningfully. EN7G-II-a-1

Exercise 1: Identify Me

Directions: Let us recall the kinds of phrases by answering this activity. Read each sentence
carefully and differentiate a noun phrase from a verb phrase. Underline the phrases in the
sentences and write NP on the lines provided for noun phrase and VP for verb phrase.

clauses in order to form complete thought.

Directions: Underline the independent clause once and the dependent clause twice.

See the example: The doctors were rattled when the patients cried for help.

1. Everyone should wear his mask when he goes out.

2. People were impatient while waiting for their food supplies.

are the four reading strategies you have to use to make your reading productive. Just
remember the key words in each of the types so you can easily master them.

numbers, names, etc.) while omitting other details. If your purpose of reading is to
search for specific information that may be somewhere a text or graph, scanning is
appropriate to use.
2. Skimming
• Skimming involves reading to get the main idea of the material before looking for
certain details that back it up. If your purpose is to read quickly through a text to
gain an overview of its content, you are going to use skimming strategy.
3. Intensive
• Intensive reading involves learners reading in detail with specific learning aims
and tasks. If you aim to read a text thoroughly to understand and remember what

strategy.
4. Extensive

The Philippines: Culture and Tradition

Practice Proper Hygiene Protocol At All Times 31
 Country Specific

Filipino people are known as settlers in many parts of the world. They are like the
chameleon who easily adapts to different environmen ts. They thrive to survive.
Survival of the fittest is their banner.

The Republic of the Philippines was named to honor King Philip II of Spain in 1543.
Filipinos are originally from the southern part of Asia. People from countries like China,
India, the United States and Spain married Fi lipinos resulting in a great deal of
stock blending. 79 indigenous ethnic groups compose the Filipino people. According to
Wikipedia, the last five hundred years of eventful history of the country added an impact to
the cultural blend of the Asian and West ern population. The colonial reign of the
Spaniards in 1570 -1898 as well as the Americans in 1903-1946, resulted in the expansion
of Christian values, which gave an identity to every Filipino. And the interaction with other
countries’ cultures, like the on es from China, India, Indonesia and Malaysia, gave a
specific Asian touch to the cultural heritage of the Philippines.

Language
There are 175 estimated languages spoken in the Philippines. Almost all are classified
as Malayo -Polynesian languages. Among those languages, there are 13 indigenous
languages with nearly 1 million speakers.

For more than three centuries Spanish was the official language under Spain’s colonial
rule. It was spoken by 60% of the population as either a first, second or third language
in the early 2 0th century. However, the use of Spanish began to decline after the United
States occupation in the early 1900’s. In 1935 the Constitution of the Philippines named
English and Spanish the official languages. In 1939 the Tag alog language was
named the na tional language. The language was renamed “Pilipino” in 1959 and finally
“Filipino” in 1973 . The present Constitution names Filipino and English as joint official
languages.

Religion
The majority of Filipino people practice the Christian religion. Spain highly influenced
the people to the extent that the Philippines became one of the two predominantly Christian
nations in the Asia Pacific, the other being East Timor. According to Wikipedia, Christianity
is the religion of about 80% of the Philippine population (mostly Catholics) while Islam is
the religion of 11%, and other religions and beliefs comprise the 9% of the rest of the
population.
Celebrations
Christmas is one of the most loved celebration by Filipinos. Families and relatives gather
on the 24th of December, to celebrate food prepared for “Noche Buena,” a Spanish term
which means “midnight meal” to greet Christmas Day. New Year is another celebration that
gathers the Filipino families. Wearing dotted clothes and preparing round fruits on the table,
which symbolize prosperity, is one of the many customs of the Filipinos.
Sports
