 Composing Clear and Coherent
Sentences using Appropriate
Grammatical Structures
(verb tenses)

Introduction

In your previous grades in school, you are taught that verb are action
words used to provide details of what a subject is doing as described within sentences.
You also learned how to use appropriate grammatical structures to write a more
coherent ideas and sentences with the help of subject and verb agreement.
Singular nouns or subjects must have singular verbs as well as plural
nouns having plural verbs but suggests the opposite when we use a present tense. A
dog chases the mailman for example, has one noun and added to the verb ‘chase’ is ‘-
s’.

In this Guided Learning Activity Kit, we are going to enjoy composing clear
and coherent sentences using appropriate grammatical structures in verb tenses.
Happy learning!

The Magic Window

Once upon a time there was a little boy who became very ill. He had to spend
all day in bed, unable to move. Because other children weren't allowed to come
near him, he suffered greatly, and spent his days feeling sad and blue.
There wasn't much he could do except look out of the window. Time passed,
and his feeling of despair just grew. Until one day he saw a strange shape in the
window. It was a penguin eating a sausage sandwich. The penguin squeezed in
through the open window, said "Good afternoon" to the boy, turned around, and
left again.
Of course, the boy was very surprised. He was still trying to work out what had
happened, when outside his window he saw a monkey in a nappy, busy blowing
up a balloon. At first the boy asked himself what that could possibly be, but after
a while, as more and more crazy-looking characters appeared out the window, he
burst out laughing and found it hard to stop.
Anyone wanting to stop laughing would never be helped by seeing a pig playing
a tambourine, an elephant jumping on a trampoline, or a dog wearing a pair of
glasses and talking about nothing except politics. The little boy didn't tell anyone
about this because who would have believed him? Even so, those strange
characters ended up putting joy back in his heart, and in his body. Before long,
his health had improved so much that he was able to go back to school again.
There he got to talk to his friends and tell them all the strange things he had
seen. While he was talking to his best friend he saw something sticking out of his
friend's school bag. The boy asked his friend what it was, and he was so insistent
that finally his friend had to show him what was in the bag:
There, inside, were all the fancy-dress suits and disguises that his best friend
had been using to try to cheer the little boy up!
And from that day on, the little boy always did his best to make sure that no
one felt sad and alone.

 Discussion
Well done! You finished the task easily. Now, we know that you are
ready for the next lesson, learning verb tenses and how and when to use them.
Let us study and analyze the picture below.

What can you see in the picture? What does it say?

Now, let’s look at the picture below. What do you think are the formed
words below? What does each of them means?

Longos Integrated School

 A verb is a word or a combination of words that indicates action or a state of being
or condition. A verb is the part of a sentence that tells us what the subject performs.

Throw and catch are example

of action words as well as 3I
sleep, walk, run, sit, fetch and
stretch.

Tenses of verb however, are associated with time of when the action is performed.
In the first picture, we can see a boy, an adult and an old man with captions past,
present and future. While in the second picture, we can see words such as eat with
additional letters ‘-s’, ‘-en’ and ‘-ing which makes the verb ‘eat’ emphasize the time of its
execution. Another word in the picture is ‘ate’ which means the subject is done on what
he/she was doing.

Verb tenses are not only for action words but also for linking verbs (is/was and
are/were).
There are three main verb tenses.

1. Past Tense
2. Present Tense
3. Future Tense

Past tense is a verb tense used for a past activity or a past state of being.
For example:I jumped in the bridge. (past activity)
I was happy. (past state of being)

Present tense is a grammatical tense whose principal function is to locate a

situation or event in the present time. The present tense is used for actions which are
happening now.

For example: I drink eight glasses of water every day. (current activity)
I am glad to see you here. (present state of being)
Future tense is a verb tense used for a future activity or a future state of being.

For example: I will call you when I get home. (future activity)
I will be happy to meet you there. (future state of being)

 Another term that you should remember is participle. It is a verb form that can be
used as an adjective, to create verb tense, or to create the passive voice. There are two
types of participles: Present participle (ending -ing) Past participle (usually ending -ed,
-d, -t, -en, or -n).

Activities

Guided Practice 1
Directions: Determine if the underlined verb is in past tense, present tense or future
tense. Write PAST if it is in past tense, PRESENT if it is in present tense and FUTURE

_________2. Jim walks out the room after hearing the bad news.

_________3. She catches the ball and throws it to the catcher.

_________4. I was drinking soda when he made a joke.

_________5. He said he will wash the dishes after one more game.

Independent Practice

My Best Teacher
Teachers are the ones who build a good nation and
make the world a better place. My best teacher is called
Robert. He teaches us English. I admire him because
he is well-prepared in advance for our lessons. He is
like a friend that helps us and encourages us to do our
best to achieve our goals. I like his subject because he
gives us the chance to excel without putting too much
pressure on us.

For example: teaches – taught (past), will teach (future)

1. _______________ - _________________, _________________
2. _______________ - _________________, _________________
3. _______________ - _________________, _________________
4. _______________ - _________________, _________________

 Acknowledgment

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the following, who in one way or
the other, have contributed to the successful preparation, development, quality
assurance, printing, and distribution of the Quarter 4 Guided Learning Activity Kits
(GLAK) as a response to providing the learners with developmentally appropriate,
contextualized and simplified learning resources with most essential learning
competencies (MELCs)-based activities anchored on the principles of guided learning
and explicit instruction:

First, my School Head, Jonathan N. Mallari for his continuous encouragement and
unwavering support for the completion of this GLAK.

Second, the layout artist, my daughter, Pat Rych C. Tomelden for helping me in
making this Guided Learning Activity Kits (GLAK).

Third , the parents and other home learning facilitators for giving the learners the
needed guidance and support for them to possibly accomplish the tasks and for
gradually helping them become independent learners.

Finally, God and my family who served as my inspiration to deliver learning

continuity in this challenging circumstance to serving our Longos Integrated School
learners.

Thank you very much!
