E. Lesson Proper
e.1 Homonyms are words with the same sound and pronounced alike but differ in
meaning.
e.2 Homonyms come from the prefix ‘homo-” which means the same, and “-nym”, a
suffix which means name. So, homonyms mean words that have the same sound, but
have different spellings and meanings.
e.3 Read the following sentences below:
1. Luisa gave mother a single flower as a birthday present.
2. Sister Susie used flour in baking bread.
Notice the two words written in bold letters. How do the words flower and flour have
something similar? How do they differ?
Flower and flour have the same sound while they differ in spelling and of course in
meaning. Flower means the seed-bearing part of a plant. Flour is a powder obtained by
grinding grain, typically wheat and used to make bread, cakes, and pastry.
e.4 Read the given examples.
The words fair and fare are homonyms. They have different spellings but have the
same sound. They also differ in meanings. Fair means being equal, while fare refers to
the money being paid in riding a public vehicle.
Mail and male are homonyms. They have the same sounds but have different
meanings. Mail refers to a letter sent or received, while the second male means a man
or a boy.
The words eight and ate are homonyms. The word eight refers to number while ate is
an action word that is past tense of eat.

What do you think is the problem and the solution?

E. Lesson Proper
e.1 A problem is something that needs to be solved or worked out. It is a situation that
causes difficulties for people
Example: All of the toys fell in the mud.
When there is a problem, there is always an end to it.
e.2 A solution to a problem is a way of dealing with it so that the difficulty is removed.
It is an act or process of solving a problem.
Example: I picked up the toys from the mud and washed them.
Understanding a problem will lead you into thinking of a better solution or answer.
e.3 Problem – is a conflict between characters, nature, and the character herself. It is
usually found at the beginning of the story.
Example: Vei’s younger brother Angelo is crying. Angelo does not know how to tie his
shoestring. His older brother had taught him many times. He listened carefully and
they practice together. Now, he already knew how to tie his shoestring.
*Angelo does not know how to tie the shoestring.e.4 Read the given examples.
Solution – is the way in which the problem is solved. It is usually found in the middle
or end of the story.
Example.
* His older brother had taught him many times.
He listened very careful and they practice together
e.4 If you have identified what is the problem and give solutions, you would know that
problem is defined as a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and
needing to be dealt with and overcome, while solution means solving a problem or
fixing a difficult situation.
F. Generalization
What is a problem?
How can you define solution?
How can you identify the problem and solution properly?

G. Values Integration
Setbacks are a natural part of problem-solving and can be valuable learning
experiences. Identifying solutions to problems encourage a growth mindset,
emphasizing that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work.
