ALL ABOUT FAMILIES

By: Elvira Masilungan-Beduya

Who are the members of your family? Family members may be fathers,
mothers, brothers, or sisters. They may also include grandparents, aunties, uncles,
and cousins, some families have all of these members. Others do not. But whoever
their members are, they should love and take care of each other.

People are not the only ones with families. Some animals have families, too.
A family of wolves is called a pack. It usually has an adult male and female, as
well as their pups. The adult male and female are the heads of the family. They
lead the pack in hunting for food.

Monkeys also belong to families. They travel together in groups to find food
 Within this group is a smaller one called harem. A harem is made up of one
adult male monkey, several adult female monkeys, and baby monkeys. Like
human babies, baby monkeys. Like human babies, baby monkeys are helpless at
birth. That is why, most of them cling to their mothers. Some monkeys, however,
are cared for by their fathers. The father monkeys carry them on their backs and
protect them from harm. When they are hungry, the father gives them to the
mother to nurse.

A pride is a family of lions. It is a group of lionesses and their cubs with a few
adult males. The adult males do not stay permanently in the group. The lionesses,
however, stay with the pride as long as they live.

Elephants live in a family group called herds. Usually, a herd is a group of

related females and their children. The matriarch is the leader of the herd. She is
the oldest and wisest in the group. She knows where food, water, and shelter are
to be found. She also teaches proper elephant behaviour to the young ones.

For people and some animals, a family is important. It is the family that takes
care of us. It is also the one that teaches us what we need to know to survive.
And for us people, it is where we first learn to love, respect, and take care of
others.

Who are the members of your family? Words that refer to people are called
nouns. Nouns also name animals, things, places, and events. They can be
grouped in different ways.

Common And Proper Nouns

A common noun refers to any person, animal, thing, or place. It begins with a
small letter.
Examples: mother, dog, soap
A proper noun refers to a specific person, animal, thing, or place. It begins with
a capital letter.

Count and mass nouns

Count nouns can be counted one by one. We can use numbers to tell how
many they are.
Examples: two bears, one man, ten trees, eight nests.
Mass nouns cannot be counted one by one. In order to tell the amount of
mass nouns, we use quantifiers or words that tell quantity.
Examples: a glass of water, a spoonful of sugar,
A kilo of meat a jar of honey

Classify the given nouns below under their proper headings.

Alphabetizing

When we alphabetize a list of words, we begin by placing them in a-b-c

order according to the first letter of each word. You may silently recite the
alphabet as your guide.

If we have two or more words that begin with the same letter, we look at the
second letters. We arrange the second letters according to which comes
first in the alphabet.

If the first and second letters are the same, we go to the third letters and
arrange them alphabetically.

Arrange alphabetically the names of trees and plants in each box. Number
them from 1-5.

____________nara ____________fern

____________mahogany ____________makahiya
1. 2.
____________neem ____________sampaguita

____________talisay ____________santan

A subject pronoun is used in the following instances:

talked about in the sentence.)
2. Before the “be” verbs: is, are, was, were, will be, shall be
Some subject pronouns refer to only one person, place, thing, or event.
