an action that had taken place
in the past.

time in the past to tell what

Correct! The movie tells a story about five
siblings and how they deal about family matters. The movie is called “Four
Sisters and a Wedding”.
Before we proceed, choose a partner for our activity.

(Show sample of anticipated guide.)

This is called an anticipated guide. Let us check if

you know something about the movie, “Four Sisters
and a Wedding”.

I will give each pair of students a copy of the (The students will answer the
anticipated guide. Please answer the left side of it. anticipated guide before
watching the video clip.)
Now, let us watch the video. You can answer now
the right side of the anticipated guide while the

Please pass the guides to the front.

Values Integration:

Students, what happened when Teodora (Students will answer.)

Told the truth to her family?

Did the mother get angry? No, ma’am.

Why is that so? The mother didn’t get mad

because she loves Teodora.
Exactly. What we saw was a perfect example of a
family resolving a problem.

Teodora told what happened to her as an OFW. She

was afraid to reveal it because she thought everyone
will see her as a failure.

Did the family see her that way? No, ma’am.

That’s right! What Teodora did make her free from

what she’s afraid to tell.

Remember, it is important to seek your family’s help

in solving problems and improving yourselves.

D. Presentation of the Lesson:

Now, let us examine a few sentences from the
Video clip.

1. “ Teddy, say the truth. It’s about time.”

2. “Please tell me, Roberta!”

3. “Roberta, let Teddy choose what bag she wants.”

What type of sentence are these? Ma’am, these are imperative

sentences.
Correct! What does an imperative sentence An imperative sentence
express? expresses a command or
request.
Exactly. Let us examine the first sentence.
“Teddy, say the truth. It’s about time.”

As you’ve mentioned earlier, this is an imperative

sentence. It expresses a command or a request.

What word in this sentence expressed the command Ma’am, the word “say”
or request?

Very good! What part of speech does “say” belong to? Ma’am, “say” is a verb.

Nice! Let us examine the second sentence:

“Please tell me, Roberta.”
What word was used in the sentence to express a “Tell” was used.
command or request?

What part of speech does “tell” belong to? “Tell” is a verb.

Now, let us study the third sentence:

“Roberta, let Teddy choose what bag she wants.”

What word in the sentence expressed a command “Let” was used.

or request?

What part of speech does “let” belong to? “Let” is a verb.

Correct!

After studying the sentences, what part of speech Ma’am, the verbs expressed
expressed a command or request? command or request.

That is right!

E. Discussion

In every imperative sentence, there is a verb

that expresses a command or request.
They are called imperatives.

We use imperatives in sentences in which you

Tell someone what to do.

It is also important to use the correct preposition

for every imperative sentence.

Let us examine this picture.

What imperative sentence can we make using this

picture?
(The teacher will write the sentence.) “Pick the trash.”

What is the imperative used in the sentence? “Pick” is the imperative.

Why did we use the word “pick” as an imperative We use “pick” because we have
instead of other words? to get the trash in the picture.

That is correct! Though the sentence is correct, it

lacks something.

Let us put down the picture.

(The teacher will put down the picture.)

Using the sentence given, do we still know where to No, ma’am.

pick the trash?

Why is that? We don’t know where to pick

the trash because we don’t
know its location.
Correct! In every command or request, we should be
specific.

We have to use prepositions that tells a location to

do the command correctly.
(Put back the picture.)

Now, how can we improve the sentence using a “Pick up the trash beside the
preposition? tree.”

Excellent!

Let us examine another picture.

Construct an imperative sentence out of this picture Please buy milk beside our
if you want somebody to buy milk. house.

Well done!

What is the imperative in the sentence? “Buy” is the imperative.

Correct! Did we use the correct preposition for the Yes, ma’am.
sentence?

Why? Beside is used to show that

something is in the left or right
side of another object.

If you can choose another preposition to use, what We can also use “by”, “near” or
would it be? “next to”.

Why can we use them? As we can see in the picture,

the house is just beside or near
the house. So we can use “by”,
That is true. “near” or “next to”.

F. Application

Let us have a group activity. Group yourselves into

four.

Two members from each group will do a short skit

and use an imperative and a preposition.

You will show a scene about an experience from

your family that made you learn a lesson.

I will give you a scenario to help you make a skit.

The remaining members from the group will have to
identify the imperatives and prepositions used in the
sentences.

I will also give everyone a sad and happy face card.

As soon as the group explains their answers, raise
the happy face if they are correct. Raise the sad face
if not.
