*Teacher:* Good morning, class. Today, we're going to focus on the essential principles of grammar.
*Teacher:* Our objective is to understand the fundamental rules of sentence structure, specifically
focusing on subject-verb agreement.
*Teacher:* Let's start by reviewing what constitutes a subject and a verb in a sentence. The subject is the
noun or pronoun that performs the action, while the verb is the action itself.
*Teacher:* Now, let's discuss how subjects and verbs must agree in number. This means that singular
subjects must have singular verbs, and plural subjects must have plural verbs.
*Teacher:* As we go through examples together, I want you to pay close attention to how the subject and
verb work together to form a grammatically correct sentence.
*Teacher:* We'll also explore common exceptions and irregular verbs that may not follow the standard
subject-verb agreement rules.
*Teacher:* Throughout our lesson, I encourage you to actively participate by identifying subjects and
verbs in sentences and correcting any errors you spot.
*Teacher:* Finally, we'll conclude the lesson by practicing what we've learned through a series of
exercises and activities. This will help reinforce your understanding of subject-verb agreement and ensure
you can apply it correctly in your writing.
*Chloei* Ma'am explained the lessons very well, but found it hard to catch up because it is so fast.
**Ynaru** What topic do you find difficult to understand, I will ask the teacher to clarify?
**Chloei** I just don’t get how you find the subject in the sentence, can you ask her for me, I’m shy po.
*Teacher:* Before we move on, are there any questions about today's topic?
(Raise hand)
1. *Find the Verb*: The verb indicates what the subject is doing or what is happening in the sentence.
2. *Ask "Who?" or "What?"*: Ask yourself who or what is performing the action described by the verb.
3. *Locate the Noun or Pronoun*: The subject of the sentence is typically a noun or pronoun. Look for the
word that answers the question "Who?" or "What?" before the verb.
4. *Consider the Subject-Verb Agreement*: Ensure that the subject and verb agree in number. If the
subject is singular, the verb should be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb should be plural.
**Teacher** For example, the cat is eating the fish. Now you try, bernadette. Sit down, Jasmine.
**Teacher** Huh? Class, haven’t I already explained the topic yet you still can construct a sentence
properly. Next francis.
*Francis* Yea, but how can i do complex sentences, Ma'am only taught us the basics. But I guess, it is
for another time. (whispers)
*Teacher* "Are there any more questions regarding our topic for today?"
*Teacher* Okay, now that we are done we will have an assessment next meeting about constructing
sentences with correct subject-verb agreement. See you tomorrow.
**Chloei** I still don’t get the topic for today, so how am I going to answer the assessment if I still don’t
know how to do it properly…
**Ynaru** We can ask lenard about it, it seems that he knows the topic.
*Allena* The discussion was way too fast for me to catch up, and I can't keep up... what do I do?" */sighs
*Bell rang, indicating that the class is already finished for the day*
