we had last meeting. Anyone?” Ma’am me had discussed about adverbs!
(Call student 1)

“Adverbs. Very good!” What about
an adverb?
“How about kinds of adverbs?” Can

An adverb is a part of speech that provides greater

lesson. Is everybody ready?”

6. Motivation
“Before we dive into our new
discussion. I have here video clip
that is quietly relevant for today’s
topic. Please take some time to
watch.”

(Plays video from the internet.

Youtube video entitled “Touch
Your Eyes. Sit down)

Here is the guided question after

viewing the video.
1. Based on the song lyrics above,
what are the words that
expresses commands?
B. Lesson Proper
After viewing the video, we know that
sentences always generate meaning
and have different purposes. Basically,
there are four kinds of sentences:
declarative, interrogative, imperative
and exclamatory. But for today, we will
focus on imperative.

“By the way, what is imperative (Student 1 comply)

sentence? Have you any idea?” Imperative sentence is a group of words which
(Call student 1) expresses complete thought in a form of command
as well as requests.

“Very good! We use imperative for

different reasons, such as telling
people what to do, giving instructions
and advice, making recommendations
and suggestions, and for making offers.
This usually ends with a period.

“We often use imperative form in

giving instructions or when someone
tells you how to do something. There
are sequencing words to show the
steps in process. For example, “firstly”,
“secondly” and “lastly.”

Example: Firstly, turn of the electricity

Secondly, remove the light bulb, then,
screw in the new light bulb. Finally,
turn the electricity on and switch on
the light.

“Can you give me examples of giving (Student 2 comply)

instructions?” This is my example sentence ma’am. This shows the
(Call student 2 to answer) steps in baking a cake. First, beat the eggs, second,
combine butter and sugar. Third, stir together and
preheat the oven. Finally, pour batter into pans and
bake.

“Great job”!
“Next, we have here commands. This is
more straight forwarded one than
giving instructions. This is used when
giving order, warning or a piece of
advice. Be extra careful when using
this, because it might sound rude.” To
form a sentence using this, just use the
base form of the verb without “to” and
use no subject.

Example: Get on the plane!

Come to me!
Give me a glass of water.

“Now its your turn to give some

examples”
Put the water in the fridge.
Wear your facemasks!
Don’t be late.

“Lastly, we have request. Request

possesses a factor of more respect.
This imperative is commonly used for
elders but it is more appreciated if it is
also used to command listener
younger than the speaker.

Example: Please bring the books here.

Kindly pick up the pieces of paper
under your chair.

“Please give me example sentences “Would you mind if I share seat with you?”
using request form.” “Please lend me your books.”

“Very good!”

“Since we are done talking about the

imperative. We now proceed tackling
about relationships, but before that.
What is the difference between
commands, instructions and request?”
(Call student 1 to answer)
 (Student 1 comply)

When we say commands, it is more straight

forward than instructions. It orders someone to do
something, while instructions are steps needed to
make a particular event happen. While request
expresses the need or desire for something. It is
also an act of asking politely or formally.
“Great job!” Now let’s move on to
relationships. Speaking of
relationships, sentences always
contain ideas which need to be related
to other ideas to form a new and
complete thought. In short, we can
form a new complete idea by
combining two or more ideas.”

“These words are called

PREPOSITIONS. They denote different
relationships, commonly used to
express relationships between noun or
pronouns or other words in the
sentence. In some cases, they can
express more than one relationship.”

“What is preposition?”
A preposition is a word which is placed
before a noun or a pronoun to show its
relation with someone else in the
sentence.

“These prepositions are used to

express these following relationships:

1. Place or position
 At, by, over, from, near,
around, among, in front, in
the back, on top of,
beneath, to, up, on,
against, under, beside

Examples: I want to travel around

the world.
Rico put his favorite shoes on top
of the cabinet.
Ophelia is hiding in her
 grandparents’ house.

2. Direction
 Toward, into, by way of,
from out of, to, along

Examples: My mother and I went

to the market.
Andrew had walked for 30minutes
from their house.

3. Manner
 Through, by, with

Examples: I can release my

feelings through writing
poems.

4. Time
 At, by, in, before, until,
during, at the end of, in
the middle, at the
beginning of, since, after

Examples: I am a Boy Scout

member since 1998.
We will have our warm-up
exercises before the discussion
of the topic.

*Note: At= used for specific time

On= for days and date
In= for non-specific time

C. Post Activity
1. Generalization
“So now class, do you all
understand the relationship
between imperatives and
prepositions. “

“Again, what are the uses of
imperative sentences?”
“Yes, very good! Imperative
“Ma’am the primary uses of imperative sentences
are used to issue commands, instructions and make
a request or offer advice. Basically, they tell people
what to do.
sentences usually end with a
period but can occasionally end
with an exclamation point. These
sentences are sometimes referred
to as directives because they
provide direction to whoever is
being addressed.

“How about prepositions? What
do they express to?”
“Very good! Can you give me
example words that expresses
the preposition of time?
(Call student 1 to answer)
Ma’am it gives position in space, it tells you where
an object is in relation to another object. It plays an
important role in carrying out instructions as they
relate a noun or a pronoun to another word or
element in sentence. They are commonly used to
express place, direction, time or manner.
(Student 1 comply)
At, by, in, before, until.

“How about preposition of (Student 2 comply)

place?”

“How about preposition of

direction?” (Student 4 comply)
