Rodelio’s encounter with The Aliens

It was a dark and stormy night. The whole of Villareal’s Village was covered
by dark clouds. Christopher was returning home. It started to pour a heavy rain.

Suddenly he saw a U.F.O. appearing from the clouds above. In no time it landed
on the road. Three aliens came out. Rodelio was astonished as he could
understand their language. Rodelio said, “I am brave, and I understand what

DO_Q3_English3_Module1
you’re talking. Please don’t do that”. Their plan was to take all the trees away
from earth. Not wasting a moment, Rodelio called his friends. Those aliens
pointed out to a tree. It seems that there is a magical thing in their fingers. An
eerie blue light shot out from their hands making a tree vanish. Soon, Rodelio’s
friends arrived. They tried to scare those aliens by throwing stones, but in vain.
They are all scared.

Luckily, Mr. Modelo, the fat inspector of the area arrived. With a frightened
look on his face, he shot at those aliens. One of them pointed his finger at Mr.
Modelo. To everyone’s amazement, Mr. Modelo became as thin as a stick.
Everybody laughed. Suddenly, Anna, Rodelio’s friend, ran towards them,
shouting at the top of her shrill voice. Those aliens got the fright of their lives
and vanished along with their spaceship. The kids were delighted. They had
saved their planet. Mr. Modelo was left fiddling with his pants.

Questions:

1. What happened when Rodelio is on his way home?

2. What did Rodelio saw?
3. What did the Aliens want to do?
4. Who arrived and shot the Aliens?
5. What happen to Mr. Modelo?
6. If you were Rodelio, what would you do?

Lesson 1:
Identifying the be-verbs
Be-verbs are am, are, is, was, and were. They are verbs but do not
show an action. They are Verbs of being. “Be” verbs indicate a state of
being or existence. They don’t give any meaning but they are used to
describe a subject. The be-verbs are followed by a noun or an adjective or an
adverb.
A. Let us study
Subjects (nouns) Present Past
Villareal Village is was
Rodelio is was
trees are were
Aliens are were
Mr. Modelo is was

The subjects used in the story are Villareal Village, Rodelio, trees,
aliens, and Mr. Modelo. The be verbs used are is and are. These verbs are in
the simple present form. We can also use was and were when forming the be
verbs in the simple past tense.
B.
Subjects (pronouns) Present Past
I am was
He/she/It is was
You/we/they are were

Pronouns like I, he, she, it, you, we and they can also be used
as subjects. We use am, is and are when telling simple present tense
and use was and were when telling simple past tense.
