At the backyard,
Off the rim,
Into the net,
Shot the sweaty basketball player.

 What is It

Before we will proceed to discuss the kinds of phrases, let’s read first a
short story entitled “The Man and the Little Cat.”
One day, an old man was having a stroll in the forest when he suddenly
saw a little cat stuck in a hole. The poor animal was struggling to get out. So, he
gave him his hand to get him out. But the cat scratched his hand with fear. The man
pulled his hand screaming with pain. But he did not stop; he tried to give his hand to
the cat again and again. Another man was watching the scene, screamed with
surprised. “Stop helping this cat! He’s going to get himself out of there. The other
man did not care about him, he just continued saving that animal until he finally
succeeded, and then he walked to the man and said. “Son, it is cat’s instincts that
makes him scratch and to hurt, and it is my job to love and care. (Source:
Department of Education “Personality Development” p.82)
The underlined words are phrases. There are different kinds of phrases.
A. Noun phrase
B. Verb phrase
C. Prepositional phrase

A. Noun Phrase

10
 1. Definition
Noun phrase is a phrase that has a noun as its head or performs the same
function as a noun.
Example:
S V Noun Phrase
Lina forgot Bryan’s birthday. In this sentence, the verb is forgot and the
noun phrase is Bryan’s birthday.
2. Functions of a noun phrase
a. As a Subject of a verb
Example: The tall tree fell down in the storm.
In this sentence, the phrase ‘the tall tree’ functions as the subject of the
verb ‘fell’ and it is therefore a noun phrase.
b. As object of a Verb
S V object of the verb
Example: I wish to see the manager.

In this sentence the phrase ‘to see the manager’ functions as the object
of the verb ‘wish’ and it is, therefore, a noun phrase.
Try this!
Copy each sentence. Underline the subject and the verb. Then encircle the
noun phrase. Number 1 is done for you.
1. They brightly decorated the play house.
2. I saw a brown horse at the farm

S verb phrase
2.Victor is not going to the dance.
In sentence #1, the verb phrase is could have worked while in the
second sentence, is going
2. Functions of a Verb Phrase.

(At is the preposition, and at the corner is the prepositional phrase.
The prepositional phrase functions as an adjective phrase, modifying
store.)
2. You can use the broom behind you to sweep the floor.

2 CLAUSES
15
 What Is It

As I sat on the bamboo bench, mother stared at me. She was

nervous upon hearing the news that Governor Philip Tan placed the whole
province of Misamis Occidental under General Community Quarantine due
to COVID- 19 pandemic. Although I am innocent, something bothered me.
Mother felt that way because we have no money to buy for our food. Surely
we will be starving.

The above paragraph contains underlined words. They are called clauses. What is a
clause?
A clause is a group of related words containing a subject and a verb. There are
two types of clauses.
Main or Independent Clause is a clause that expresses a complete thought and can
stand as a sentence

Examples:
As I sat on the bamboo bench, mother stared at me.
She was nervous that Governor Philip Tan placed the whole province of
Misamis Occidental under General Community Quarantine.
Subordinate or Dependent Clause is a clause which does not express a complete
thought and depends on another clause (main clause) to express a complete thought
may function as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb in a sentence.
Examples:
Although I am innocent, something bothered me.
Mother felt that way because we have no money to buy for our food.
 The underlined words are examples of subordinate or dependent clause.

Functions of Subordinate Clauses

16
 Noun Clause is a dependent clause that functions as a noun in a sentence;
performs same function like a noun in sentence; starts with words that, what, whatever,
who, whom, whoever, whomever, where, which, whether
Examples: Whatever you discover will help you in the future.
He knows that he will pass the exam

3. They agreed about where the Wedding venue.
4. The judge asked who had witnessed the incident.
5. Whoever arrives first receives an award.
Adjective Clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adjective in a
sentence; works like adjective in a sentence; modifies (describe) a noun or pronoun and
always precedes the noun it modifies. It usually begins with a relative pronoun which
connects them to the word they describe such as: that, where, when, who, whom,
whose, which and why.
Examples: A guava that smells bad is rotten.
The reference which I like is helpful in preparation for the
test.

17
4. Let’s move early next week. I will not be busy. (when)

clause in terms of time, frequency how often), cause and effect, contrast, condition and
intensity (to what extent). The subordinating conjunctions used for adverb clauses are
as follows:

Lesson SENTENCES
20
 3
What is It

When we speak, we often disregard parts of our sentences. However, when we

write, our words have to deliver the whole message. So, when we organize our thoughts
on paper, we are expected to express them completely. Before we discuss all that can
go into a complete sentence, we must review the definition of a sentence.
A group of words that expresses a complete thought is a sentence. It is
composed of two parts: the subject that can either be a noun or a pronoun, which is
talked about in the sentence, and the predicate that can be a verb or a verb phrase,
which tells about the action or quality of the subject. It begins with a capital letter and
ends with a punctuation mark.
Examples:
Tall trees cover the forest.
Subject Predicate
Aeronautics is the art and science of flight through the air.
Subject Predicate
Do you know the different kinds of sentences according to their structures? Read
the short selection “Fun with Father” and from it, make a listing of all the subject and
predicate parts and analyze how they are combined together.

Fun with Father

21
 An English teacher held a contest. She asked her students to describe what they
like best about their fathers. The winning entry read, “I have so much fun with my father
that I wish I had known him sooner.”
A comment like that would brighten the day of any father who loves his family.
Yet in many homes, the children never really get to know their dad because he doesn’t
take the time to be with them. In the morning, he is either too hurried or too irritable.
After work, he is so tired that he spends the evening snoozing in front of the television.
On Saturdays, he is doing household chores or drinking with his friends. On Sundays,
he is glued to the television watching basketball or boxing. The weeks, months, and
years quickly pass without father ever really getting to know his children.
The wise father, however, provides occasions for just talking, laughing, and
having fun. I remember hearing my dad tells jokes and then laugh harder than anyone
else. I recall the times when he played basketball with me, took me to fishing, or let me
travel with him when he went out of town. I wish we could have spent even more time
together.

Robles and Cecilia B. Corsino, English This Way 6) (2003) pp. 296-297
Take a look at the sentences below that are taken from the given article. Their
subjects are encircled and their predicates are underlined. Where there are more than
one subject and predicate, their connecting words or conjunctions are enclosed in
parentheses.

Simple Sentence: Our English held a contest.

Compound Sentence: My father is funny (but) my mother is

serious in disposition.

Compound-Complex Sentence: My father always had time to play with

they

Based on the sample sentences above, we classify sentences into simple,

compound, complex and compound-complex.
1. A simple sentence has only one pair of subject-predicate but either the subject or
the predicate can sometimes be compound.
Example:
Tina and Jessa have been good friends.
Try this!
Construct three simple sentences about annular eclipse.
2. A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinate
conjunction.
Example:
On Saturdays, Allan usually helps his father cook special dish for
the family or he fixes all the cabinets in the kitchen.

Try combining the following pairs of sentences using the conjunction shown in
parentheses.
1. Animals’ tails are used for communication. They are also used for locomotion.
(and)
2. Robots in most early works were dangerous. In Star Wars, C3PO and R2D2
are friendly. (but)
3. The position in which an animal hold its tail may indicate aggression. The
position may also be an indicator of the animal’s social rank. (or)

3. A complex sentence has two clauses, one of which is a subordinate clause. A

dependent clause cannot make sense by itself because it begins with a subordinate
conjunction.

23
 Example:
When I was young, I used to play ball with my brother.
Choose the correct subordinating conjunction to form a complex sentence.
1. You should keep your tomatoes outside of the fridge, ________ they don’t go
bad. (although, since, so that, after)
2. Exercise is good for you ________it firms your muscles. (even though, so
that, because, before)
3. It is not advisable to drive _______ drinking alcohol. (after, before, in order
that, even though)
4. A compound-complex sentence has three clauses, one of which is a subordinate
clause or a dependent clause that begins with a subordinate conjunction.
Example:
We don’t really feel bad about this situation yet we just wish for something
that all of us may survive our own difficulties in life.

Try to combine the sentences to make one compound-complex sentence.

1. Emma teaches the kids who live in the neighborhood. They meet in the
evenings after she comes home from work.
2. We managed to finish the exercise on time and passed the exam. However, it
was very difficult.
3. The doctor wants to prescribe physical therapy, and he asks me to see a
specialist. He recommends Dr. Valdez.
It is important to observe that in independent clauses of compound sentences
coordinate conjunctions are used to connect words, phrases and clauses of equal rank.
Such conjunctions are: and, or, nor, but and yet. Coordinate-correlative conjunctions
like both...and, not only...but also, either...or, neither...nor and whether...or are also
present. For subordinate clauses of complex sentences, they are introduced by
subordinators or subordinate conjunctions such as because, since, for, though, if,
who, whom, that, which, what, whoever, whichever, whatever, and whose.

24
 In addition to classification by the number and types of clauses it contains, a
sentence may be classified by function as declarative, interrogative, imperative,
or exclamatory.

A declarative sentence states an idea and ends with a period.

Example:
The price of the shirt is five hundred pesos.
The sky is blue.
Now, try completing the sentences with your own word or words to make them
declarative sentences.
1._______________ going home tomorrow.
2. _______________ was a good movie to watch.
3. _______________ is pursuing a course in engineering.

An interrogative sentence asks a question and ends with a question mark.

Example:
Where is the old town hall?
Are you afraid of sharks?
The interrogative sentence follows a definite pattern. Statements with is, are, was, and
were may be changed into questions by exchanging the positions of the subject and the
predicate.
Examples:
1. The boys were present.
Were the boys present?
2. Maria is a student.
Is Maria a student?

Statements indicating present time and using verbs other than (is and are) are changed
into questions by placing does (singular) or do (plural) as the first word to signal the
question.

25
 Examples:
1. Myrna works hard.
Does Myrna work hard?
2. The farmers plant corn.
Do the farmers plant corn?
Statements indicating past time and using verbs other than was and were are changed
into questions by placing did at the beginning to signal the question.
Examples:
1. Gina went home.
Did Gina go home?
Try changing the following statements into questions:
1. Ernie eats the last doughnut.
2. Basketball is Mario’s favorite sport.
3. The dogs crossed the road.
An imperative sentence gives an order or a direction and ends with a period or an
exclamation mark.
Example:
Stop!
Wrap your gift carefully.
Take a look at the given groups of words. Can you arrange them to form
imperatives? Observe capitalization and punctuation.
1. chewing me gum give that
2. worry it about don’t
3. leave your car in don’t the belongings

An exclamatory sentence expresses strong or sudden emotion and ends with

an exclamation mark. The words what and how placed at the beginning of the sentence
are used to signal. What is used to refer to nouns and how is used to refer to adjectives

26
and adverbs. To change a statement into an exclamatory sentence, place the item after
the verb at the beginning and precede it with what or how.
Example:
What a beautiful day it is!
Police, I have been robbed!
How tired I am!
Try to transform the statements into exclamatory sentences below:
Example:
a. She has a pretty dress.
b. What a pretty dress she has!
a. He is strong.
b. How strong he is!
1. Imelda is very intelligent.
2. His voice is pleasing.
3. She is extravagant.
