What is It

Take note of the following underlined words in the sentences above.

A B C
cooks cooked will cook
sets set will set
washes washed will wash
buys bought will buy
prepares prepared will prepare

● The words in set A are examples of verbs in the simple present


form.
● The words in set B are examples of verbs in the simple past
form.
● The words in set C are examples of verbs in the simple future
form. Notice how will is added to the base form of the verb.

Verbs have different forms to show the simple present, simple past, and
simple future tense of a sentence.

1. Simple present form expresses actions that are done regularly. It is


also used to tell general truth or facts.

To use the simple present form of the verb, you need to note whether the
subject is singular or plural.
▪ When the subject of the sentence is singular, add -s or -es to the
base form of the verb.
▪ When the subject of the sentence is plural, use the base form for the
verb.

Examples:

1. Mary goes with her friends to pick up colorful stones in the river
every Saturday afternoon.
⮚ In this sentence, the subject is Mary which is singular. The verb
used is goes which is the singular form of the verb go.

2. The girls attend their baking class twice a week.


⮚ In this sentence, the subject is girls which is plural. The verb
used is attend which is the base form of the verb.

5 CO_Q4_English 6_ Module 1
2. Simple past form of the verb is used to express past actions. Time
expressions like yesterday, a year ago, last night, etc. can be used to show
definite past time actions.

Here are the rules in forming the simple past:


• Regular verbs form the past by adding d or ed to the base form of
the verb whether the subject is singular or plural.

Example:
1. The girl attended her baking class a week ago.
⮚ In this sentence, the subject is girl which is singular. The verb
used is attended which is in past form.

2. The girls attended their baking class a week ago.


⮚ In this sentence, the subject is girls which is plural. The verb
used is also attended which is in past form.

 Most irregular verbs have different spellings in the past form.


Study the list given in the next pages.
 A few verbs have the same past form as their base form.
Remember the following examples.

Base form Simple Past


beat beat
bet bet
cost cost
cut cut
hit hit
hurt hurt
let let
put put
shut shut

Example:
1. Mary went with her friends to pick up colorful stones in the river
yesterday afternoon.
2. The girls thought of sorting out the stones according to colors.
3. They took some that have shades of green, red and white.

3. Simple future form of the verb is used to express actions to be done


sometime in the future. It is formed using will/shall + base form of the verb
whether the subject is singular or plural.
Examples:
1. Mary will go with her friends to pick up colorful stones in the river
tomorrow afternoon.
 In this sentence, the subject is Mary which is singular. The
verb used is will go.
2. The girls will attend their baking class next week.
⮚ In this sentence, the subject is girls which is plural. The verb
used is will attend.

What I Have Learned

Verbs have different forms: present, past, or future form. Specific verb
forms signal whether the action is in the simple present, simple past, or simple
future tense.

Simple present tense talks about actions that are done regularly. This
tense may also be used to talk about general truths or facts.
The simple present form of the verb depends on whether the subject is
singular or plural.
1. Add -s or -es to the base form of the verb if the subject of the
sentence is a singular person, place, or thing.
2. Use the base form of the verb if the subject is plural.

Use the base form + s or es for singular subjects or for singular pronouns
like he, she, and it. Use the base form of the verb for subject pronouns I, you,
we and they.

Simple past tense tells about actions completed at a definite time in the
past. Time markers like yesterday, ago, or last are used to signal the past event.
Regular and irregular verbs differ in their past forms.
1. Add -d or -ed after the base form of regular verbs.
2. Change the spelling of irregular verbs.

Note verbs that have the same present and past forms.

There is no pattern to follow in forming the past form of irregular verbs.


Both regular and irregular verbs in the past tense can be used regardless of the
number of subjects of the sentences.

Simple future tense is used to talk about actions that are still to be done
or performed. Use will or shall before the main verb to signal future tense.

What I Can Do

Activity 1
Directions: Compose clear and coherent sentences by using the correct form of
each verb inside the parentheses. Write the sentences on your answer
sheet.

1. The school (hold) a PTA general assembly every end of the quarter.
2. The PTA president (talk) with the principal yesterday about joining the
community clean up drive.
3. Mr. Cruz (pledge) to donate money for coastal clean-up a week ago.
4. The pupils (start) to bring brooms and other cleaning materials next
week.
5. Surely, the pupils (enjoy) the upcoming activities (and, but)

Activity 2
Directions: Choose the most appropriate form of the verb inside the
parentheses to complete the sentence. Write your answer on your
answer sheet.

Mia, Jazy and I (live, lives, lived, will live) near each other. We (knows, know, will know) each other so
well. We do have different interests, likes and dislikes. Mia (loves, love, will love) to take care of pets
but I don’t really like animals. Instead, I enjoy growing ornamental plants. Jazy neither likes any of the
hobbies I and Mia love to do. She (finds, found, will find) so much fun in reading and writing.

I guess, she must be the smartest among us three especially in class performance. Although we don’t
seem to have a lot in common, we still remain supportive of each other. Indeed, friendship (means,
meant, will mean) so much for us three.

2 Sentences Using the Perfect Tenses
of Verbs

Good job! You are awesome. Let’s now move on to the next part.

13 CO_Q3_English4_ Module4
What’s New

Have you gone to a place which captured your interest? Come, let’s visit
Antique and explore the beauty of Aningalan.

Aningalan in San Remigio is known as


the summer capital of Antique. Many people
who have gone there admire its peaceful
atmosphere. Vanessa and her friends have
visited the place as well. They have
explored Igbaclag Cave for almost an hour.
It is famous for its beautiful rock formation.
A tourist guide has accompanied them
since the first day of their tour. They loved
the scenic beauty
of the mountains which seemed to meet the blue skies. What they enjoyed most was
the cool climate of the place. When they had left for the city, they realized the value
and importance of nature. They promised themselves that by summer next year,
they will have returned to the place together with their families.

What is It

Now, read again the paragraph above and take note of the following phrases.
 have gone
 have visited
 have explored
 has accompanied
 had left
 will have returned

The phrases used above are examples of Perfect Tenses of Verbs. Perfect
Tenses of verbs are of three kinds.

I. The Present Perfect Tense is made up of has/have plus the past participle form
of the verb.
A. Has + past participle form of the verb is used when the subject is singular.

Examples:
1. A tourist guide has accompanied them since the first day of their tour.
2. Sheila has worked as a nurse for a year now.

14 CO_Q3_English4_ Module4
B. Have + past participle form of the verb is used when the subject is plural. It
is also used when the subject is I or You.
Examples:
1. They have explored Igbaclag Cave for almost an hour.
2. Sheila and Maricel have worked as nurses since 2015.
3. I have practiced my profession as a nurse for a year now.
4. You have worked as a nurse since 2015.

In present perfect tense, we refer to an action or state that happened or


occurred at an indefinite time in the past or something that began in the past and
continued up to the present. With present perfect tense, we also use the expressions
for and since. For is used to express the duration of the action and since is used
to indicate the starting point of the action.

II. The Past Perfect Tense indicates an action that had already happened at
some point in the past (which is expressed through the past perfect form of the verb)
before another action took place (that is expressed in simple past form of the verb).
It also refers to actions that were completed before certain or specific time in the
past. The Past Perfect Tense is formed by using the past tense of “to have” which is
had + past participle form of the verb. This is applicable for either singular or
plural subject.
Examples:
1. When they had left for the city, they realized the value and importance of
nature.
2. Sheila had worked as a nurse before she went abroad.
3. After Sheila and Maricel had passed the nursing licensure examination, they
applied for work.
4. I had worked as a nurse when the COVID 19 pandemic started.
5. You had worked as a nurse before I met you.

In the past perfect tense, the expressions before, after and when are used.

III. The Future Perfect Tense is a verb tense used with an action that will be
completed sometime in the future before another future action will take place or
before a specified point in the future. It is formed by using will/shall have + the
past participle form of the verb with either singular or plural subject.

Examples:
1. By next year, they will have returned to the place together with
their families.
2. Sheila will have worked as a nurse here before she goes abroad.
3. Sheila and Maricel shall have worked as nurses by the end of next year.
4. I will have worked as a nurse by the time my father retires from work.
5. You shall have worked as a nurse by then.

In the Future Perfect Tense expressions like before, by, by the time,
by then and by the end of are used.

What I Have Learned


Wow! Give yourself a big clap for doing your best. Now that you are almost
done with your module, review what you have learned.
There are three perfect tenses of the verb. These are Present Perfect Tense,
Past Perfect Tense and Future Perfect Tense.

16 CO_Q3_English4_ Module4
The Present Perfect Tense of the verb is formed by using has/have + the past
participle form of the verb.
a. Has + past participle form of the verb is used when the subject is singular.
b. Have + past participle form of the verb is used when the subject is plural.

The Past Perfect Tense of the verb is formed by using had + past participle
form of the verb which is used for both singular and plural subject.
The Future Perfect Tense is formed by using will have/shall have plus the
past participle form of the verb for either singular or plural subject.

What I Can Do

Come up with a clear and coherent sentence by choosing the correct perfect
tense of the verb. Write the letter of the correct answer on your answer sheet.

But how much do you already know about progressive tenses?

A progressive tense is used to describe ongoing action. It shows action


happening at the time when they are being mentioned.

20 CO_Q4_English6_Module3
Just like simple tenses and perfect tenses, verbs in Progressive form also
have three tenses. They are Past Progressive Tense, Present Progressive tense and
Future Progressive Tense.

Present Progressive Tense

The present progressive tense shows an action which is happening at the


moment of speaking and writing.
- It uses time expressions such as at this time, presently, now, right now, at
this moment, and currently.
- Sentences with verbs in the present progressive tense can be formed in
these ways:
For first person singular subject I + am+ verb-ing (studying)
For third person singular subject He/She/It + is+ verb-ing (walking)
For plural subject including second We/You/They +are+ verb-ing (dancing)
person singular subject

Examples:
a. I am writing on the board right now.
b. Maria Fe is writing on the board now.
c. Maria Fe and Imee are writing on the board now.

Past Progressive Tense

The past progressive tense shows:


1. an action which was occurring in the past when another past
action happened.
It uses the time expressions while, when, as and before.
Examples:
a. I was writing on the board when our teacher came.
b. While our teacher was preparing the board, we entered the room.

2. actions happening at the same time in the past


Examples:
1. As our teacher was explaining, we were taking notes.
2. While we were taking notes, our teacher was encouraging us to ask
questions.

The Past Progressive tense can be formed this way:


For singular subject Subject + was + verb-ing (was studying)
For plural subject Subject + were + verb -ing (were studying)

21 CO_Q4_English6_Module3
Future Progressive Tense.
The future progressive tense shows an action that will continue to happen in
the future.

- It uses the time expressions such as later, when, this afternoon, this time
tomorrow, soon, in, on, at, next week, etc.
- It is formed using this format:
For singular or plural subject Subject + will/shall+be+ verb-ing
(will be presenting)
Examples:
1. I will be writing on the board later.
2. Maria Fe will be writing a letter for her friend tomorrow.
3. This time tomorrow, Maria Fe and Imee will be presenting their
research to the teachers.

Here is a list of verbs in progressive tenses.

Home Alone
By Ma. Melanie L. Padohinog

Melisa is a wise and an intelligent child. She knows the difference between good and bad. In
school or at home, she shows how witty she is. One night, she was left alone at home.

“Melisa, your Mom and I will attend a church meeting. Take care of yourself. We already locked
all the doors and windows for your safety. Remember never to open the door when someone
knocks or you will be in trouble, okay? We will be coming home late for the meeting will take
long,” said his Dad.

“Okay, Dad. Take care, Dad. Take care, Mom. I’ll just wait for you to come home,” answered
Melisa.

She was enjoying watching TV when she heard a knock at the door. She hurriedly went to open
the door and see who was in there when she remembered her parents’ reminder, “Never open
the door when someone knocks or you will be

28 CO_Q4_English 6_ Module 4
in trouble”. She was feeling uneasy so, she immediately called her parents over
the phone and told them that someone was at the door.
“Just calm down. I’ll call your Uncle Rey to peek out of his window and see
who is knocking at our door,” her Dad said. Uncle Rey is her Dad’s brother who
lives just beside their house.
“Thank you, Dad,” Melisa said calmly.

“Melisa! Melisa! It’s Uncle Rey. Will you please open the door?” Melisa
heard her Uncle Rey calling for her.

When Melisa opened the door, Uncle Rey was standing there together
with a man the same age as her Dad.

“Come in, Uncle. Come in, Sir. Good evening,” Melisa said politely.

“Good evening, Melisa, and thank you. Melisa, I want you to meet your
Uncle Anthony, our cousin from Manila. He came directly from the airport. He
does not know anyone nor other relatives to spend the night with other than us.
That is why he is here at this hour,” Uncle Rey said.
“I’m sorry, Melisa, for scaring you. You are a smart child and I admire you
for acting responsibly to situations like this. I know that your parents taught you
well,” said Uncle Anthony.

“I’m sorry, too, Uncle, for not opening our door to you and thank you for
understanding,” Melisa said shyly.
“Come, Uncle Rey and Uncle Anthony. Have a seat first. I’ll just get
something for you to eat. I’m sure Dad will be very happy to see you,” Melisa
added.
Uncle Rey and Uncle Anthony chatted while waiting for Melisa’s parents
to come home.

Sad but Happy


By Ma. Melanie L. Padohinog

time with my brother and me.

One night, while we were enjoying our dinner, Dad’s phone rang. His
Senior Officer was on the other line.

“Hello, Patrolman Dela Cruz. I am sorry to interrupt your quality time
with your family. You need to go back to the station because the Chief of Police
will come to visit our place. Your presence is badly needed,” he said.

“Okay, sir. I’ll be going back tomorrow early in the morning, sir,” my Dad
replied.

“Joan, Joe, I’m so sorry. Dad will go back tomorrow. Please try to
understand the nature of my job. I have nothing to do but to obey what is
commanded of me,” Dad said sadly.

“It’s alright, Dad. Don’t worry. We understand. We also want to spend


much longer time with you, however, your call of duty is needed,” Joan said
with a heavy heart.

Dad, we know that you also want to spend a longer time with us, but we
also know that you are not our property anymore. You are owned by our
government,” Joe said with teary eyes.

“Thank you for understanding, my children. If only I could give more of


my time with you, I really would. Even though Dad is away, remember that you
are the only ones I think of. You are always in my heart and in my mind. I love
you so much,” Dad said lovingly.

“Don’t worry about our children, Dad. I will take care of them for you. Just
always take extra care of yourself while you are away,” said Mom.

“Joan and Joe, come. Let’s give Daddy a big hug and a sweet kiss on his
cheek,” Mom added.

We are sad that Dad could not spend his whole time with us but we are
also happy at the same time proud for having a Dad like him.

What’s New

Learning about all kinds of adverbs introduces how different adverbs


describe a verb, an adjective or another adverb. However, before we proceed to
our lesson about adverbs, let us first read the story below. Then answer the
comprehension questions in the worksheet provided to show your understanding
of the story.

IS IT GOOD TO BE PROUD? WHY OR WHY NOT?

There was once a King who ruled harshly over the land. One night
after he was crowned as king, he thought of himself as the greatest king on
earth and in heaven.

He often went hunting. One early morning, while in the deep woods,
he decided to cool himself in the lake. He proudly swam away from the
shore. Suddenly there came from the bottom of the lake someone who had
the same face and form as the king. This man quickly put on the King’s
clothes and rode away with the King’s horse. When the proud King finished
cooling himself, he found his clothes and his horse already gone.

With some woven reeds covering his body, he walked to the castle.
He beat loudly at the gate, but he was driven away. He went to the Duke’s
hall, but he was put to prison. Working hard he loosened the chains that
bound his feet and fled away. He went to his palace, but no one recognized
him. Instead he was beaten up and was thrown outside the palace.

The proud King fled away. He wished he was dead. Reaching the lake
where he had bathed, he cried aloud. He asked for forgiveness.

What is It

You have already learned about adverbs that tell how, when and where
actions take place. As you may recall, they are called adverbs of manner, time
and place. Aside from these, there are still other kinds of adverbs that you need
to know.

Are you ready to discover what they are? Please read on and find out.

You learned that adverbs are words that modify an adjective, a verb or
another adverb. There are different kinds of adverb. These are adverbs of
manner, time, place, frequency, degree or intensity, affirmation or negation.

In this lesson, we are going to focus on the following adverbs:

Adverbs of Frequency – tell “how often” something takes place. Some


examples are usually, always, rarely, never, regularly, sometimes, seldom, often,
etc.

1. We seldom go to church after the lockdown.


2. Mother sometimes attends mass in the television.
3. My family always prays the rosary before going to bed.

Adverbs of Degree – tell “how much” or “to what extent”. Some examples
are very, completely, hardly, little, quite, almost, etc.

1. Grandmother can hardly see without her eyeglasses.


2. She almost bumped on a tricycle when she went out on the street one
day.
3. Erika feels a little worried about grandmother.

Adverbs of Affirmation or Negation – tell if an action or characteristic is


true or false. Some examples are really, sure, surely, undoubtedly, yes, certainly
for affirmation and nothing, nowhere, never, no, not or words ending in n’t for
negation.

1. Public officials should not engage in illegal activities.


2. Their constituents will surely lose their trust if they do so.
3. They have to make sure that nothing could stain their reputation.
Adverbs are positioned according to their type. Some adverbs may come
before the word they modify; sometimes, they are placed after the word they
modify.

Now that you have learned about the different kinds of adverb, I hope you
are now ready to face some more challenging activities that lie ahead.

Now get ready because it’s time for a new lesson!

58 CO_Q4_English 6_ Module 7
What’s New

Have you ever dreamed of traveling? I bet you have! Most people like
visiting tourist destinations alone or with their loved ones.
Read the paragraph below and find out why we Filipinos need to “Choose
Philippines.”

Choose Philippines, Pick Your Province!

I wonder, do you really have to go far for a perfect getaway? I believe


you don’t have to and I’m sure you’ll agree with me.

Traveling is one way of freeing ourselves from stress. It is also a


perfect moment to spend time with our loved ones and make unforgettable
memories with them. However this year, most people cancelled their
overseas vacations due to Covid-19 restrictions. Many are saddened. But
do they really have to? First, the Philippines has more than 7000 islands
with countless beautiful tourist attractions to choose from. Every part of
the country is extra special, from the amazing islands of Batanes in Luzon,
down to the lovely white sand beaches of the Visayas, and the beautiful
landscapes of Mindanao. Second, all provinces have their own tourist spots.
Surely, your place, too, has hidden wonders waiting to be discovered. We
can explore our own provinces first before we travel far. Finally, this health
crisis has taken over the tourism industry and has affected the livelihoods
of the people who are depending on it. It’s time to bounce back and support
the local tourism industry.

To sum up, the Philippines has numerous travel destinations to offer


and many of them are even known worldwide. Make our country your
primary choice. The many international travel restrictions during the
pandemic are perfect reminders for us to look closer to home and enjoy our
country’s God-given wonders of nature!

Guide Questions:

1. What is the paragraph about?


2. According to the passage, why do Filipinos need to choose Philippines?
3. How many reasons or justifications are presented in the body of the
persuasive essay?
4. How is the conclusion done?
5. What makes the passage convincing? If you were to add supporting
details to make the essay more convincing, what information would
you add?

59 CO_Q4_English 6_ Module 7
What is It

Persuasive essay intends to convince readers to believe a certain idea or


point.
In writing a persuasive essay, you must express your opinion clearly and
strongly, and support it with details such as examples and additional
information.

There are steps to follow in writing a persuasive essay:


Step 1: Choose a topic
Choose a topic near to your heart. This will make the process of writing
enjoyable. Pick the side you believe in and do a research to support your point of
view.
Here are examples of persuasive essay topics:
 Should wearing of school uniforms be required?
 Should softdrinks be sold in the school canteen?
 Should we punish tourists who litter and vandalize scenic spots?
 Should island barangays limit the number of tourists in their area?

Step 2: Write an introduction


Start your opening paragraph with a catchy sentence. You may insert
related quote or facts to draw attention. Present your argument in a way that
your readers will keep reading your essay.

I wonder. Do you really have to go far for a perfect getaway? I believe you
don’t have to and I’m sure you’ll agree with me.

Step 3: Write the Body


Present reasons and justifications to support your point. Use convincing
words and phrases such as the following:

 I am certain that…
 I believe that…
 I’m sure…/Surely…
 I am certain…/Certainly…
 What needs to be done/what we need to do… (to recommend a
course of action)

Avoid the following phrases because they do not convey confidence in your
ideas or opinions.
 I think…
 It seems that…
 Perhaps…
 I guess…
