verbs.
Plural subjects take plural

Oh! Yes, Christine.

Very Good class! So, question? Are

 these clear to you?

Good, those were the rules of subject-

verb agreement.

Generalization:
Singular subject take singular verb.
Plural subject take plural verb.

The verb agrees only to its subject.

Intervening words do not affect the
number of the subject.

Some, all, most and any are singular

when they refer to a quantity. They are
plural when they refer to a number. (one student

Good morning class, before we will proceed to

Now, tell me what are the underlined phrases in

each phrase.

B. Unlocking of Difficulty
In our lesson this afternoon, you may
encounter different phrases which
can give you difficulty in
understanding it. This time, we are
going to study them. They are the
following:
1. Take in – to

the meaning of
2. Take over - to assume

 8. Pull together - to

9. Turn out(something)- to produce

10. Turn in(something)- to
relinquish or give up; to submit;
to hand in

Now, we will use each phrase in sentences. I will

be the one who will first use each, then make
your own sentences. Did you understand?

C. Presentation

Our new lesson this afternoon is all about

idiomatic expression. The underline phrase you have
previously seen in the sentence we have studied this
afternoon, like pass away, run away, take after, look up
to, go on, and some other are examples of idiomatic
expression.

D. Lesson Proper

Now, what is the idiomatic expression or an

idiom? Can you give some other examples of idiomatic
expression? Very good! You know class, an idiom is an
expression peculiar to a language.
 It usually has several associated meanings. Its
meaning cannot be derived from the meanings of its
separate elements. Idioms do not always conform to
the formal rules of grammar. If you use idioms correctly,
you know that you are familiar with a language and are
at home in it. They make your speech or writing natural.

Take the idiomatic expression “ to make friends

with “ make, ordinarily transitive verb, has instead the
value of linking verb( like become) , and friends take on
a plural form because of a reciprocal meaning implicit in
the construction.

A few other idioms which cannot be translated

literally are:

Turn down - reject or refuse

Give in - surrender, agree to

Carry on - continue

Go off - to leave, to
explode

Put out - to put out a fire, to

extinguish

Look up - to search
for and find
 Pass away - to die

Take back - to withdraw, to

restart

Hold out - to after

Bring up - rear or train as a

child

However, you must not conclude that

grammatical English is not idiomatic. Actually much of
grammatical English has an idiomatic set form which
you are obliged to follow, and most idiomatic English is
conventional in its grammar.

A second language learner of English is certain to

find the difference between the meaning of the
separate parts of idiomatic expressions and their
complete meaning confusing. Since the native user of
the language hears the expressions frequently and has
been introduced to them since infancy, he somehow
absorbs them into his nature, their use and meaning
become instinctive with him. The only way to get these
idiomatic expressions correctly is for you to read, speak
and write English frequently.
 Class, any question regarding our lesson this
afternoon? Did you understand it now?

Very good!
