III. PROCEDURE

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preliminaries

1.) Prayer
Through an audiovisual presentation, (Students will stand up)
we will begin our day with prayer before
we begin our discussion this morning.

2.) Greetings
Good morning, Ma’am!
Good morning my dear students!

3.) Checking of Attendance “I guess everyone are present today,

Ma’am.”
While the class monitors checking the
attendance, kindly pick up the pieces of
paper under your chair. So, we have a
perfect attendance, right class?
Okay, very good!!

4.) Review
“Since, we already taken the Clause
during our Primary and Secondary
School level and I guess everyone are
quite familiar or have enough
knowledge of what Clause is all about.”
“So, let’s have a short reminiscence of
your learning about Clause.”

(The teacher will ask a volunteer in the

class to answer the question otherwise,
“What is Clause in Grammar?”
the teacher will randomly select a
student to answer.)

“A clause is a group of words that has

“Yes, Mr./Ms. __________? “ both a subjective and a predicate.”
“A clause is the basic unit of Grammar. “

“Okay, very good idea! Thank for that

Mr./Ms. _______. “
“So, now! Anyone from the class can
give me the different types of Clauses?”

“Yes, you are recognized Mr./Ms. The different types of Clauses are:
______.”  Independent/Main Clause
 Coordinate Clause
 Relative Clause
 Subordinate Clause
 Noun Clause
 Adverb Clause
“Okay! Very Good! Thank you! Mr./Ms.”

“So, those are the different types of

Clauses and as we go along in this
discussion we will know further their
uses and its importance.”

B. Motivation (Students will listen to the direction of

discussion, I have prepared a small
activity. This will be helpful to fully
understand more of grammar clauses. I the activity).
will divide you into 2 groups, let’s stick
to your sitting arrangement. I will be
giving you 4 strips of paper, then 3
members of each group will give their
small explanations about it.”

Okay, are you ready? Yes, Ma’am! (Chorus)

Let’s begin!
Now that all the papers have been (Students will have their brainstorming

Okay, time is up! First group what is “Dependent clause, Ma’am!” (First
written on your paper? group in chorus)

So, during your high school days, I

know you have encountered this word, (3 students will give their brief

Second group, what about you? What is “Independent clause Ma’am!” (Second
written on your paper? group in chorus)

explanation)

All of your answers are right. I’ am

overwhelmed by your answers, it only
implies that you have knowledge and
are familiar with the topic in which we’re
going to discuss today. Other than that,
we still have other clauses to tackle so
you can be guided.

C. Lesson Proper
Good to know, May I request anyone
here to give a brief definition of
clause? (Students answer yes)

“Very good. Well said. Now let’s

Student answers: A clause is a group

of words that has both a subject and

a predicate.
Types of Basic Grammar Clauses.

Would someone read the six types of

basic grammar for me?

( A Student will volunteer to read

the bullet)
“Now that we already know the 6  Independent/Main Clause,
types of basic grammar clauses next  Coordinate Clause,
we are going to discuss further the  Relative Clause,
independent/main clause  Subordinate Clause,
 Noun Clause
 Adverb Clause.
Independent/ Main Clause is a type of
clause can stand alone and make
sense. There are many different
types of independent clauses, but it’s
important to notice that they all
contain a subject and a verb.
Independent Clause Examples:
- I like to swim.
Now, let’s take a look at the sentence.
This one is an example of independent
clause. Could you tell me the reason
(Student answers: Sir the sentence I like
why it’s classified as independent
to swim is an independent clause
clause?”
because it can stand alone and make
sense.

Excellent!

Next, we have the example

- My sisters are coming over tonight.

Can you identify the subject and verb in

(They raised their hands)
this sentence?

So, what is the subject?

(Someone raises their hand)
My Sisters, Sir

How about the predicate?

Coming Over, Sir

That’s right very good!

Now let’s talk about the second type of

grammar Clause which is the coordinate
clause. Would someone read the
definition presented in the screen?”

A coordinate clause is a separate

idea from an independent/ main
clause, but it is joined to another
clause with a comma and a (Student answers: Ma’am, some
 examples of coordinating
coordinating conjunction. conjunction includes for, and, or but,
yet, so, nor etc.

By the way, can anyone here give some

examples of coordinating conjunction? (Student answers: because this
conjunctions are used to connect
word, clause or phrase.

That’s right, Why do you think the,

for, and, or but, yet, so, nor are
considered as coordinating
conjunction?

Coordinate Clause Examples:

Sleep now or you will miss the class
tomorrow.

Does anyone here know what makes

this clause coordinate? (Someone raises their hand)
I think this clause is a coordinate clause
because of the word or which is a
coordinating conjunction that joins two
clauses together.

“Oh! Well done! Now we are about

to proceed to the third type of clause
which is the relative clause.
(some students answer yes and some
Is anybody here familiar with relative answer no)
clause?

Oh! I could see that some of you are

already familiar with relative clause.
Can somebody here give their
(students volunteer to give their
insights about relative clause?
insights)

Relative clauses are dependent

clauses that give the reader more
information about another noun in
the sentence.
Relative Clause Example
The unicorn possessed magical powers,
which could heal the sick people.
In this sentence, the relative clause
which could heal the sick modifies
the subject, unicorn, by identifying
which magical powers it possessed.

Can somebody give me more

(Student will volunteer to give their
example of relative clause ?
own answer)

Well done! A relative clause is one

kind of dependent clause. It has a
subject and verb, but can’t stand
alone as a sentence. It is sometimes
called an “adjective clause”.

Could you tell me the reason why

it is called adjective clause? (Student answers: Ma’am, because it
functions like an adjective—it gives
more information about a noun.)

“Very good observation! 

So, do you understand class the

Yes, Sir. (Chorus)
concept of relative clause?

Is there any question? No. Sir. (Chorus)

Okay now let us proceed to the next

grammar clause which is the
subordinate clause.
A subordinate clause is a sub-clause
that modifies an independent/ main
clause. A subordinate clause starts
with a subordinating conjunction.
There are seven different types of
subordinating conjunctions, so let’s
talk about each one:
although – shows contrast between (Can I ask a question sir?)
ideas and is interchangeable with “but”
– both can show the contrast between
ideas
because – used to state a reason for
something
before – gives the time period in which
something is done or will happen
(Yes, what is your query?)
(it depends of the sentence structure,
but always remember that there is a
corresponding conjunction)
after – gives the time period in which
something is done or will happen
that – used to introduce a clause that
So, looking that subordinating clause
cannot stand alone and that begins with
usually uses subordinating conjunction,
an “if,” “when,” or “whether”
is there any other modifier?
where – introduces a place where
something happens
if – used to introduce a clause that Oh, okay. Thanks for the info sir!
cannot stand alone and that begins with
an “if”, “when”, or “whether”.

Subordinate Clause Example

Although the weather was bad, we still
went to the park.

What do you think was the subordinate (Student raise their hands)
clause in this statement class?
 “the weather was bad”

That’s right, did you know that

subordinate clause complement a
sentence’s main clause, adding to the
overall unit of meaning.
Okay so now let us proceed to the fifth
type of grammar clause which is the
noun clause.

A noun clause functions as a noun in a

sentence. It follows a linking or copular
verb to describe or modify the subject of
the sentence. Noun clauses contain
both a subject and a verb.
Would anyone give example of a noun
clause?
Okay.
Let us see if it is a noun clause.
Here’s another example (Student volunteers)

You should help your neighbor that is

moving. (give example)
(noun clause – “that is moving”
modifying “neighbor”)

So, do you understand class the

Yes, Sir (Chorus)
concept of noun clause?

Is there any question? No. Sir. (Chorus)

Okay, now let’s proceed to the sixth and

last type of grammar clause in this
discussion which is the adverb clause.

(some students answer yes and some

Is anybody here familiar with adverb
clause? answer no)
An adverb clause is a clause that
works as an adverb in a sentence.

Can anyone here define what is

adverb?
“Very good. Well said (students volunteer to give their answer)
The role of adverb clause is to show the
reader place, time, condition, degree,
and so on, by answering questions like
'where?', 'when?', 'how?', and 'why?'.
In other words, it works in the same way
as a single adverb, except it’s structured
as a clause.

Examples of Adverb Clause:

 I’m the fastest person that you’ll ever
meet.
Can anyone here find the adverb
clause in this statement?
(Student answers:. “that you’ll ever
Excellent that’s right next sentence
meet” Ma’am)
 We are going to the store that is
closest to your house.
Can anyone here find the adverb
clause in this statement? (Student answers: “that is closest to
Very good, Well done! your house”

Now we are done discussing the

different types of grammar clause.

Do you have any questions? Any

(students says no)/(students asks
clarifications?”
questions)

Okay, let’s have some exercises.

Prepare yourselves as we proceed to
our next activity.

Ms.______. In addition, By correctly
using different types of clauses, you can
quickly improve the quality of your
writing as well as your ability to
communicate with an audience.
Clauses help you direct the attention of
the reader so that your sentences are
understood. Proper usage will also help
you avoid dreaded sentence fragments
and run on-sentences. To prevent
punctuation issues, make sure you
know how to properly punctuate
sentences featuring all kinds of clauses.
Review the basic punctuation rules for a
refresher.
