CONTENT: There are forty-four sound segments in English comprising twenty vowels and
twenty- four consonants.
The production of vowel sounds take place as the air stream flows from the
lungs to the mouth without any obstruction.

monophthongs and diphthongs. The monophthongs are further sub – divided
into short vowels and long vowels.

WORDS:

AND CONNECTION TO
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
CONTENT: Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs, Adjectives

As the body of a person has different works or functions, so a sentence is made
up of different words performing different functions. Each word is named
according to the function it performs in a sentence.
What is a noun?
A noun is a naming word which names people, things, animal, places and ideas
e.g., Ade, boy, man, girl, Bisi, woman, child, chief, king, princess, ant, goat,
London, school, church, beauty, anger, empathy etc.
A girl was looking for her book.
The book is on the table.
3
What is a pronoun?
A pronoun replaces a noun in a sentence to avoid repetition e.g she, he, they,
we, them, us, her, it, you, herself, whom, that, why etc. She is a good student. I
love my dog.
What is an Adjective?
An adjective qualifies a noun, i.e. it tells us more about a noun. E.g beautiful,
ugly, emotional, tall, old, fantastic etc.
Examples:
A beautiful woman.
She is beautiful.
An unkempt hair
What are verbs?
Verbs are words that tell the action of the nouns which are usually the subject
or objects of the sentence. e.g beat, sleep, sing, talk, jump, dance, has, have,
does, may etc. I talk a lot. She dances well.
STRATEGIES AND Activity 1: Students, as a class, highlight nouns, pronouns, verbs and adjectives

LESSON TITLE: Verbs
SUBTITLE: i. Transitive verb ii. Intransitive verb
i) Compare and contrast transitive verbs with intransitive verbs;
ii. Distinguish transitive verbs from intransitive verbs;
iii. Construct sentences using transitive and intransitive verbs.
KEY VOCABULARY Transitive, Intransitive.

WORDS:
7
AND CONNECTION TO
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
CONTENT: Verbs are used to say what people do. They express an action. E.g. laugh, walk,
run, sleep, and take. some verbs do not express an action. They just say people
or things are something. E.g. the verb to be – am, is, are, was, were. Others are
have, has, had, can, will, may, shall etc.
Transitive verb:
Before we discuss transitive verb there is the need to discuss object.
Object: Object is the receiver of the action. It shows somebody or something

involved in the subject. It is what the verb is done to. e.g.
I took the book. (“book” is the object while “I” is the subject-the performer of
the action)
Direct Object: refers to a person or thing affected by the action of the verb.
He opened the door (“door” is the direct object)
Transitive Verbs: they are verbs that take direct object. When a verb has an
object that receives the action of the verb, that verb is transitive. E.g.
1. I sold some books.
2. Ngozi took the pen.
3. I understand her question.
4. The woman slapped the boy because he was rude.
The verbs “sold, took, understand, slap” in the above sentences are transitive
because they take the direct objects “books, bus, question, the boy”
Other examples of transitive verbs are had, broke, sold, bought, love, throw,
develop, kick, eat, see etc.
Intransitive verb: They are verbs that do not take object. So, a verb is intransitive
when it does not have an object after it. E.g.
1. I slept at 7pm yesterday.
2. The students in the class are singing.
3. The pawpaw tree fell this morning.
4. She coughed.
The verbs” slept, singing, fell, coughed” are intransitive because they do not
take verb what we find after the verbs in 1 and 2 are adverbs.
8
Other examples of intransitive verbs are run, cry, rise, live, result, dwell, swim,
improve, sing etc
STRATEGIES AND Activity 1: Students, as a class, compare and contrast transitive and intransitive
ACTIVITIES: verbs.
Activity 2: Students, in pairs, construct sentences using transitive and

intransitive verbs.
ASSESSMENT i) Compare and contrast transitive verbs with intransitive verbs;

(EVALUATION):
ii. Distinguish transitive verbs from intransitive verbs;
iii. Construct sentences using transitive and intransitive verbs.

2. Give five (5) examples of intransitive verb and make sentences with two of
them.

KEY VOCABULARY Active, Passive.

WORDS:

AND CONNECTION TO
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
CONTENT: ACTIVE VERBS
An active sentence is one in which the subject performs an action or does

something. In this case, the sentence follows the normal order of the subject,
verb and object or subject and predicate.
Examples:
Bola\ kicked\ the ball.
Tunde \visits\ a doctor\ every month.
I\ ate \yam\ yesterday.
The children\ are playing\. Football.
16
All the sentences above are in the active voice.
A passive sentence is realized when the object takes the position of the
subject, i.e when the object is mentioned first before the subject.
Often times, passive sentences are used:
When we do not know the subject or performer of the action, e.g. The book
was stolen yesterday.
When the subject is not that important:
Examples:
The rice is then boiled for twenty-five minutes.
—— When the performer/subject is known by everybody.
Examples of passive sentences are:
A song was composed by Tayo
The students were flogged by the teacher
Changing Active Sentences to Passive Ones.
To do this, some changes take place:
1. The active object becomes a passive subject
2. The active subject becomes agentive adverbial introduced with the

preposition ‘by’
3. An appropriate form of auxiliary ‘BE’ is introduced before the main

verb
STRATEGIES AND Activity 1: Students, in small groups, work together to compare and contrast
ACTIVITIES: active and passive voice
Activity 2: Students, in pairs, construct sentences using active and passive

voice.

CONTENT: Composition is also known as continuous writing which involves the use of a lot
of sentences to express an idea, one’s opinion or explain a concept.
A composition has a beginning, middle and an end. These parts have specific
names- the introduction, the body and the conclusion.
18
Elements of Composition
Elements of composition are the features or characteristics that make up the

composition; they are divided into 3 parts which are: (i) The introduction (ii) The
body (iii) The conclusion
• Introduction: is the opening paragraph or the beginning of your

composition. An introduction has two important jobs. First, it should
capture the reader’s interest and tell what the entire composition is
about. This helps the writer focus on the main point. It provides the
central idea that all other ideas in the composition must relate to
closely.
• Body: Is the content of your essay. The content will contain what you
are writing about
• Conclusion: Is the last paragraph or closing paragraph of your essay or

composition
STRATEGIES AND Activity 1: Students, in small groups, brainstorm on pre-writing, writing and
