For the Facilitator:

Welcome to English 1 Self-Learning Module on Telling Sentences!

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this

3. The flowers are colorful.
4. Our school is far.
5. My pencil is long.

These are called sentences.

What is a sentence?
A sentence is a group of words which expresses a
complete thought. It contains a subject and a
predicate and it gives a statement, question or
command.
What did you observe about these sentences?
It begins with a capital letter and ends with a
period.
What else?
These sentences tell about something.

Today, we are going to talk about telling sentences.

What are telling sentences?
A telling sentence begins with a capital letter and
ends with a period (.). It tells about a person, a place, a
thing, an animal and also an event. Telling sentences
are also known as Declarative Sentences.

8
One example is:

Boracay is a beautiful
place.

https://www.google.com/search?q=BORACAY+cartoon+images&tbm=i
sch&ved=2ahUKEwiIgty7wLDqAhXTwIsBHfndBt4Q2-

Have you visited Boracay before?

The sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with

a period.

The sentence simply tells us about something. It tells us

about Boracay.

How is Boracay being described in the sentence?

Boracay is a beautiful place.

What can you say about the sentence?

It expresses a whole idea which has a subject and
a predicate.

9
 In the sentence, Boracay is the subject or what the
sentence is about, and is a beautiful place is the
predicate or what the subject does or is. This sentence
is an example of a telling sentence.

Remember that a telling sentence tells about

somebody or something.

Here are other examples of telling sentences:

1. I drink eight glasses of water a day.
