III. Lesson Proper

A. Pretask
1. Introduction
Activity: Previously in Language…
There will be a review of their previous topic. The teacher will ask questions
that the students need to ponder on.
“Going back to our previous discussion, let’s ponder on the following questions.”
a. What did we discuss last meeting? What are the 2 parts of a sentence?
b. How can we classify them into 6?
c. What have you learned from that discussion?

2. Creative Entry Point

Activity: Let’s decode!
Directions: Students are tasked to decode the following numbers. A point will
be given to the first student who will say the correct answer.

20 + 1 + 7 = TAG

17 + 21 + 5 + 19 + 20 + 9 + 15 + 14 + 19 = QUESTIONS

20 + 1 + 7 + 17 + 21 + 5 + 19 + 20 + 9 + 15 + 14 + 19 =
TAG QUESTIONS

Based on your final answer, what do you think is our topic for today?
B. Discussion

Learning the Tag Questions

Tag questions (or question tags) turn a statement into a question. They are
often used for checking information that we think we know is true.

Forming Tag Questions

1. Positive sentence + negative tag

Example: May is here, isn’t she?

Main clause: May is here (positive)
Tag question: isn’t she

Question: How do we know if it’s positive?

Answer: If there is NO negative word like not, never, no, etc.

2. Negative sentence + Positive tag

Example: Cherry doesn’t like coffee, does she?
Main clause: Cherry doesn’t like coffee (negative)
Tag question: does she

3. Use the same helping verb in the question tag followed by the subject pronoun
Example: John was annoyed, wasn’t he?
Helping verb: was Subject pronoun: he (John)
Tag question: wasn’t he

4. For action verbs, tag questions are formed with do/don’t and does/doesn’t
(simple present) and did/didn’t (simple past).

Example: Tom likes fish, doesn’t he?

Action verb: likes
Tag question: doesn’t he

After the discussion, the teacher will task the class to get their whiteboard
for some exercises. They will write their answers on the whiteboard. A point will
be given for every correct answer. The total score will be gathered and recorded.
  How did you find this lesson, everyone?
 Again, what do you need to remember if the sentence is positive? How about
negative clause?
 What have you learned after the discussion?
