students will learn well. Always be guided by the students’ demonstration of learning, which you
can infer from formative assessment activities. Sustain learning systematically by providing
students with multiple ways to learn new things, practice their learning, question their learning
process, and draw conclusions about what they learned in relation to their experiences and
previous knowledge. Indicate the time allotment for each step.

D. ABSTRACTION The teacher will let the students define the subject verb agreement.
What is a subject? (The subject is who or what the sentence is about.)
A compound subject is two or more nouns or pronouns joined with the conjunction and.
Ex.
The students take notes in class.
The teachers and students work hard.
Subject-Verb Agreement Rules
1. When the subject is singular, use a singular verb. Most singular verbs end in –s.
Ex. Julie dances at the party.
2. When the subject is plural, use a plural verb. Plural verbs are NOT formed by
adding –s or –es like plural nouns.
Ex. Julie and Jan dance at the party.
5. Use a plural verb with two or more subjects when they are connected by and.
The dog and the cat fight with each other.
6. Collective nouns are words that imply more than one person but that are
considered singular and take a singular verb, such as: group, team, committee,
class, and family.
Ex. The class works on their homework
7. The words each, each one, either, neither, everyone, everybody, anybody,
anyone, nobody, somebody, someone, and no one are singular and require
a singular verb.
8. Do not be misled by a phrase that comes between the subject and the verb.
The verb agrees with the subject, not with a noun or pronoun in the
phrase.
Ex. The team captain, as well as his players, is anxious.
9. Doesn't is a contraction of does not and should be used only with a singular
subject. Don't is a contraction of do not and should be used only with a
plural subject. The exception to this rule appears in the case of the first
person and second person pronouns I and you. With these pronouns, the
contraction shouldn't be used.
E. APPLICATION Activity 2: By pair. Determine the subject and verb eros in the sentences.
1. Jon, along with the other students, (think, thinks) of pursuing a science career.
3. Hannah is one of the office workers who still (attend, attends) classes.
