Group activity:

The students will be divided in to four; each group will be given pieces of paper with words written

finish the task given to you. Now let’s discuss
your answers. Anybody who can tell me what
he/she notices with the following sentences?”
e. Discussion
“Very good observation! Now, let me introduce
you the four types of sentences. Would someone
read this sentence for me?”
“Thanks. Now, let’s take a look at the sentence
that group 1 came up with. This one is a
declarative sentence. Could you tell me the reason
why it’s classified as declarative?”
“Very good. Well said. Now, can somebody give
me an example of a declarative sentence?”
“Nice answers! Now let’s talk about the second
type of sentence. Would someone read the
(Students will give their answers)
(Student will volunteer to read the first
sentence: “A declarative sentence states a fact
or opinion and ends with a period.)

idea and it states a fact. It also ends with a
period)
(Students answer)

“Nice one and could you give me an example as (The student will give an example.)

“Very good! It’s easy to understand, right? “Yes, Ma’am!”
Remember that an interrogative sentence ends
with a question mark. The sentence that group 2
came up with is an example of it! Did you get it?”
I also want to remind you that you have to read an “Yes, Ma’am!”
interrogative I also want to remind you that you
have to read an interrogative sentence well.
You have to sound like you’re really asking a
question. Don’t just read it as if it’s a declarative
sentence so you won’t be misunderstood when
someone listens to you.”
“That is wonderful! So let’s proceed to the next “An imperative sentence expresses a request or

sound like you’re really asking a question. Don’t
just read it as if it’s a declarative sentence so you

somebody explain the class why?”
“You got it! Perfect! Now, I want you class to give (students volunteer to give their answers)
me an example of an imperative sentence that
gives an order or direction.”
“Oh! Well done! So, what about an imperative (students volunteer to give their answers)
sentence that expresses a request?”
