Activity 1
Simon Says. Play "Simon Says" to practice commands. Call out a command, for

C. Lesson Proper
The teacher will ask the learners about their observations on the activity.
Afterwards, the teacher will show the learners the instructions given to them on the
activity.
The teacher will again ask the students about their observation based on the
sentences.
From this, the teacher will introduce the lesson for the day, which is imperative
sentences.
Imperative sentence
The imperative is a type of sentence that gives
advice or instructions that expresses request or
command. It typically begins with the base form
of a verb.
The teacher will ask the students an example of imperative sentences used in their
Mathematics class. The learners will take turns in stating the steps on how to solve
fractions.
The teacher will also discuss the forms of imperative verbs, affirmative and
negative.
POSITIVE NEGATIVE
base form do + not + base form
Activity 2. Let’s Play.
The class will be divided into three groups and shall have 5 representatives for each
group.
There will be 4 settings: HOME, SCHOOL, CHURCH and MALL.
The teacher will show a picture as prompts to practice the use of imperative in different
situations. Say for example the teacher will show a picture of a HAT and the setting is in
the CHURCH, the first representative will construct an imperative sentence based on
the picture considering the given setting, e.g. TAKE OFF YOUR HAT or DO NOT
WEAR YOUR HAT INSIDE. The first group to construct an imperative will earn 2 points.
Students can elaborate as much as they like.
