A.Introduction
Class, let’s have an activity entitled
“Form it!”.
First, you need to look at the pictures
on the television and you will form a
sentence based on what you can see.
Yes, sir.
After forming a sentence, we will
identify the subject and predicate.
Did everyone understand?
(Students’ answers may vary)
NARDO, Oliver II O.
(Students’ answers may vary)
Based on your answer, what is our
subject and predicate? Remember
that the subject is the topic of the
sentence, while the predicate talks
about the subject.
Very good! How about this picture? (Students’ answers may vary)
(Students’ answers may vary)
What is the subject and predicate in
the sentence?
Excellent! It seems like everyone is
very knowledgeable about sentences.
Sir, a sentence contains a subject
B. Interaction and a predicate and expresses a
complete thought.
Now, let us proceed to the 4 types of
sentence structures.
Again, what is a sentence?
Correct! Now there are different ways
how a sentence is structured. Let us
start with simple sentences.
Simple sentences contain a subject
and a predicate. It has only one

independent clause.
Remember, that an independent The subject in the sentence is

and expresses a complete thought.
The predicate is bought a book
For example, Pat bought a book this this morning.
morning.
What is our subject?
How about the predicate?
The subject is Frteand the
predicate is borrowed a book
Another example, Fred borrowed a from Pat.
book from Pat.
(Students’ answers may vary)
What is the subject and predicate?
(Students’ answers may vary)
Now, give me another example of a
simple sentence.
What is the subject and predicate?
Correct! Now let us move on to
Compound sentences.
Compound sentences contain two or
more independent clauses. These are
combined using a comma (,), a Sir, the answer is For, And, Nor,
semicolon (;), and coordinating But, Or, Yet, So
conjunctions or the F.A.N.B.OY.S.
What is F.A.N.B.O.Y.S again?
For instance, I like to read books, and
I like to write stories.
We have our first independent
clause; I like to read books. The
second independent clause; I like to
write stories. We can see that they
are connected by the conjunction
and, making it a compound sentence.
The first independent clause is
Another example is Karl’s car broke Karl’s car broke down and the
down; he came last. second independent clause is he
came last.
What are the two independent
NARDO, Oliver II O.
clauses in the sentence? They are connected by a
semicolon, Sir.
What connects the two clauses? (Students’ answers may vary)
(Students’ answers may vary)
Correct! Can you give me your own
example of a compound sentence?
What are the two independent
clauses and how are they connected?
Another type of sentence structure
are Complex sentences.
Complex sentences contains at least
one independent clause and at least
one dependent clause connected by
subordinating conjunctions such as
although, since, because, when,
whenever, as, who, which, that,
before, after, if, unless, until, while,
etc.
Take note that a dependent clause is
an incomplete thought and cannot
stand by itself. They have a subject Yes, Sir.
and predicate, but they need to join
an independent clause to form a
complete sentence.
Understood?
To give you an idea, The boy failed
the test because he did not work
hard.
The dependent clause in the
sentence is he did not work hard. If
you are going to look at it alone. It
does not exactly tell a complete
thought. It lacks information. Our
independent clause is the boy failed
the test because it can stand and has
a complete thought. These two The dependent clause is even
clauses are connected by a though she was sick, and the
subordinating conjunction ‘because’. independent clause is she went
to class, Sir.
Another example is, She went to
class even though she was sick. The subordinating conjunction is
even though.
NARDO, Oliver II O.
What is the dependent and
independent clause? (Students’ answers may vary)
What is the subordinating (Students’ answers may vary)
conjunction in the sentence?
If you understand complex
sentences, give me one example.
What is the dependent and
independent clause in the sentence?
Lastly, we have Compound-Complex
sentences.
Compound-complex sentences
contain at least two independent
clauses and at least one dependent
clause or vice versa.
For example, Kris didn't come
because she was sick, so Tina was
sad.
We have the two independent
clauses; Kris didn’t come and so Tina
was sad. The dependent clause in the
sentence is because she was sick.
Sir, the two dependent clauses
In this example, we have two are after getting home at work
dependent clauses and one and while my father stayed home

Lastly, what are compound-complex
sentences?
Since everyone understood the
lesson. Bring out a one-half sheet of
paper for our activity.
Activity 1
Direction: In a one-half sheet of
paper answer the following question:
What is the importance of learning
sentence structures in our daily life?

sentence structure in your answer.
Sir, through writing formal letters
to professionals.
C. Integration:
Class, since our topic for today is
about sentence structures.
As a student, how can we integrate Sir, when applying for a job, I can

Very good! We can integrate
sentence structures in writing an
organized and professional letter.
How about the others?
