Objectives
Cognitive
Students will be able to identify different sentence types (declarative,
interrogative, imperative, exclamatory), differentiate between subject
and predicate, and understand the role of clauses and phrases in
sentence structure.
Affective
Students will develop an appreciation for the diversity of sentence
structures and their impact on communication. This awareness will help
students recognize how different sentence types contribute to the tone,
clarity, and expressiveness of writing and speech.
Physchomotor
Students will apply their understanding by constructing various
sentence types, identifying parts of sentences (subject, predicate,
clauses, phrases), and improving their writing and speaking abilities
through proper sentence usage.
Discussion of the Topic
1. Declarative Sentence
A declarative sentence makes a statement. It is the
most common type of sentence and is used to convey
facts, opinions, or information. Declarative sentences
always end with a period.
2. Interrogative Sentence
An interrogative sentence asks a question and seeks
information from the reader or listener. Interrogative
sentences always end with a question mark.
3. Imperative Sentence
An imperative sentence issues a command, request, or
instruction. It can express a direct order or a polite
request, and it usually begins with a verb. Imperative
sentences can end with either a period or an
exclamation mark, depending on the tone.
4. Exclamatory Sentence
An exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotion or
excitement. It conveys feelings such as surprise,
happiness, anger, or amazement, and always ends with
an exclamation mark.
Subject
The subject of a sentence tells who or what the sentence
is about. It typically consists of a noun, pronoun, or
noun phrase. The subject can be singular or plural,
depending on how many people or things are involved.
Predicate
The predicate of a sentence tells what the subject does
or what is done to the subject. It includes the verb and,
often, other elements like objects or modifiers that
provide additional information.
Clause
A clause is a group of words that contains both
a subject and a predicate. Clauses are divided
into two main types:
Additional Explanation
Independent clauses are the backbone
of every complete sentence. They can
be connected to other clauses using
conjunctions to form compound or
complex sentences (e.g., She went to the
store, and he stayed home).
Phrase
A phrase is a group of words
that does not contain both a
subject and a verb. Unlike
clauses, phrases cannot stand
alone as complete sentences.
They function as parts of
speech within a sentence (e.g.,
nouns, verbs, adjectives,
adverbs).
