INTRODUCTION |
The teacher revises the previous lesson and introduces the new topic by defining pronouns and discussing their case
A pronoun is a word that can be used to replace a noun or a noun phrase in a sentence, usually to avoid the repetition of the same noun or noun phrase.
Case of pronouns A pronoun must agree with the noun or noun phrase it represents in number(singular/plural), gender(masculine/feminine/neuter), person(first/second/third person) and case. Case refers to using a pronoun as the subject or object of the sentence, or to show who owns something. There are three cases in English- subjective, objective and possessive case. Pronouns have different forms depending on the case they bear.

EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION/TEACHER MODELLING |
The teacher then defines verbs and discusses the forms of verbs
A verb expresses an action of a state of being and is needed to make a complete sentence. Examples of verbs are sing, wash, clean, cook, read etc. Apart from the verb ‘be’ which has eight forms, all other verbs have five forms- the base or infinitive, the past tense, the perfect tense, the present tense and the progressive tense. Regular verbs like look, kick, wait, check and cry form their past and perfect tenses by adding -ed but irregular verbs like buy, freeze, drive, eat and see form their past and perfect tenses in a variety of ways. |
