Lesson 1 VERB TENSES

What I Need to Know

Verb tenses are introduced to us since our grade school years. In this
lesson, we will be reintroduced to verb tenses and how they are used and
developed into sentences.
At the end of this module, the students are expected to:
1. identify the different tenses of the verb;
2. determine when these tenses are used and how they
are formed; and
3. write effective sentences using the correct tense of the verb.

What’s In?

Photo taken from The Philippines Star * see reference

Study the picture above and write your impressions about it in at least three (3)
sentences. Be sure to underline the verbs you use.
1. ______________________________________________________________________
2. ______________________________________________________________________
3. ______________________________________________________________________

5
 Day 2

What’s New

Let us review on verbs.

Read the sentences below and underline the verbs.
1. The Local Government Unit ensures safety and security among its
constituents.
2. He helped the frontliners.
3. The barangay captain will provide free face masks.
4. Mother had cooked lunch when the children came.
5. Some teachers will be teaching virtually in this new normal.
Now that you have already identified the verbs, it is time for you to
determine its different tenses. Please read on.
This part discusses the four (4) tenses of the verb, namely: simple present,
simple past, simple future and past perfect tense of the verb.

1. PRESENT TENSE – we use this tense to show:

Habitual action
Ex. The boys play Mobile Legend every afternoon after class.

Note: The verb here does not end in “-s” or “-es” because the subject is
plural; “boys” is in plural form.

General truths or scientific facts.

Ex. The moon gives light during nighttime.

Note: The verb here ends in “-s” because the subject of our sentence is
singular; “moon” is in the singular form.

As long as the tense of the verb is in the present tense, the verb takes two
forms: Vo- main verb (no “-s” or “-es” ending, if the subject is plural) and the
second form is Vs- (means add “-s” or “-es” to the main verb if the subject is
singular)

Present event or action.

Ex. The world is in pandemic right now.

Future event or action.

It is alright to use the present tense form of the verb to express future actions.
Ex. Classes will open on August 24,2020.

6
2. PAST TENSE – we use this tense to express:

Action/event which is completed during a definite past time. Indicators

include last month, yesterday, a month ago, etc.
Ex. He played basketball yesterday afternoon.
They fled to the province about a month ago.

Habitual action in the past.

Ex. It rained almost everyday last month.

Note: There is only on form of the verb in the simple past, even if the
subject of the sentence is singular or plural as seen from the example above.The
form of the verb is Ved (adding “-d” or “-ed” to the main verb if it is a regular verb.)
Ex. watch – watched.

However, if the verb is an irregular verb, then we must change the vowel,
the consonant, or by making no change at all.
Ex. give – gave, read – read

3. FUTURE TENSE – We use this tense to express:

An action that will take place at some definite future time.

Ex. They will see you tomorrow.

An action that will be in progress at a specific time in the near

future.
Ex. She will be joining my class on Google Classroom at 8:00, tonight.

Note: In simple future tense the form of the verb is: will + Vo ( will + see=
will see) or will +be+ Ving ( will+be+joining = will be joining). These forms of the
verbs will be used regardless of the number of subject in the sentence: whether
the subject is singular or plural.

4. PAST PERFECT TENSE – We use this tense to show an action which took
place before another past action. It means the time element here is in the
past. The two past actions and past perfect tense showed the first of the two
past actions.

Ex. When the Americans came, the Spaniards had built schools and
churches in the country.

Note: The past perfect tense is formed by using the helping verb had+past
participle of the main verb.

Ex. The Filipinos had traded with other countries before the Spaniards came.

 What I can Do

GAME TIME: Determine at the verbs below. Draw a circle on the

space provided it if it is in the present tense; a star, if it is in the
past tense; a rectangle, if it is in the future tense; and a diamond,

1. watched ________ 6. wrote ________

2. had taken ________ 7. take ________
3. will buy ________ 8. had gone ________
4. smiles ________ 9. play ________
5. sell ________ 10. carried ________

Day 3

Lesson 2 ZERO CONDITIONALS

What I Need to Know

At the end of the lesson, it is expected that the learner can achieve the
following:
1. identify the conditional sentences from the excerpt of the poem.
2. write effective conditional sentences.

9
 What’s In

Read and underline verbs from the poem excerpt “If” by Rudyard Kipling.

IF
Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or , being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise

Read the excerpt once again and answer the questions that follow:
1. Have you experienced same situations in your life as those being mentioned
in the poem? How did you feel?
_______________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
2. What are the situations mentioned in the poem that are relatable to our
present condition? E.g. Our battle with the pandemic, our embattled
leaders with their seeming failures in handling the health crisis.
_______________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
3. What are the positive traits suggested in the poem that we should develop?
_______________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
4. Complete the sentences that follow:
a. If I keep my patience despite frustrating situations, ________________
________________________________________________________________
b. When a person knows how to let go of hatred, _____________________
________________________________________________________________
c. If our leaders are open-minded, ___________________________________
________________________________________________________________
d. If we do not trust ourselves, ______________________________________
e. When people boast, _______________________________________________

10
 What’s New?

Well, the answer to question number 4 (a-e) involve situations that result
when certain conditions are met. These kind of sentences or structures are called
CONDITIONALS. Conditionals are sometimes called the IF CLAUSES.
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES/CONDITIONALS – are sentences describing
situations that might happen in the present or in the future or situations that
might have happened in the past but didn’t. They are formed by using the
different tenses of the verb from the three simple tenses (past, present, future)
and perfect tense (past perfect).
There are two parts of a conditional sentence.
IF CLAUSE – describes a possible situation or a condition; while,
CONSEQUENCE CLAUSE – describes the result or the consequence of
the situation or the condition.
Ex. If am a rich man, I will set up a foundation to help the poor.
(If clause) (Consequence clause)

Note: You can interchange the clauses, but that does not change the meaning.
Ex. I will set up a foundation to help the poor if I am a rich man.

First, we will discuss the very basic type of conditional.

ZERO CONDITIONAL
This is a sentence that shows situations/conditions in which one thing
causes another. They show permanent truths, laws, rules, scientific facts and
general habits.

How is it structured?

IF/WHEN Clause – Use present tense form of the verb,

CONSEQUENCE Clause – use the present tense form of the verb.
Ex. If the moon’s shadow blocks the sun, a solar eclipse occurs.
When light passes through water, a rainbow appears.

As you read the two examples above, they show that these conditions are
always true for they are the laws of nature. So, when describing them, we will
use the structure of the zero conditional. The Zero Conditional is also called
Present Real Conditional. This is used to talk about what you normally do in real-
life situations.

SHALL WE PRACTICE? Write at least two (2) zero conditional sentences showing
conditions/situations that are always true for they show scientific facts or general
habits, or what you normally do in real-life situations.

1. ___________________________________________________________________________
2. ___________________________________________________________________________

11
 What I Can Do
A. To polish your skill in using/expressing the Zero Conditional, try this activity:
Complete the dialogue below by using zero conditional.

1. When I get tired, ______________________________________________________.

2. People turn to God ____________________________________________________.
3. When people feel sick, _________________________________________________.
4. If people develop herd immunity against viruses,________________________.
5. When a disaster strikes, _______________________________________________.

B. Charade: Let us pretend you are Ate Sophie, your school guidance
counselor. You will give advice to students who are having learning and
behavioral problems. What advice can you give?
Ex. When learning becomes difficult, don’t give up.
When learning becomes difficult, try asking your teacher for help.
Write at least 5 school/classroom problems you encounter and give advice to
solve it using zero conditional.
1._________________________________________________________________________.
2._________________________________________________________________________.
3._________________________________________________________________________.
4._________________________________________________________________________.
5._________________________________________________________________________.

 Day 4

Lesson 3 FIRST CONDITIONALS

What I Need to Know

At the end of the lesson, it is expected that the learner can achieve the
following:
1. identify First Conditional sentences and how they are structured.
2. write effective first conditional sentences.

What’s In
Try to give the effects of the following causes using the Zero Conditional
structure:
1. If you cut trees indiscriminately, __________________________________________.
2. If teenagers go out in this quarantine seasons, ____________________________.
3. If dynamite fishing is done, _______________________________________________.

What’s New

Bakshi,Sreoshi “.7 things you just can’t miss before going to the beach.” Women Triangle.,June
17,2017.www.women triangle.com/7-things-just-can’t-miss-before-.going-to-the-beach.

Study the picture above. It’s lovely spending your day at the beach, right? Well,
list down below at least three conditions that allow you to go to the beach. Use
“if” in your sentences.
1.____________________________________________________________________.
2.____________________________________________________________________.
3.____________________________________________________________________.

13
 How about this? If the weather is fine tomorrow, I will go to the beach. So,
the condition is a fine weather, then I will go to the beach. These are conditions
that are likely to happen. They are expressed using the First Conditional.

What then is First Conditional?

It is a conditional sentence showing that under a certain condition (as

shown in the If-Clause) a specific result will likely happen in the future. This type
of conditional shows real present condition and real future consequence. It is
used to talk about things which might happen in the future or to describe possible
things which could easily come true.

How is it structured?

IF/WHEN Clause- Use present tense form of the verb.

CONSEQUENCE Clause- Use the modals (WILL, CAN, MUST +Main form of the
verb.) It is also common to use this structure with “unless”, “as long as”, “as soon
as” and “in case” instead of IF.

If+ present simple,… modal + main form of the verb

Ex. If my sister finishes her studies, she will go abroad to work.

Ex. As long as a person does not show any COVID-19 symptoms for ten days,
he will be eligible for discharge from the hospital.

Remember, use the First Conditional to talk about REALISTIC present/

future situations.

SHALL WE PRACTICE? Complete the following sentences using the First

Conditional structure.

1. If classes resume, _________________________________________________________.

2. If you want to donate gadgets to DepEd, ____________________________________.
3.If your teacher checks your project, _________________________________________.

What I Can Do
Supply the blank with a correct consequence clause.

1. If there are no more rooms in the hospital for the Covid-19 patients,
__________________________________________________________________________.
2. If the U.S. helps the Philippines in their cause against China’s aggressive
presence in the West Philippine Sea, ______________________________________.
3. When people no longer heed the lockdown imposed by the
government,______________________________________________________________.
4. If IATF lifts Cebu City’s quarantine restrictions,____________________________
__________________________________________________________________________.
5. When a patient recovers from the Covid-19 disease, _______________________

Lesson 4 SECOND CONDITIONALS

What I Need to Know

Over the past few months, we have experienced an unprecedented shift in

our way of life due to COVID-19. Prepandemic, who would have thought that
alcohol could become as precious as gold! There are a lot of realizations and one
can only think about the things that could have been.

At the end of the lesson, it is expected that the learner can achieve the
following:
1. identify Second Conditional sentences and how they are structured;
and
2. write effective second conditional sentences.

17
 What’s In
When COVID-19 came, most of the countries were left unprepared.
Based on what you heard from the news and from local sources, there is so
much information to process. In your own words, supply appropriate thoughts
in order to make the sentence complete.

1. If most countries invested in medical advances, ________________________

_______________________________________________________________________

2. If Filipinos had a healthy diet, _________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________

What’s New
In this section, we will talk about conditionals that may never happen in
the future; this is called the Second Conditional?

What is Second Conditional?

This is a sentence that shows outcomes that are completely unrealistic

or is not likely to happen in the future.

How is it structured?

IF Clause – use the simple past tense form of the verb.

CONSEQUENCE Clause- use modals, choose either one of them: would,
could and might + main form of the verb.

Ex. If I knew how to skydive, I might invite you to join me.

If the government allowed classes to open during the pandemic,
many students would take it as a challenge and enroll.

The above situations show impossibilities. The conditions and the

consequences shown in the examples above are impossible to happen, so we
use the Second Conditional to express them.

SHALL WE PRACTICE? Create a dialogue that show imaginary, unreal or

impossible situations and consequences of these situations. Use the Second
Conditional to express them.

Lesson 5 THIRD CONDITIONALS

What I Need to Know

Actions done in the significant past cannot be undone. Sometimes, we are
left to think what ifs and what could have been done better.

At the end of the lesson, it is expected that the learner can achieve the
following:

1. develop mastery of the different forms of the verbs especially in

structuring conditional sentences
2. complete the dialogues using third conditionals, and
3. write sentences using third conditionals.

What’s In

In our previous discussion, we talked about how to structure the Second

Conditional.

IF Clause – use the simple past tense form of the verb.

21
 CONSEQUENCE Clause- use modals, choose either one of them: would, could
and might + base form of the verb.
Ex. If I knew how to skydive, I might invite you to join me.
If I had enough money, I would go and live in Japan.

What is there to expect in the “New Normal”? Even when society starts up
again, there will still be restrictions and we are facing essential shifts to our way
of life. So, what does a New Normal look like? Shown below are measures and
realities in our current condition moving forward.

THE WAY WE LIVE IS DIFFERENT

• Masks and gloves may be commonplace, depending on where in the world
you live.

• Queuing is now the norm, be it when visiting health professionals, going to

the shops, or even getting in a lift.

• Public transport looks very different, with social distancing in place and
commuters wearing masks and gloves.

• We do a double-take when we hear someone cough, sneeze, or sniffle.

We’ve been conditioned these past few months to be hypervigilant for these
symptoms, but hopefully this might also mean that higher standards of
hand and personal hygiene will continue.

• We’ll start to holiday more in our own backyards due to travel

restrictions, which can only be a good thing for local economies as they cope
with the decline in overseas and interstate tourist numbers. Wanderlust for
overseas exotic locations will also be on the rise, and Instagram will no
doubt fuel those desires.

What’s New
Actions done cannot be undone; this is the general idea followed by the simple
past. When applied in other grammatical processes, we can use the action to
describe a situation that didn't happen as well as to imagine the result of this
situation; this is the 3rd Conditional.

What then is the Third Conditional?

22
 THIRD CONDITIONAL – is a sentence that shows past regret or different
outcome that would have happened if a specific condition had been meet.
Another way of looking at it is using this conditional to show things that
didn’t happen in the past and their imaginary results.

How is it structured ?

IF Clause – Use the helping verb HAD + Past Participle form of the verb ( had
given), CONSEQUENCE Clause= modal WOULD + have +Past Participle
form of the verb( would +have + done)

Ex. If Mary had seen the consequences of her actions, she would have done
the right thing.
If people had obeyed the health protocols, they would have enjoyed
COVID free environment.
If you carefully read the examples above, you would notice the hint of regret
in the lines, and all the things mentioned did not actually happen and all were in
the past.
SHALL WE PRACTICE? Think of something you failed to do in the past and
its consequences. Express them using the 3rd conditional.
