1. Introduction
Before we start our discussion today, let
us have a simple recall of what you
have learned from your previous
discussions.
Review
Let us go over what you learned about
sentences.
What is a Sentence? Anybody? A sentence is a group of
words, teacher.
Very good! What else, class? A sentence starts with a
capital letter.
Excellent! Your answers are correct!
When we say, Sentence, it is a group of
words that expresses a complete thought
or idea.
I am so glad that you have learned from
your previous discussions. Give
everybody 5 big claps, begin!
Motivation
Are you now ready with our discussion,
class? Yes, teacher.
As an introduction to our topic, I have
prepared here pictures. I want you to
observe it properly and describe what is
it all about.
(The teacher shares pictures.)
The girl is helping her
mother and daughter
mother in washing
their clothes.
What can you describe about the
picture? The mother and the girl is
washing the clothes,
That is correct! The girl is helping her teacher.
mother.
What is the girl doing in the picture? She is washing the
clothes, teacher.
Very good! Who is helping her mother
in washing the clothes? The girl is helping her
mother, teacher.
Fantastic! Now, take a look with the
two descriptions under each pictures.
What do you think is the difference
between the two? In the first picture, the
sentence is long while in
the second picture, it is
shorter than the other,
teacher.
You’ve got it right! The description in
the first picture describes a sentence and
the second picture is just a phrase.
With that, we will be learning today a
new lesson that talks about a sentence
and a phrase.
Thank you so much for all your active
participation. Alright, fasten your
seatbelts as we go deeper our
understanding about our topic for today.
Statement of the Subject Today, we will learn more about the
Matter and Aim sentences and non-sentences. Read our
topic, begin!
(The teacher calls a student.) Distinguishing Sentences
from Non-Sentences
Listen attentively and participate well so
we can have an interactive discussion
and for us to achieve the following
objectives. Kindly read the objectives,
begin!
(The teacher calls a student.) a. Identify what is a
sentence and a non-
sentence.
b. Distinguish sentences
from non-sentences
(EN3G-Ia-1.1) and;
c. Explain the importance
of being helpful.
2. Interaction
Distinguishing Sentences from
Non-Sentences
Let us read the following group of
words.
(Teacher calls a student to read.) Joy is eating an ice
cream.
eating happily
Which of the following expresses a
complete thought or idea? Is it the first
one or the second one? The first one expresses a
complete thought, teacher.
That is correct! It is the first one. It tells
us who is eating an ice cream. It also
tells us what Joy is doing and what is
she eating.
It can be understood easily because it is
clear and the idea is complete. This is
what we call, Sentence.
Sentence – is a group of words that
expresses a complete thought or idea.
How about the second group of words?
eating happily
It seems like there’s something missing,
right? Yes, teacher.
What have you noticed, class? It is short and just two
words, teacher.
That’s true! It does not express a
complete idea.
Who is eating happily?
What are they eating?
We will not be able to answer questions
like that because it is incomplete. This
is what we call, Non-sentence. Is that
clear? Yes, teacher.
Now let us try another example. Kindly
read, begin!
(Teacher calls a student to read.) Ex. Elsa goes to school.
pen and paper
Which do you think is a sentence? Elsa goes to school is a
sentence, teacher.
Marvelous! Which do you think is not a
sentence? Pen and paper is not a
sentence, teacher.
Fantastic! There is another way to
determine a sentence from a non-
sentence, class.
A sentence starts with a capital letter
and ends with a punctuation mark. It
can be a period, a question mark, or an
exclamation point.
Ex. Elsa goes to school.
While a non-sentence does not begin
with a capital letter and has no
punctuation mark.
Ex. pen and paper
Is everything clear, class? Yes, teacher.
Well, to understand better the difference
between the two, let us try another
example.
Kindly read, begin!
(Teacher calls a student to read.) Ex. Colet dances well.
Is it a sentence or a non-sentence? It is a sentence, teacher.
Why is it a sentence? It is a sentence because it
expresses a complete
thought, teacher.
Amazing! Who dances well? Colet dances well.
How did Colet dance? She dances well.
Very good! Aside from it shows a
complete thought, what else? It starts with a capital
letter, teacher.
Target! Another? It ends with a punctuation
mark, teacher.
That’s right! You’re all learning fast.
Another example, kindly read!
(Teacher calls a student to read.) Ex. a cup cake
Is it a sentence or a non-sentence? A non-sentence, teacher.
Very good! What makes it a non-
sentence? It is not a complete idea
and has no punctuation
mark, teacher.
That is correct! The example does not
tell us who ate the cupcake or who
made cupcake. Am I right? Yes, teacher.
Do you now understand the difference
between a sentence from a non-
sentence? Yes, teacher.
Amazing! I am impressed that all of you
are learning that fast. Good job,
everyone!

How about a non-sentence? A non-sentence has no
complete idea and does
not starts with a capital
letter, teacher.

punctuation mark, how about a non-
