PREFACE
This Supplementary Intervention Material in English Grammar is a
comprehensive and practical material which is primarily designed to improve the
competence of the freshmen students of Bacnotan National High School in the area of
grammar. It aims to strengthen the grammatical competence of the students for
independent acquisition of knowledge for academic study which is their tool for
effective communication, both in oral and in written communication.
As an intervention material, this assists students to acquire competence in
grammar as they put into practical use the different lessons therein. It contains plentiful
exercises for practice and reinforcement. Activities are presented in a creative fashion
graded to suit the different learning abilities of the students and every effort was made
by the author to contextualize, localize and indigenize the different activities to make
the learning of English grammar easier and enjoyable. The author believes that a
learner understands concepts and acquires skills if lessons are within his experience.
It is then the author’s greatest hope that this supplementary intervention
material will enable learners to become competent in the use of English language.
So, Enjoy while you are learning!

Things to
Remember:
Subject-is the
person or thing
being described
Predicate-
expresses what is
said about the
subject
LESSON 1
KINDS OF SENTENCE
ACCORDING TO USE
a. define sentence;
b. identify the kinds of sentences according to use;
c. use sentences appropriately and meaningfully; and
d. give example of sentences according to use.
LET’S DISCUSS!
SENTENCE
A sentence is made up of two parts: the subject and the predicate. These two parts
combine to make a complete sentence. What are the subject and predicate?
In a normal sentence, the subject appears at the beginning of the sentence, while the
predicate comes after it.
Examples:
Birds sing.
Subject Predicate
The sun shines.
Subject Predicate
Rumours spread fast.
Subject Predicate
The warden of the building checked every visitor with great care.
Subject Predicate
The subject is often a noun or noun-equivalent.
Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |10
RyanAdelanteCortez
Things to
Remember:
Auxiliary verb-
An auxiliary verb
helps the
principal verb to
form a
particular tense
or voice.
In sentences (1) to (3), the subjects “birds, the sun and rumours” are all nouns.
In sentence (4) the subject “the warden” is a noun with an adjective phrase “of the
building”.
As for predicate, it may have one item or more. If it has only one item, that item must be
the verb.
The simplest sentence is therefore a sentence with “one subject + one verb”.
SENTENCES ACCORDING TO FUNCTION
A– DECLARATIVE SENTENCES
A declarative sentence states a fact. It always ends with a period (.). For positive
statement, the sentence is affirmative. For negative statement, the sentence is negative,
indicated by the word not, no, none and never.
The following sentences are affirmative sentences.
Example:
a. Pedro lives far from the school.
b. All of us go to school early.
c. I have seen your teacher once.
d. Pedro’s father is a farmer.
e. They are now in Manila.
The following sentences are negative sentences.
a. Pedro does not live far from my house.
b. None of us go to school late.
c. I have never seen your teacher before.
d. Pedro’s father is not a farmer.
e. They are not in Manila.
B- INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES
An interrogative sentence is used to ask question. It is simply called a question. The
punctuation mark used is a question mark (?).
1. Most of the questions are general questions, which take ‘Yes’ or ‘No’
as answers. Hence, general questions are also called ‘yes-no
questions’.
Examples:
a. Are you a student? Yes, I am.
b. Does Lucia know English? No, she doesn’t.
2. The second type of question is alternative questions in which two
answers are provided for your choice through the use of the
conjunction ‘or’.
Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |11
RyanAdelanteCortez
Examples:
a. Is June a cook or a maid? She is a cook.
b. Will you stay for a night, or must you leave now? I shall stay for a night.
The second part of the question may be elliptical.
Examples:
a. Did they go to Manila or (did they go to) Ilocos Sur?
b. Will they come by bus or (will they come) by taxi?
c. Can you be there on Monday or (can you be there) on Tuesday?
3. The third type of question is asking about information known as ‘informative
questions’ formed with WH questions such as ‘where, when, who, what, why,
how+ auxiliary verb + subject + principal verb.
Examples:
a. Where do you live?
b. When will you come?
c. What is your name?
4. The last type of commonly seen question is tag questions. Tag question is formed
by ‘a statement + a question tag’ with a comma in between.
If the statement is affirmative, the question is negative, and vice versa.
Also, the pronoun and the auxiliary/modal verb in the tag must be the same as they are
in the statement. Finally, the tense in the tag must also agree with that in the statement.
Examples:
a. Letty is sad, isn’t she?
b. The students will come, won’t they?
c. She is not happy, is she?
d. They won’t go, will they.
The answer of ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to a tag question is based on the nature of the statement. If
the statement is positive, the answer is positive; if the statement is negative, the answer
is negative.
Hence, the answers to the above examples are as follows:
a. Yes, she is.
b. Yes, they will.
c. No, she isn’t.
d. No, they won’t.
C- IMPERATIVE SENTENCES
An imperative sentence is used to make a request or give an order using please or
kindly. It ends with a period (.).
Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |12
RyanAdelanteCortez
1. The verb of an imperative sentence is in the present tense, and the subject is the
second person ‘you’, which is often omitted.
Examples:
a. Stand there!
b. Take a seat, please.
c. Please close the door.
2. To express the indirect order for the first or third person, we have to begin the
imperative sentence with ‘let’.
Examples:
a. Let me do it.
b. Let him tell us.
c. Let the boy come in.
D- EXCLAMATORY SENTENCES
An exclamatory sentence is used to express emotional feelings like surprise, joy, anger
and others. It ends with an exclamation mark (!).
An exclamatory sentence usually introduced by ‘what’ + noun or ‘how’+
adjective/adverb.
Examples:
1. What a beautiful woman Rica is!
2. What a nice man you are!
3. How happy you look!
4. How sweetly Irene sings!
Note the difference between an exclamatory sentence and an interrogative sentence in
word order.
Exclamatory Sentence Interrogative Sentence
1. How smart he is!
2. How far you have run!
3. What a good prize Jocelyn gets!
How smart is he?
How far have you run?
What prize does Jocelyn get?

LET’S DISCUSS!
SENTENCESAND FRAGMENTS
A sentence contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete
thought.
Fragments are not sentences. They are only sentence parts. Some
fragments don’t have subjects, some don’t verbs. They can be phrases
only.
Examples:
Playing during break time
Marissa under the tree
In August 2015
To make the above phrases into sentences, they can be written in the following
ways.
Darla is playing basketball during break time. (The linking verb is and the subject Darla
are added to complete the sentence.

Things to
Remember:
Independent
Clause- group of
related words that
has a subject and a
verb and makes
sense by itself.
Subordinating
clause- A group of
related words that
has a subject and a
verb, but does not
make sense by itself
because it needs the
independent clause
to make sense.
Conjunction-a word
that connects
words, phrases,
clauseor sentences.
FOURKINDS OF SENTENCESACCORDINGTO STRUCTURES
A-SIMPLE SENTENCE
A simple sentence is composed of a subject and a verb, and expresses a complete
thought. It is also called an independent clause. Sometimes, a single verb is already
considered a simple sentence.
Examples:
Go!
Move
Independent clauses:
He lives in a big house.
Jane is a teacher.
All of us learn English.
Now that we have dealt with the simple sentence, let us now discuss
compound sentence.
B- COMPOUND SENTENCE
A compound sentence is composed of two (2) independent
clauses joined by a conjunction. These conjunctions are the following: and, but, or, nor,
for, so and yet.
Examples:
Deborah suddenly came, and all we all got wet.
Control your passion, or they will control you.
Tony ran fast, so he arrived first.
We will accept your project for it looks good.
Mrs. De Guzman was late in coming to class, yet she still gave the long quiz to
them.
Manny Pacquiao tried hard, but he still could not make it against Mayweather.
Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |29
RyanAdelanteCortez
Such sentences are known as coordinate clauses because they are of the same rank and
equal in importance.
C-COMPLEX SENTENCES
This sentence consists of one (1) independent clause and one (1) or two (2)
dependent or subordinating clauses joined by a subordinating conjunction.
Examples:
Because the mountains have been denuded, there is a possibility of flash floods.
If there are no more trees, other creatures will also die.
The subordinating conjunctions because and if introduce the dependent clauses.
According to function in the sentence, a subordinate clause may do the job of a noun,
adjective, or adverb and is also called noun clause (sentences 1 and 2) adjective clause
(sentences 3 and 4) or an adverb clause (sentences 5 and 6)
Examples:
1. James said that he could not come tonight.
2. Flory denied that she had criticized Jacky.
3. The time which is lost is lost forever.
4. Do you know the teacher who is talking to Ryan?
5. Do it before you forget!
6. She could not come because she was sick.
D-COMPOUND COMPLEX
This sentence has two (2) or more independent clauses and one or more
dependent clauses.
Examples:
The family members plant trees in their backyard, and they encourage their
neighbour to plant trees in theirs, so they can all breathe clean air.
The subordinating clause is introduced by a subordinating conjunction so. In
writing a compound-complex sentence, construct a compound sentence and add to it
one or more dependent clause.

TENSES OF VERBS
a. Define verbs and identify the tenses of the verbs;
b. Choose the correct tense of the verb in the sentence; and
c. Correct and revise the sentence with the correct tense of the
verb.
LET’S DISCUSS!
VERB
Verb is an action word. A verb plays an essential role in written and spoken
English. Without it, the thought expressed in a sentence is incomplete and unclear
because a verb expresses the state of being, condition, or action of a subject. It tells
what is happening to a subject.
1. Verbs are action words
Examples:
dance interpret receive
work locate utilize
smell eat jog
gather collect teach
write enter affirm
explore pass love
2. Verbs denote condition or state of being.
Examples:
am is are
was were will be/shall be
become grow remain
stay seem
Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |57
RyanAdelanteCortez
3. Verbs are marked by derivational suffixes.
Examples:
ify-solidify
fy-unify
en-stiffen
ise-supervise
ate-activate
Verbs can be classified according to form.
1. Regular verb forms its past and past participle by adding D/ED to its
present form.
Present Past Past
Participle
Call Called Called
Increase increased increased
2. Irregular verb form its past and past participle by a change in its spelling.
Present Past Past
Participle
Break Broke broken
Take Took Taken
Catch Caught Caught
NB: Some irregular verbs maintain their spellings in all forms
Present Past Past
Participle
Hit Hit Hit
Put Put Put
Verbs can be also classified according to meaning.
1. Transitive verb needs an object (direct object) to complete its meaning.
Examples:
call the students submit the reports
TV D.O TV D.O
tell them gather the facts
TV D.O TV D.O
Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |58
RyanAdelanteCortez
2. Intransitive verb does not need a direct object to complete its meaning.
Examples:
go move stand
3. Linking verb links the subject and the predicate
am
is
are
was
were
will be/shall be
Examples:
Ryan is busy.
S LV P
The class remains silent.
S LV P
4. Helping verb/Auxiliary verb helps the main verb to stand in order to
make the sentence complete and meaningful.
Examples:
An auxiliary verb ‘be’.
The boy is washing a car.
An auxiliary verb ‘have’.
All our staff have worked hard.

LESSON 6
CONJUNCTIONS
a. Define conjunctions;
b. Identify the different uses of conjunctions; and
c. Connect sentences using conjunctions.
CONJUNCTION
LET’S DISCUSS!
Conjunctions are words that are used to connect words, phrases, clauses and
sentences.
Examples:
Rice and fish- words
Neither in the school nor market-phrases
I was busy when you came- clauses
There are three kinds of conjunctions: the coordinating, correlative and subordinating
conjunctions.
COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
There are seven coordinating conjunctions in the English language. These are:
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. In short FANBOYS to easily remember these
conjunctions.
For- is a conjuction used to indicate the reason why something happened.

RyanAdelanteCortez
Examples:
Naty loves to go to the hills, for she likes to watch the children who fly
kites.
James went to bed early, for he was not feeling well.
Rhian left, for it was late.
And- is a conjunction used to indicate connection or addition within the same class or
type.
Examples:
Last summer, Martin took up voice lessons and joined the church choir.
Martin is now good in singing and in playing instruments.
Nor- is a coordinating conjunction that is used to support a negative statement.
Examples:
Mark is healthy because he does not smoke nor does he drink liquor.
(Mark avoids smoking and drinking)
The audience can hardly see the performers, nor can they hear them well.
(The audience cannot see and they cannot hear the performers well.)
But- is a conjunction that is used to indicate contrasting idea in the sentence.
Examples:
The house is beautiful, but it is rather small.
We went to the museum, but it was already closed.
The pair of shoes is not durable, but I like them.
Or- is a coordinating conjunction that is used to indicate a choice, a possibility, or a
refinement of the idea/s presented earlier in the sentence.
Examples:
Marie will have to do part-time work, or she will have to quit schooling.
He either missed the 8 o’clock train, or he just decided not to join the trip anymore.
We can stop working and go on our separate ways, or we can put our
efforts together and rebuild our dreams as a team.
Yet- is a conjunction that is used in the same way as the conjunction but. It is used to
express contrast. It can be used to take the place of the word nevertheless or even.
Examples:
That piece of jewelry looks simpler than the one I bought, yet it is more expensive.
Maggies’s gown is plain and simple yet elegant.

RyanAdelanteCortez
So- is a coordinating conjunction that is used to indicate a consequence or result. It
can be used to replace the word “therefore”.
Examples:
The rain fell suddenly, so I was forced to buy an umbrella.
Anton decided to live on his own, so he tried to learn how to cook his own food.

Supplementary Intervention Material in English Grammar 7 by Ryan A. Cortez, MSEE

  • 1.
  • 2. Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |2 RyanAdelanteCortez PREFACE This Supplementary Intervention Material in English Grammar is a comprehensive and practical material which is primarily designed to improve the competence of the freshmen students of Bacnotan National High School in the area of grammar. It aims to strengthen the grammatical competence of the students for independent acquisition of knowledge for academic study which is their tool for effective communication, both in oral and in written communication. As an intervention material, this assists students to acquire competence in grammar as they put into practical use the different lessons therein. It contains plentiful exercises for practice and reinforcement. Activities are presented in a creative fashion graded to suit the different learning abilities of the students and every effort was made by the author to contextualize, localize and indigenize the different activities to make the learning of English grammar easier and enjoyable. The author believes that a learner understands concepts and acquires skills if lessons are within his experience. It is then the author’s greatest hope that this supplementary intervention material will enable learners to become competent in the use of English language. So, Enjoy while you are learning! -R. A. Cortez

  • 9. Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |9 RyanAdelanteCortez Things to Remember: Subject-is the person or thing being described Predicate- expresses what is said about the subject LESSON 1 KINDS OF SENTENCE ACCORDING TO USE a. define sentence; b. identify the kinds of sentences according to use; c. use sentences appropriately and meaningfully; and d. give example of sentences according to use. LET’S DISCUSS! SENTENCE A sentence is made up of two parts: the subject and the predicate. These two parts combine to make a complete sentence. What are the subject and predicate? In a normal sentence, the subject appears at the beginning of the sentence, while the predicate comes after it. Examples: Birds sing. Subject Predicate The sun shines. Subject Predicate Rumours spread fast. Subject Predicate The warden of the building checked every visitor with great care. Subject Predicate The subject is often a noun or noun-equivalent.
  • 10. Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |10 RyanAdelanteCortez Things to Remember: Auxiliary verb- An auxiliary verb helps the principal verb to form a particular tense or voice. In sentences (1) to (3), the subjects “birds, the sun and rumours” are all nouns. In sentence (4) the subject “the warden” is a noun with an adjective phrase “of the building”. As for predicate, it may have one item or more. If it has only one item, that item must be the verb. The simplest sentence is therefore a sentence with “one subject + one verb”. SENTENCES ACCORDING TO FUNCTION A– DECLARATIVE SENTENCES A declarative sentence states a fact. It always ends with a period (.). For positive statement, the sentence is affirmative. For negative statement, the sentence is negative, indicated by the word not, no, none and never. The following sentences are affirmative sentences. Example: a. Pedro lives far from the school. b. All of us go to school early. c. I have seen your teacher once. d. Pedro’s father is a farmer. e. They are now in Manila. The following sentences are negative sentences. a. Pedro does not live far from my house. b. None of us go to school late. c. I have never seen your teacher before. d. Pedro’s father is not a farmer. e. They are not in Manila. B- INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES An interrogative sentence is used to ask question. It is simply called a question. The punctuation mark used is a question mark (?). 1. Most of the questions are general questions, which take ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ as answers. Hence, general questions are also called ‘yes-no questions’. Examples: a. Are you a student? Yes, I am. b. Does Lucia know English? No, she doesn’t. 2. The second type of question is alternative questions in which two answers are provided for your choice through the use of the conjunction ‘or’.
  • 11. Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |11 RyanAdelanteCortez Examples: a. Is June a cook or a maid? She is a cook. b. Will you stay for a night, or must you leave now? I shall stay for a night. The second part of the question may be elliptical. Examples: a. Did they go to Manila or (did they go to) Ilocos Sur? b. Will they come by bus or (will they come) by taxi? c. Can you be there on Monday or (can you be there) on Tuesday? 3. The third type of question is asking about information known as ‘informative questions’ formed with WH questions such as ‘where, when, who, what, why, how+ auxiliary verb + subject + principal verb. Examples: a. Where do you live? b. When will you come? c. What is your name? 4. The last type of commonly seen question is tag questions. Tag question is formed by ‘a statement + a question tag’ with a comma in between. If the statement is affirmative, the question is negative, and vice versa. Also, the pronoun and the auxiliary/modal verb in the tag must be the same as they are in the statement. Finally, the tense in the tag must also agree with that in the statement. Examples: a. Letty is sad, isn’t she? b. The students will come, won’t they? c. She is not happy, is she? d. They won’t go, will they. The answer of ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to a tag question is based on the nature of the statement. If the statement is positive, the answer is positive; if the statement is negative, the answer is negative. Hence, the answers to the above examples are as follows: a. Yes, she is. b. Yes, they will. c. No, she isn’t. d. No, they won’t. C- IMPERATIVE SENTENCES An imperative sentence is used to make a request or give an order using please or kindly. It ends with a period (.).
  • 12. Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |12 RyanAdelanteCortez 1. The verb of an imperative sentence is in the present tense, and the subject is the second person ‘you’, which is often omitted. Examples: a. Stand there! b. Take a seat, please. c. Please close the door. 2. To express the indirect order for the first or third person, we have to begin the imperative sentence with ‘let’. Examples: a. Let me do it. b. Let him tell us. c. Let the boy come in. D- EXCLAMATORY SENTENCES An exclamatory sentence is used to express emotional feelings like surprise, joy, anger and others. It ends with an exclamation mark (!). An exclamatory sentence usually introduced by ‘what’ + noun or ‘how’+ adjective/adverb. Examples: 1. What a beautiful woman Rica is! 2. What a nice man you are! 3. How happy you look! 4. How sweetly Irene sings! Note the difference between an exclamatory sentence and an interrogative sentence in word order. Exclamatory Sentence Interrogative Sentence 1. How smart he is! 2. How far you have run! 3. What a good prize Jocelyn gets! How smart is he? How far have you run? What prize does Jocelyn get?

  • 24. Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |24 RyanAdelanteCortez Things to Remember: Linking verb- indicates the condition or manner of a person or thing.

  • 28. Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |28 RyanAdelanteCortez Things to Remember: Independent Clause- group of related words that has a subject and a verb and makes sense by itself. Subordinating clause- A group of related words that has a subject and a verb, but does not make sense by itself because it needs the independent clause to make sense. Conjunction-a word that connects words, phrases, clauseor sentences. FOURKINDS OF SENTENCESACCORDINGTO STRUCTURES A-SIMPLE SENTENCE A simple sentence is composed of a subject and a verb, and expresses a complete thought. It is also called an independent clause. Sometimes, a single verb is already considered a simple sentence. Examples: Go! Move Independent clauses: He lives in a big house. Jane is a teacher. All of us learn English. Now that we have dealt with the simple sentence, let us now discuss compound sentence. B- COMPOUND SENTENCE A compound sentence is composed of two (2) independent clauses joined by a conjunction. These conjunctions are the following: and, but, or, nor, for, so and yet. Examples: Deborah suddenly came, and all we all got wet. Control your passion, or they will control you. Tony ran fast, so he arrived first. We will accept your project for it looks good. Mrs. De Guzman was late in coming to class, yet she still gave the long quiz to them. Manny Pacquiao tried hard, but he still could not make it against Mayweather.
  • 29. Supplementary InterventionMaterial in English Grammar forGrade 7 |29 RyanAdelanteCortez Such sentences are known as coordinate clauses because they are of the same rank and equal in importance. C-COMPLEX SENTENCES This sentence consists of one (1) independent clause and one (1) or two (2) dependent or subordinating clauses joined by a subordinating conjunction. Examples: Because the mountains have been denuded, there is a possibility of flash floods. If there are no more trees, other creatures will also die. The subordinating conjunctions because and if introduce the dependent clauses. According to function in the sentence, a subordinate clause may do the job of a noun, adjective, or adverb and is also called noun clause (sentences 1 and 2) adjective clause (sentences 3 and 4) or an adverb clause (sentences 5 and 6) Examples: 1. James said that he could not come tonight. 2. Flory denied that she had criticized Jacky. 3. The time which is lost is lost forever. 4. Do you know the teacher who is talking to Ryan? 5. Do it before you forget! 6. She could not come because she was sick. D-COMPOUND COMPLEX This sentence has two (2) or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Examples: The family members plant trees in their backyard, and they encourage their neighbour to plant trees in theirs, so they can all breathe clean air. The subordinating clause is introduced by a subordinating conjunction so. In writing a compound-complex sentence, construct a compound sentence and add to it one or more dependent clause.

Examples: Rice and fish- words Neither in the school nor market-phrases I was busy when you came- clauses There are three kinds of conjunctions: the coordinating, correlative and subordinating conjunctions. COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS There are seven coordinating conjunctions in the English language. These are: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. In short FANBOYS to easily remember these conjunctions. For- is a conjuction used to indicate the reason why something happened.

Examples: Last summer, Martin took up voice lessons and joined the church choir. Martin is now good in singing and in playing instruments. Nor- is a coordinating conjunction that is used to support a negative statement. Examples: Mark is healthy because he does not smoke nor does he drink liquor. (Mark avoids smoking and drinking) The audience can hardly see the performers, nor can they hear them well. (The audience cannot see and they cannot hear the performers well.) But- is a conjunction that is used to indicate contrasting idea in the sentence. Examples: The house is beautiful, but it is rather small. We went to the museum, but it was already closed. The pair of shoes is not durable, but I like them. Or- is a coordinating conjunction that is used to indicate a choice, a possibility, or a refinement of the idea/s presented earlier in the sentence. Examples: Marie will have to do part-time work, or she will have to quit schooling. He either missed the 8 o’clock train, or he just decided not to join the trip anymore. We can stop working and go on our separate ways, or we can put our efforts together and rebuild our dreams as a team. Yet- is a conjunction that is used in the same way as the conjunction but. It is used to express contrast. It can be used to take the place of the word nevertheless or even. Examples: That piece of jewelry looks simpler than the one I bought, yet it is more expensive. Maggies’s gown is plain and simple yet elegant.
