A tag question or a question tag consists of two words: a helping verb and a pronoun. It is separated from the rest of the statement by a comma (,) ex. , isn’t it?2. If the statement is negative, the tag question is positive (affirmative). If the statement is positive, the tag question is negative.3. When a statement has no helping verb – only a main verb – follow these rules in forming a tag question: a. If the verb is in the present tense, use do or don’t, does or doesn’t and the appropriate pronoun. Ex. * Ana loves horses, does she? Ana is a girl so we use the pronoun she. There is no linking verb so we use does since our subject Ana is singular. * The children love animals, do they? Since the subject children is plural, we use the pronoun they. There is no linking verb so we use do because the subject is plural and in the present tense. b. If the verb is in the past tense, use did or didn’t and the appropriate pronoun. Ex * The animals in the zoo made the children happy, didn’t they? The verb made is in the past form so we used didn’t also because the statement is stated positively. The subject animals is plural so we use the pronoun they. 7

GRADE VI USING PREPOSITIONS AND PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES GETTING STARTED Every word in a sentence has a different function to perform. It connect ideas or show the relationship of the different words in a sentence. Prepositions and prepositional phrases show relationships of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in a sentence. Prepositions, although they are short minds, can be tricky. You really need to practice using them correctly. Let’s Acquire • prepositions and prepositional phrases 1F:\ \SIMs ENGLISH IV & VI\MISOSA SIM Eng.6, Vol 1 Mod\10-SIMS6-Eng.Using Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases.doc Printed: 10/1/2015 10:36:00 AM [Ferdie]

Study Time Do you know how the first eyeglasses looked? Read the selection below. Millions of people today wear some kind of eyeglasses to correct their vision. Even in ancient times many people used some type of aid for poor vision. In the thirteenth century, Marco Polo saw people in China wearing glasses. The first spectacles for farsighted people were used like a magnifying glass and held in the hand. Some of them were clamped on the nose. Some were strapped around the head. Finally, side pieces were added to them so they could be looped over the ears. A farsighted person might need one pair of glasses for distance and one for close work. Benjamin Franklin invented bifocals so that he could look at close objects and distant ones through the same pair of glasses. Why do millions of people today wear eyeglasses? (They wear eyeglasses to correct their vision) Where did Marco Polo see people wearing glasses in the thirteeth century? (Marco Polo saw people wearing glasses in China.) 2F:\ \SIMs ENGLISH IV & VI\MISOSA SIM Eng.6, Vol 1 Mod\10-SIMS6-Eng.Using Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases.doc Printed: 10/1/2015 10:36:00 AM [Ferdie]

Why did Benjamin Franklin invent bifocals? (Benjamin Franklin invented bifocals so that he could look at close objects and distant ones through the same pair of glasses.) You learned that a phrase is a group of words used much like a single word. Notice the underlined phrases in the sentences below. Even in ancient times many people used some type of aid for poor vision. In the thirteenth century, Marco Polo saw people in China wearing glasses. What word begins each phrase? (The phrases all begin with prepositions: in, for, at, through, of) What are the phrases called? (They are called prepositional phrases) The preposition in in the prepositional phrase in ancient times shows its relationship with the word ancient. Times is its object. In the thirteenth century, century is the object of the preposition in. At close objects, objects is the object of the preposition at. A prepositional phrase can also act as a modifier. See how a prepositional phrase can act as a modifier. My mother collects cook books. My mother collects books about cooking. What word do the words cook and about cooking modify? (books) If the word modified is a noun, how does the word or the phrase act, as adjective or as adverb? (as adjective) Look at these sentences. Notice how the prepositional phrase is used. The informal settlers live under the bridge. They live by a hand-to-mouth existence. 3F:\ \SIMs ENGLISH IV & VI\MISOSA SIM Eng.6, Vol 1 Mod\10-SIMS6-Eng.Using Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases.doc Printed: 10/1/2015 10:36:00 AM [Ferdie]

What word does the phrase under the bridge, modify? (The phrase modifies the word live.

Sometimes we can avoid using too many words when speaking and writing by using compoundsubjects. We can combine two sentences by using a compound subject and changing thepredicate to fit in. See how this works in these sentences. 1. (a) Maria collects legends. (b)Josefa collects legends, too. 2. Maria and Josefa collect legends. What do you notice in sentence 2? (The subjects are combined. The verb is in the plural form.) What word is used to connect the subjects? (and is used to connect the subjects) Why can’t we use the verb form collects in this sentence?

Study Time Are you familiar with some famous scientists? Find out who they were and what they did that made their names go down the history.Orville and Wilbur were brothers. They invented the first flying machine. Do you know what a flying machine is? Right! It’s an airplane. Galileo Galilei, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and Gregor Mendel were great scientists,were they? Do you know what scientists do? They observe, study, research, experiment, and discover many things in nature. Do you wish to be a scientist someday? 3

Let us take a closer look.Galileo observed Antonie vanGalilei researched Leeuwenhoek discovered experimented Gregor MendelStudy the Venn Diagram above. Find out what each person did as a scientists.Then read the following sentences. 1. Galilei and Leeuwenhoek observed and researched objects through eye instruments. 2. Mendel and Leeuwenhoek researched and experimented to verify their studies. 3. Mendel or Galileo researched and discovered many facts about nature.Now answer the questions below:Write the answers in your notebook. 4

1. Who observed and researched objects through eye instruments? 2. Who researched and experimented to verify their studies? 3. What did Mendel and Galilei do? 4. What did Mendel, Galilei, and Leeuwenhoek do?Let us take a look at the sentences.How many names of persons or proper nouns are talked about in each of the sentences? There are two or more single subjects as in: Galilei and Leeuwenhoek Mendel and Leeuwenhoek Mendel or Leeuwenhoek Galilei, Mendel, and Leeuwenhoek Two or more single subjects can be joined together to form the compound subject of thesentence. They can be joined by the connectives and or or. Study these sentences. Note the undelined words. Leeuwenhoek studied and observed bacteria. He constructed and used his own microscope. How many simple predicates or verbs are found in each sentence? The underlined wordgroups show there are two or more simple predicates or verbs. studied and observed constructed and usedWhat words join the simple predicates. The connectives and and or, and sometimes but join the simple predicates to form acompound predicate. One scientist tried but failed in his experiment. He studied but missed the most important part of the lesson.Now, study the sentence pattern of the sentence below. Father and Mother attended the party and brought us some goodies. What is the subject of the sentence? The predicate? 5

A simple sentence, therefore, may also have a compound subject and a compound predicate. PRACTICE TIME A. Tell whether the sentence has a compound subject or a compound predicate. Write the answers in your notebook. Example: I saw and read a book about Helen Keller. (compound predicate) 1. Helen Keller became deaf and started becoming blind at the age of two. 2. Her sight and her hearing were impaired by illness. 3. Her teacher and her mother helped Helen cope with her deafness and blindness. 4. Helen studied and graduated from college with honors. B. Draw one line under each compound subject. Draw two lines under each compound predicate. Do this in your notebook. Example: At times, Helen watched and disturbed persons talking. 1. She mumbled and acted frantically. 2. Helen kicked and screamed almost endlessly. 3. The cook’s child and an old dog were her constant companions. 4. Martha and Helen taught their dog sign language. 5. Belle, the dog sat and slept always. C. Read each sentence carefully.

Making and collecting stamps are my favorite hobbies. 1. Either magazines or newspapers keep me busy. 2. Neither my sisters nor my brothers can disturb me. 3. Erica and Elisa help me in the garden. 6

The coach and his players5. The birds and the bees c. move from flower to flower and pollinate each one. d. did wonderful tricks and delighted the spectators. e. worked patiently and saved countless lives.Key Points Two or more simple predicates can also be joined together to form the compound predicate of a sentence. They can be joined by and, or or. A compound subject is made up of two or more simple subjects joined by and or or. A compound predicate is made up of two or more verbs joined by and, or, or but. 7

Rules on Subject-Verb Agreement 1. If and joins a compound subject, use a plural verb or the base form in the present tense. 2. If or or nor joins singular compound subjects, use a singular verb or the s form. 3. If or or nor joins plural compound subjects, use a plural verb or the base form. 4.
