GRADE VLet’s Focus: CHANGING STATEMENTS TO QUESTIONSLet’s Do It: forLet’s Look Ahead: What is a sentence? I hope you still remember that a sentence is a group of words that express a complete thought. I believe that you have learned that there are different kinds of sentences. There are sentences that ask questions too.Let’s Acquire: In this module you will learn to: • change a statement to yes – no question and vice versa • use reflexive pronouns You will surely enjoy your journey with me. You may start now. Best of luck! 1

Activity 1 Let’s Review Read the sentences below. Identify what kind of sentence each number presents. Write D for declarative, IN for interrogative, EX for exclamatory and IM for imperative. Do this in your notebook. 1. Who knows the answer to the question? 2. An ideal teacher has the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of Job, and the courage of David. 3. Cultivate a cheerful and relaxed attitude at meal time. 4. Find beauty in everything you see. 5. What can be more noble than giving one’s life for a friend? 6. I am looking forward to this momentous event. 7. Mornings in Virac always make me smile. 8. What a beautiful sunset! 9. Have you visited the famous Puerto Galera? 10. Remember me. 2

Activity 2 Let’s StudyA. Read the story below Petita sat beside her Tita Jo, waiting for her mother to come from work. “Do you like to hear a story?” Tita Jo asked. She was sleepy, nevertheless, she listened to the story. “Once upon a time,” Tita Jo began, “there was a young and hardworking fisherman. One day, he caught a big fish. He was so excited about his catch. But as the fisherman was about to hold the fish, he heard it speak to him.” “Please, kind fisherman, don’t take me out of the water. I’ll die if you do. I promise to grant whatever you wish. Just let me remain here!” The fisherman was surprised, but he was not frightened. He had already heard about the talking fish. He said, “All right, I will set you free.” “Did the fisherman make a wish? Did he become rich?” asked Petita. “The fisherman made a wish.”, Tita Jo confirmed. “He asked the fish to help him have a better catch each day, so he and his wife won’t go hungry anymore.” ‘Is that all?’ the fish asked. “You don’t want a big house, a car or money?” “No, my wife prefers a simple life. As long as we have something to eat each day, that’s enough,” the fisherman explained. “Rest assured your wish is granted,” the fish said, then the fish soon disappeared. Adapted Grade School English pp. 708-210 3

Answer the following questions. 1. How will you describe the fisherman? 2. What did he catch one day? 3. Why did he set the fish free? 4. What was his wish? 5. If you were the fisherman, what would you wish for?Let’s talk it over. Note the difference between the sentencesbelow: 1. The fisherman was young and hardworking. 2. Was the fisherman young and hardworking? The two sentences contain the same words. However, the firstsentence is a statement while the other is a question. Note thatonly the position of the linking verb was is changed. It is transferredin the beginning of the sentence followed by the subject insentence 2, which is a question. A question mark is used topunctuate the second sentence.Try changing these statements into questions. 1. Mariel is staying with her mother. 2. The children are busy flying kites every afternoon. 3. The boys were getting ready for the camping.Are your answers the same as the following? 1. Is Mariel staying with her mother? 2. Are the children busy flying kites every afternoon? 3. Were the boys getting ready for the camping? That was really easy. Just remember to begin your sentenceswith a capital letter and put the correct punctuation mark. There are statements with no linking verbs, instead an actionword is present. In such cases, we use the infinitives, does, do or did.Find out when are you going to use these infinitives one by one. 4

When do we use does? Study the pair of sentences below. The son of the president visits the Pope. Does the son of the president visit the Pope? How many subjects are there? Is the verb in the present tense?What happened to the verb when the statement was changed toa question? Our sentence is in the present tense with a singular subject. Inchanging it to a question we simply add does before the sentenceand change the verb into base form. Again, a question mark isnecessary. When do we use do? Examine the example below. The presidents of the states gather in the cathedral. Do the presidents of the states gather in the cathedral? How many subjects are there? We have a plural subject. Thesentence is in the present tense too. What changes did you notice? We simply add do before the sentence and we affix thequestion mark. That’s easy! When do we use did? The presidents of the state gathered in the cathedral. Did the presidents of the state gather in the cathedral? What changes can you notice? We use did for sentences with action words in the past tense. Inthe question, gathered is changed to gather. Take Note: * Does, do, and did always go with the base form of the verb. 5

Try changing these statements into questions. Martha buys herself a treat. Martha and Mary buy themselves a treat. Martha bought herself a treat. Compare your answers with the questions below. I hope your answers are the same with these. Does Martha buy herself a treat? Do Martha and Mary buy themselves a treat? Did Martha buy herself a treat?Now that you have learned changing statements to questions, it will beeasier for you to do the opposite. Let us now try changing questions tostatements. Study the pair of sentences below.Question : Are lights used as added attractions to holiday celebrations?Statement : Are lights used as added attractions to holiday celebration. What changes occur when the question is changed to statement? The word are which is used as an interrogative in the questionchanges its position to function as a linking verb in the statement. Itthen follows the subject of the sentence. The question mark is droppedand replaced with a period. The same rule is applied to questions that begins with is, are, was,were, am, can, must, might, shgll, will, should, could, liked or would 6

Try changing these questions to statements to see how well youhave understood. Do this in your notebook. 1. Can you clean your own room? 2. Is Starra working in Singapore? 3. Am I supposed to call the office today? 4. Were the players practicing last night? 5. Will Margot spend her Christmas with us? Your answers must be similar to these. 1. You can clean your own room. 2. Starra is working in Singapore. 3. I am supposed to call the office today. 4. The players were practicing last night. 5. Margot will spend her Christmas with us. Let’s move on. We’ll now discuss changing questions withinterrogatives does, do, and did into statements. For Does Questions:Question : Does Lola go to church every day?Statement : Lola goes to church every day. What happens when the question is changed into a statement? Take note that we have a singular subject (Lola) and a singularsubject requires a singular verb (s- form of the verb). When wetransform the question into statement, we drop Does, change the verbinto s- form (go → goes) and replace the question mark with a period. 7

For Do Questions:Question : Do cellphones dominate the world of communication technology?Statement : Cellphones dominate the world of communication technology. What changes happen when a Do – question is transformed to astatement? Does the verb change? Notice that “cellphones” is a plural subjects. “Dominate”is our verb.A plural subject requires the base form of the verb. Since the verb inthe question is already in the base form we simply drop Do and startthe statement with a capital letter. Then, we replace the question markwith a period. That’s very easy. For Did Questions:Question : Did the fisherman make a wish?Statement : The fisherman made a wish. What changes are made in the statement? Did signifies an action done in the past. Therefore, the verb ischanged into past tense (make → made) in the statement. Did isdropped and a period is used to punctuate the statement. Go over the rules again and try to transform Does, Do and Did –questions into statements. Write your answers in your notebook.’ 1. Does Judy give herself a break? 2. Do Mila and Myra give themselves a break? 3. Did Mike and Bryan give themselves a break? Your answers must be similar to these: 1. Judy gives herself a break. 2. Mila and Myra give themselves a break. 3. Mike and Bryan gave themselves a break. 8

B. From the sentences in the previous page, can you identify the pronoun used? Make a guess. The pronouns herself and themselves are used in the sentences.These are known as compound personal pronouns. Compound personal pronouns are made of the personalpronouns and the suffix –self or selves to certain forms. Theformation are as follows. Study them. Singular PluralFirst Person: myself ourselvesSecond Person: yourself yourselvesThird Person: himself herself themselves itself oneself Compound personal pronouns are also referred to as reflexivepronouns. Read the sentences below to see how reflexive pronouns areused. 1. I hurt myself. as (object of the verb hurt) 2. They benefit themselves as (object of the verb benefit) 3. He shaves himself as (object of the verb himself) 4. Vince can think for himself as (object of the preposition for) 5. She is not herself today. as (predicate nominative)How do the reflexive pronouns function in each sentence? In sentences 1,2, and 3 the reflexive pronouns function asobject of the verb. In sentence 4, the reflexive pronoun functions as object of thepreposition while in sentence 5 the reflexive pronoun functions aspredicative nominative. 9

Can you pick-out the reflexive pronouns in the sentences and tell how each functions? Try these. 1. John Jorge hit himself in the eye. (receiver of the action hit) 2. The sick cat tries to stand by itself. (object of the preposition by) 3. I am not myself today. (refers back to the subject I) I hope your answers are the same with these: 1. himself – object of the verb 2. itself – object of the preposition 3. myself – predicate nominativeActivity 3 Let’s PracticeA.

The reflexive pronoun may be used as the object of the verb or preposition or as a predicate nominative. It is formed from a personal pronoun plus –self/selves. 11

Remember the following in changing statements to questions: a. For sentence with linking/auxillary verbs. Write the linking verb in the beginning of the sentence followed by the subject and the remaining words of the sentence. Always begin your sentence with a capital letter and end with a question mark. b. For sentences with action words, write does , do, or did first before the sentence, then write a question mark at the end of the sentence. Be sure to write the main verb in the base or simple form.Activity 4 Let’s Check A. Change the statements into questions.

It stands forPerson, Animal, Place, Event, Thing. A child like you should learn moreabout their names. Talking of names of anyone of them means talking ofnouns. Today, you will be reading several selections where you will liftexamples of nouns. At the same time, you will be guided to identifyyourself with a character in a story provided in this module. I bet a kid like you loves puppets right? That’s the reasonwhy I believe you’ll always remember our dear friend NOUN. NOUN – is the name of any PAPET. P erson A nimal P lace E vent T hingLet’s Acquire: In this module you will learn the following: • Form the plural of irregular nouns • Use plural form of irregular nouns in talking about oneself/others • Identify oneself with a character in a storyYou may start now, Good luck in your new adventure! 1

Acitivity 1: Let’s Review Review Time A. Read the paragraph below and write the nouns that you will come across. Write them only once. Do this in your notebook. MAYA THE BIRD AND TAHONG THE MUSSEL Tahong, the mussel, was opening its shell to bask in the sun when Maya, the bird, pecked at it. Tahong, the mussel, was quick. It clamped down Maya’s beak and held it fast. “If it doesn’t rain today or tomorrow,” said Maya, “there will be a dead mussel lying here.” “If you can’t pry loose today or tomorrow,” retorted Tahong, “there will be a dead bird here, too.” As neither of them would give way, a passing fisherman caught them both. You should have spotted at least eight nouns. Haven’t you? 2

Activity 2: Let’s Study Study Time Study the poem below. FUNNY LANGUAGE We’ll begin with box, the plural is boxes But the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese Yet the plural of moose could never be meese. You may find a lone mouse, or a whole rest of mice But the plural of house is houses, not hice If the plural of man should always be men Why is the plural of pan, pans and not pen? The cow in the plural maybe called cows or kine But the plural of vow is vows never vine If I speak at a foot and you show your two feet When I give you a boot, will a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth Why is the plural of booth called booths not beeth? We speak of brother, make it two becomes brethren But though we say mother, we never say methren. Is it true that English can confuse you and me? I would love to discover the farther side of thee Learning the language would be fun, you will see We’ll deal with English as funny as can be.
