LESSON 1- Common - Proper Nouns
Proper nouns are words that name a specific person, place, thing or idea. Proper nouns are capitalized so the reader can tell them apart from common nouns. Common nouns do not name a specific person, place, thing or idea. Common nouns are not capitalized unless they are at the beginning of a sentence or part of a title.

LESSON 2-PLURAL AND COLLECTIVE NOUNS
Plural nouns refer to more than one person, place or thing. Regular plural nouns are formed by adding either an-s or an –es to the singular forms Examples: cake-cakes Church-churches Irregular plural nouns have no consistent form and should be memorized. Examples: knife-knives Man-men Loaf-loaves Name five other plural nouns with irregular forms. 1._________________ 2._________________ 3._________________ 4._________________ 5._________________

LESSON 4-POSSESSIVE NOUNS
Possessive nouns are forms of nouns that show ownership. A noun is possessive if the phrase can be changed to say that an item or idea belongs to someone or something. Example: Caitlin’s car is new. ( The new car belongs to Caitlin). 1.When we want to show that something belongs to somebody or something, we usually add an apostrophe + s ('s) to a singular noun and an apostrophe (') to a plural noun, for example:
the boy's ball (one boy)
the boys' ball (two or more boys)
Notice that the number of balls does not matter. The structure is influenced by the possessor and not the possessed.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 11
one ball
one boy
more than one ball
the boy's ball the boy's balls
more than one boy the boys' ball the boys' balls
2.The structure can be used for a whole phrase: 
the man next door's mother (the mother of the man next door)

the Queen of England's poodles (the poodles of the Queen of England)
Although we can use of to show possession, it is more usual to use possessive 's. The following phrases have the same meaning, but #2 is more usual and natural: the boyfriend of my sister my sister's boyfriend YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 12
1. Proper Nouns (Names) We very often use possessive 's with names:
This is Mary's car.
Where is Ram's telephone?
Who took Anthony's pen?
I like Tara's hair.
4.When a name ends in s, we usually treat it like any other singular noun, and add 's:
This is Charles's chair.
But it is possible (especially with older, classical names) to just add the apostrophe ':
Who was Jesus' father?
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 13
5.Irregular Plurals Some nouns have irregular plural forms without s (man → men). To show possession, we usually add 's to the plural form of these nouns:
singular noun
plural noun
my child's dog
my children's dog
the man's work
the men's work
the mouse's cage
the mice's cage
a person's clothes people's clothes

LESSON 5-PERSONAL PRONOUNS
Pronouns are words that stand for nouns or take the place of nouns. Pronouns are used by writers to avoid the awkward repetition of a noun within a sentence or paragraph.
Personal Pronouns
A personal pronoun is a pronoun that is associated primarily with a particular person, in the grammatical sense. When discussing “person” in terms of the grammatical, the following rules apply:
First person, as in “I”
Second person, as in “you”
Third person, as in “It, he, she” Personal pronouns may take on various forms depending on number (singular or plural for the most part). They may also take different forms depending on case, gender, or formality. It is important to note that personal pronouns may refer to objects, animals, or people.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 17
Personal pronouns provide us with the following information:
The person – Who is speaking?
The number – Is the pronoun plural or singular?
The gender – Is the pronoun feminine, masculine, or neuter? Examples of Personal Pronouns The word “he” is an example of a personal pronoun. He is third person (because he is the person being spoken about), singular, and masculine. The word “we” is another example of a personal pronoun. We is first person (because we are speaking as a group), plural, and neuter. In the following examples, personal pronouns are italicized. You need to stop lying to me. We would love for you to join us. Come look at my cat! He has climbed to the top of that tree.

Page 20
What is a subject pronoun? A subjective pronoun is exactly what it sounds like: a pronoun that takes the place of a noun as the subject of a sentence. Examples of Subjective Pronouns The subject, or subjective, pronouns are easy to remember: I, you, she, he, it, they, and we. These pronouns are used to replace the name of a person, animal, or object, and to do the action suggested by the verb in the sentence Should we go swimming before or after lunch? I really like pizza. It is easy to understand. Would you prefer hot cocoa or peppermint tea? They all lived happily ever after.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 21
What is an Objective Pronoun? An objective pronoun is a type of personal pronoun that is normally used as a grammatical object, either as the direct or indirect object of a verb, or as the object of a preposition. Examples of Objective Pronouns Objective pronouns are easy to remember: Me, him, her, us, it, you, them, whom, and what. While some of these pronouns are the same as subject pronouns, they are used differently in sentences. The object pronouns in the following examples are italicized. I want her to listen. Stop laughing at me. I told him to stay home and study instead of going out.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE

Comparing Subject and Object Pronouns Use the following table to compare subject and object pronouns. Notice that some subject pronouns are identical to certain object pronouns. Subjective

LESSON 6-POSSESIVE PRONOUNS
We use possessive pronouns to refer to a specific person/people or thing/things (the "antecedent") belonging to a person/people (and sometimes belonging to an animal/animals or thing/things). We use possessive pronouns depending on:
number: singular (eg: mine) or plural (eg: ours)
person: 1st person (eg: mine), 2nd person (eg: yours) or 3rd person (eg: his)
gender: male (his), female (hers)

LESSON 8- PRONOUNS IN TAG QUESTIONS
Tag Questions You speak English, don't you? A tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. We use tag questions to ask for confirmation. They mean something like: "Is that right?" or "Do you agree?" They are very common in English. The basic structure of a tag question is:
positive statement negative tag
Snow is white,
isn't it?
negative statement positive tag
You don't like me,
do you?
Notice that the tag repeats the auxiliary verb (or main verb when be) from the statement and changes it to negative or positive.

I’AM LOVED
READ TO KNOW:
A THOUSAND PAILS OF WATER by RONALD ROY Have you ever tried doing something you find impossible to accomplish alone? Find out how the character in our story was able to do such an impossible task. You lived in a village where people fished to make their living. One day, Yukio went to the sea to play. Small creatures scurried from under his feet in the tide pools. Large scavenger birds creamed him from the sky as if to say “Bring us food!” The Yukio saw a whale that had become lodged between some rocks and was left behind when the tide went out. The large tail flukes beat the sand, helplessly. The eye, as big as Yukio’s hand, Rolled in fright. Yukio knew that the whale would not live long out of the sea. “I will help you, sir,” he said. But now? The whale was huge. Like a temple. Yukio raced to the water. He saw that the tide was coming in but very slow. He knew that if he could keep the whale wet for a while, the tide would soon come in and help YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 35
the whale swim away. The sun was so hot. Yukio filled a pail with water and threw it over the great head. “You are so big and my pail is so small” he cried. “But I will throw a thousand pails of water over you before I stop.” Yukio knew he must wet every part of the sea for the whale or it would die in the sun. He made many trips to the sea for water , counting as he went. He threw four pails on the body, then four on the tail, and then tree on the head. There was a little shade on one side of the big prisoner. Yukio sat there, out of breath, his heart pounding. Then he looked in the whale’s eye and remembered his promised. Yukio went back to the sea
and stooped to fill his pail. How many had he filled so far? He had lost count but he knew he must not stop. Then, Yukio fell, the precious water spilling from his pail.He cried, and his tears disappeared into the sand. A wave touched his foot, as if to say, “Get up and carry more water. I am coming, but very slow”. Yukio filled his pail over. His arms and back hurt, YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 36
but he threw and threw He fell again, but this time he did not get up. Suddenly, he felt himself being lifted. “You have worked hard, little one. Now let us help.” His grandfather him in the shade of one of the rocks. Watched his grandfather throw his first pail of water and go for another. Yukio wanted to scream, “hurry!” but his grandfather’s steps were slow because he was old. Then Yukio heard voices. His father and the village people were running towards the sea. They carried pails and buckets and anything that would hold water. Some of the villagers removed their jackets and soaked them in the sea. These they placed on the whale’s burning skin. Soon the whale was wet all over. Slowly, the sea came closer and closer. At last it covered the huge tail. Yukio knew the whale would be saved. His father came and stood by him. “Thank you father,” Yukio said, “for bringing the village people to help.” “You are strong and good,” his father said. “But to save a whale, many hands must carry the water.” Now the whale was moving with each new face. Suddenly a great one lifted it free from the rocks. It was still for a movement, then with a flip of its tail, swam out to the sea. The villagers watched silently as the whale swam farther and farther from their shore. Then they turned and walked toward the village-

The Value/Virtue: Sometimes the task we have to do seems too difficult or too big for us. When we feel that the work is too heavy, all we need to do is call for help. Call on God. Call on your friends and relatives. Remember that there is never a task too heavy for arms that carry a load for other.
What Makes a Good Personal Narrative?
A wee-written personal narrative has the following things. Topic- what is the topic of a personal narrative? The topic of a personal narrative is you, the writer. A personal narrative might be about something that you did or something that happened to you. It might also tell how you feel about something. A personal narrative can be about almost anything, but it should be a true story. When you write a personal narrative, you should tell what happened just as you remember it. Point of View-personal narratives are always told from the writer’s point of view. Time Order-when you write a personal narrative, tell about the events in the order that happened.

Reading Comprehension Here is an example of a personal narrative. Read it.
The Scary Walk to School “Goodbye, Mom!” Sara and I said as we walked out of the kitchen door. We held hands, swinging and skipping. I could feel Mom’s eyes watching me as I walked out the door. “Don’t worry, Mom. We’ll be fine.” I said. She smiled, but I could tell she was a little nervous for us to be walking by ourselves. Sara and I walked down the pathway to the sidewalk. “Are you excited for your first day of school, Sara?” I asked. She smiled and said yes. I held Sara’s hand very tight. “I’ll show you the way,” I said. I was proud to be walking my sister by myself. We walked down the sidewalk. We passed big trees and a garden. Just then, I heard a growl and saw a dog walking down the street. I didn’t see its owner anywhere. It was big and fierce looking, with long, sharp teeth. “GRRR!!!” it growled. I didn’t want Sara to get scared. Sara grabbed my hand tighter. My hand started to get sweaty. “I’m scared, Julie” she cried. “GRRR!!!” The dog stepped closer. It was as big as a pony with red eyes and huge teeth.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 41
“Be brave, be brave,” I said to myself. I grabbed Sara’s hand and shouted: “RUN!” We took off down the road as fast as we could. We could hear the dog behind us. We ran faster and faster. I thought we would never get to school. After a while, we saw the red doors of the school. We were almost there. “Come on,” I said, dragging Sara along. We reached the steps of the school and saw that Mrs. Crowley was holding the door open for us. We jumped into the doorway and almost fell to the ground. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. “We made it!” I said to Sara. Inside, I felt proud. We were safe. I gave Sara a high-five and we both smiled.

Lesson 2-Beginning, Middle, and Ending A personal narrative is a story. Because it is a story, it should have a beginning, a middle, and an ending. Beginning-the beginning of s personal narrative tells the reader what the story is about. A good beginning grabs the readers’ attention and makes him or her want to read more. Middle- the middle narrative is important because this is where you tell the story. The middle is usually the longest part of a narrative.
Ending- the ending tells how the story comes out. A good ending might leave readers with a smile or new idea to think about.

Many people have a dog for a pet. Some people have cats. Which is better? I say dog. Maybe you say cat. I just might be able to persuade you in the following. Dogs are great companions for lonely people. They can go for a rousing walk in the park, or a good long nap. Playing games of catch or fetch every day makes good fun. Even a jog on the hottest day could even be enjoyable too. Dogs don't just provide fun though. They can also provide protection. Dogs are very intelligent. They can be trained to find people or save them. Some don't even need to be trained. For instance, if someone is trying to break in, your dog might bark and scare them off. Dogs are great for many different reasons. Overall, dogs are awesome pets to have. Have I convinced you though? If you are, then great! If you’re not then that’s okay. It's really up to you. So which one is it going to be?

Lesson 33-Compound Sentences Making a Compound Sentence
Sometimes you might find two sentences in your writing that are related to one another. Do these three things to join two sentences into one compound sentence. Change the period after the first sentence to a comma. Pick the word that best fits between the sentences. Use and, or, or but. Put that word after the comma. Change the capital letter at the beginning of the second sentence to a lowercase letter. If the first word is the word I or a proper noun, don’t change it. A proper noun and the word I always begin with a capital letter. Check that booth sentences are complete before you join them. Also be sure that the ideas go together. It’s possible to join any two sentences, but not all sentences belong together as a compound sentence.

Lesson 36-What Makes Good Realistic Fiction?
Fiction is a made-up story. Realistic fiction tells about people and events that could be real, even though they are not. Adventure stories and mysteries can be realistic fiction. But they are realistic only if they could really happen. Realistic fiction could be about a boy sneaking into a circus tent to find the missing dog. Characters- the characters in realistic fiction are usually people. They might be teachers, clowns, or taxi drivers. The character that the story is about is called the main character. Sometimes there is a group of main characters. Setting- the setting is the time and place of the story. The setting might be a backyard or an airport in China. The setting also includes the time. Realistic takes place in the past or in the present. Problem- fiction is interesting when characters have a problem they need to solve. One character might need to learn to do a flying judo kick for a contest.

Lesson 43-Skits
A skit is a story acted out in front of an audience. A skit has characters, a problem, and a plot. A skit also has dialog. The actors move and talk as the characters would. The audience watches the skit to find out what happens. Characters and Problems- a skit is mostly dialog. Each character talks in a different way. If you think about your characters first, it will be easier to write dialog for them. Plot- the plot is what happens in a skit. The beginning of the skit tells the audience what the problem is. The middle tells what the characters do to solve their problem. Writing a Skit- skits are written for the actors to read. The writer’s skit will help the actors know what to say and do when they perform.

Lesson 9
Simple Present Tense
The tense of a verb shows when an action or a state of being takes place. A verb in the simple present tense tells about something that is always true or about an action that happens again and again. Whales swim in the ocean. Whales eat fish. A whale leaps from the water.
The verb swim, eat, and leaps are in the simple present tense. The verbs tell things that are true about whales. They tell about actions a whale does again and again. A verb in simple present tense ends in –s when the subject is a singular noun or the pronoun he, she, or it. A verb in the simple present tense does not end in –s when the subject is plural.
Which sentence is in the simple present tense? a. Amy always watches for whales at the aquarium. b. I saw a whale at the aquarium.

Simple Past Tense
A verb in the simple past tense tells about something that happened in the past. Dinosaurs lived thousands of years ago. Last year we studied about dinosaurs. The teacher showed a video about T. rex.
The verbs lived, studied, and showed are in the simple past. Most past tense verbs end with –ed. Remember that irregular verbs in the past do not end in –ed. We discussed dinosaurs in class. (regular verb) I read a book on dinosaurs last year. (irregular verb)
Here are some spelling rules for –ed endings. If a verb in e, just add –d: name + d = named If a verb end in y following a consonant, change the y to I and add –ed: try + ed = tried. If a verb ends in a consonant following a vowel, double the consonant and add the ending: wrap + ed= wrapped YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE

Lesson 11
Future Tenses
The word will and the phrase going to are ways to express something that will take place in future. Both forms are used to talk about predictions and to express future tense.
Many families will donate food to the food pantry. The supermarket is going to be busy tomorrow.
The helping verb will is used with the present to form a future tense; for example, will + help = will help. The helping verb will is often when someone agrees to do something soon.
I will go to the supermarket with my parents.
When the future is expressed with going to, the verb am, is or are precedes going to, which is followed by the present form of the verb; for example, is + going to + make = is going to make. The form going to is often used when someone wishes to express an action that has already been planned. He is going to buy canned goods.

Lesson 4- Types of paragraph
Chronological order. The sequences of event should be determined by the order by happen in time. This type of organization is often used in storytelling. It is also use in how-to paragraph where as step-bystep explanation is needed. A recipe, for example, should be written this way.

In descriptive paragraph that describe a place, the written has to decide whether to go front to back., left to right, right to left, bottom to top, or outside to inside. Least to most important. Arrange your ideas this way. Going from the least important to the biggest, most exciting, important details lets the reader get the full impact or effect of what you are saying. Just as in a story, the most interesting part is the climax.
General to specific. If you were to report to your class about reptiles, you would first give general information that YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 192
is related to all reptiles. Then, you could talk more specifically about snake, turtles, lizards, crocodiles, or dinosaurs. For instance, what makes them different from each other or examples of each type of animals. Cause to effect. These types of organization are useful when writing about history and social studies or science. For example, it can be used to write about how the invention of the cell phone has had various consequences, both good and bad. Effect to cause. This type or organization tries to answer question solve mysteries, or to provide a scientific explanation for something. For example, an explanation of the formation of the Chocolate Hills, could start with what we see now and then it could trace back to the event that cause the hills to from. A flashback is another example of this technique.

some sort of pallet that was borne on the shoulders of men. There was a print of drowsy women with fans entitled “Siesta Hour”. An etching of a mother and child hung in a small frame. Katipuneros and heroes were immortalized by the artist’s hand. These give hints that the artist Benedicto Cabrera found the Filipino spirit: fiercely nationalistic, socially-aware, and freedom-loving.

Lesson 5-Similes and Metaphors
A simile compares two things using the words like or as.
Example: The ballerinas in their white tutus are as graceful as swans. Renee was like a dazzling burst of sunshine in her bright yellow gown.
A metaphor takes a more direct approach by stating that one thing is the other.
Example: “Rows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air, and feathered canyons, everywhere, I’ve looked as clouds that way…”

Lesson 6 -Writing News Stories
The headline, or title of the news story, usually states the main idea of the story. The journalist will often write most of the necessary information about the “who, what, when, where, why” of a story in the first sentences or lead. The lead summaries the story, which can go into greater detail later. News story are report of current event or recent event. For a school or class paper, you might want report on field trips, the visit of a special personality, school activity, likes a book fair, science fair, participating in activity outside of school, or some remarkable event likes the occurrences of an earthquake. An editorial or an commentary goes beyond the effect in the states the writer’s opinion. This type is writing tries to persuade reader to think or believes s the writer does. There is a need for this type of writing, but it should be written as undisguised opinion, never as news. Human interest stories that focus of life events. some newspaper or magazine story present “how-to’s” such as recipe of crafts. Book and movie review can be enlightening. Interviews of different personalities can also YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 201
be interesting, as the interview does research on the person to the interviewed and prepares a list of question that reader might want to know about. If your school or class makes plan to have a regular paper, (quarterly, monthly, or fortnightly) you can plan to run interviews of different people: teachers, authors, school staff, parents, or even a new student.
1. In the news story above, does the lead inform you of at least four of the five wh-question? ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________

Lesson 7- The form of a Personal letter
The heading contains the writer’s address and the date the letter is written. The heading is placed in column on the top right corner of the paper. The address may be the writer’s residence.
Salutation or greeting is address to the intended recipient of the letter. It is placed on the left hand top of the paper spaced down from the heading. The greeting is begun with the capital letter and punctuated by a comma. You may personalize your salutation as desired; the degree of formality or informality is dictated by the closeness of the relationship between the sender and the recipient. Example My dearest Aunt Dorothy, Dearest cousin Lynlyn, Dear BFF Sylvia, YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Page 204
The body- of the letter contains what the writer wishes to convey. It may be brief and concise, or as a long and chatty as the writer wants. The content is determined by the type of the personal letter. Complimentary closing- contains some pleasantry or else identifies the writer. Put the complimentary closing a space or two below the body of the letter and align it with the heading, ending with a comma. As in the greeting the relationship between the writer and the recipient will determine the formality of the closing. Example Fondly, Your loving grandson,
The signature is the name of the writer, not the identifying signature on check as required by banks. Signing a letter as you would a check might pose a big puzzle to the recipient.
