III PROCEDURE
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
DAILY ROUTINE
Good morning, class! Good morning, Sir!

To start our day, let us pray first. May I call

on Monica to lead us a short prayer and to greet
everyone. (Monica leads the prayer.)
Good morning, Sir! Good morning,
classmates!
Good morning, too! Everyone responds, “Good morning, too!”
You may now take your sit. Thank you, Sir!

Who is absent today? None, Sir.

Very good, class! It seems that you are all
eager to learn a new lesson, aren’t you? Yes, we are.
.
A. Motivation
Before we formally start our discussion, we
will have an activity first. I will divide you into
five groups. May I request the ten top
performing students in this class to stand while
those who are not standing please count off 1-5. (The students count off 1-5.)
If I mention your group please stand and
form a circle.
For group 1, your leaders are your top 1 and
top 10. (Group 1 stands and forms a circle.)
For group two, your leaders are your top 2
and top 9. (Group 2 stands and forms a circle.)
For group 3, your leaders are your top 3 and
top 8. (Group 3 stands and forms a circle.)
For group 4, your leaders are your top 4 and
top 7. (Group 4 stands and forms a circle.)
For group 5, your leaders are your top 5 and
top 6. (Group 5 stands and forms a circle.)
 I will play one of the prominent songs of
Bruno Mars titled “Just the Way You Are”
Your task is to write down the pronouns that
you will encounter in the lyrics of the song
using the strips of paper. Take note that every
correct pronoun is equivalent to 1 point. The
summary of your group’s score will be added to
your individual score later. Everyone should
sing the song.

Is my instruction clear? Yes, Sir.

Alright, then sharpen your eyes and ears as I
play the song. (Students do the task.)

Excellent! It seems that you are serenading

me in my wedding day.
With that kind of voice, I can say that you
have a future in the music industry. But at this
point, please exchange your output to the other
group for us to assess if your answers are
correct.

Class, what are the pronouns that you

encountered in the lyrics of the song? Her, she, I, me, your, them, you

Brilliant! As I have mentioned, every

correct pronoun is tantamount to 1 point.
Leaders, please give your output to me in order
for us to tally your scores. Okay, Sir.

Did you enjoy the activity, class? Yes, Sir.

B. Presentation
Class, what are the words that I have asked
you to write? Pronouns, Sir.

Very good! Daisy, do you have any insight

about pronouns? Yes, Sir. Pronouns take the place of nouns.

Good! Class, pronouns are “noun

substitutes” or words that refer to nouns.

Apart from the words that were mentioned a

while ago, can you give me other examples of
pronouns?
Yes, Paula. His, hers, theirs, mine, my, it, Sir.
Thank you, Paula. Class, let’s give her two
claps. (The students clap.)

Class, in trial court there are cases to be

solved while in English there are cases of
pronouns that we should master.

C. Discussion
So, our lesson for today is all about the
cases of pronouns.
 Everyone please read this. Cases tell whether a pronoun shows
possession or acts as a subject or an object in
the sentence.
Cases tell whether a pronoun shows
possession or acts as a subject or an object in
the sentence. There are three cases of pronouns;
they are subjective, objective and possessive.

Let’s unlock the first case which is the

Subjective. Everyone, please read the
Subjective Case. Subjective/nominative- the doer of the
action or the one being talked about
The pronouns I, you, he, she, it, we, and
they are used as subjects (the doers of the action
or the ones being talked about in sentences).
They are generally found:
-before verbs (either linking or action
verbs)
Please read the examples. She is very friendly.
We like to see the dancing monkey.
In the examples, She is the subject or the
one being talked about while We is the doer of
the action.
Class, you can remember subjective
pronouns easily by filling in the blank subject
space for a simple sentence.

1. _____did the job.

Now, supply the blank with correct
subjective pronouns.
Yes, Christian. I did the job.
Thank you Christian. What else? Yes,
Micah. We did the job.
Very good!

Class, I, he, she, we, they, etc., all qualify

and are, therefore, subject pronouns.

-after the linking verbs

(am, is, are, was, were will be)
Kindly read the examples. My grandfather is he.
It was I who left the door open.
The players will be they.
Why are pronouns he, I and they in
subjective case?
Yes, Clifton? Sir, basically, they are located after the
Very good! linking verbs.
Another input, class. A problem of case:
You and I or You and me?

Laurence, underline the correct pronoun in

the sentence.
Paula, do the same with number 2.

1. You and (I/me) are delighted to be here You and (I/me) are delighted to be here
today. today.
2. The letter was addressed to you and
 (I/me). The letter was addressed to you and
(I/me).
In 1, You and I are subjects, which is why
the pronoun takes the subjective case “I”.
In 2, You and me are objects, which is why
the pronoun takes the objective case “me”.

An easy way to check the correct case is to

try the sentence without “You”. Would you say
“I am delighted to be here” or “Me am delighted
to be here” would you say “The letter was
addressed to me” or “The letter was addressed
to I”? I am delighted to be here.
The letter was addressed to me.
I need 5 volunteers in each group to answer
the following:
1. 1. Maria and (her, she) laughed and talked well
1. 1. Maria and (her, she) laughed and talked
into the night. well into the night.
2. 2. (Me, I) and he just don’t seem to get along2. 2. (Me, I) and he just don’t seem to get along
very well these days. very well these days.
3. 3. (Him, He) and I quarreled because of pets. 3. 3. (Him, He) and I quarreled because of pets.
4. 4. It was Noli and (her, she) who used the 4. It was Noli and (her, she) who used the
computer for three hours. computer for three hours.
5. 5. Under the table hide Korra and (him/he). 4. 5. Under the table hide Korra and (him/he).

Well done, class.

Remember these things class:

Use subjective case:
1. At the beginning of sentences or before
the verbs
2. After linking verbs

Any question about subjective case? None, sir.

Okay, then let’s proceed to the Objective
Case of Pronouns. Kindly read, class. Objective- the receiver of the action

The pronouns me, you, him, her, it, us, and

them are the receivers of the action or the
objects of the preposition in sentences. They are
generally found:
-after action verbs
Please read the examples. 1. It took him days to finish the job.
2. Our teacher gives us a lot of
homework.
What is the pronoun in sentence 1? The pronoun is “him”.
What about in sentence 2? The pronoun is “us”.
You’re right. Why are pronouns “him’ and
“us” in objective case?
Yes, Maxim? The pronouns “him’ and “us” are under
objective case because they are the receivers
of the actions in the two given sentences.
Precisely!

-after prepositions
Please read the examples. 1. Her dog always barks at him.
2. The land will be divided between you
 and me.
What is the pronoun in sentence 1? The objective pronoun in sentence 1 is
What about in sentence 2? “him”.
The pronouns in sentence 2 are “you“ and
The pronoun “him” in sentence 1 is after the “me”.
preposition “at” while the pronouns “you” and
“me” are after the preposition “between”.
Class, when you see pronouns after
prepositions, take note that they are under
objective case. Is that clear?
Yes, sir.
-after the expression of “be”
Please read the examples. The winner has to be her.
Being him is a challenge.
What did you notice about the pronouns in
sentence 1 and 2? Yes, George. In sentence 1, the pronoun “her” is placed
after the word “to be” while in sentence 2, the
pronoun “her” is located after the word
“being”.
Good observation.

*Note that pronouns used as appositives

(those that rename the subject or object in the
sentence) follow the same rules as those of the
subjective and objective cases. Please read. (Subjective)
e.g.
1. The managers, Carlo and she, are
staying in town. (before verbs)
2. Those were the authors, Clare and he,
who passed by. (after linking verbs)

Take note that those examples are in

subjective case. (Objective)
e.g. 1. They took the students, Michael
and me, home. (after verbs)
2. The coach gave awards for the boys,
Nito and them. (after prepositions)

Class, don’t be confused about appositives.

Just put in memory that subjective case are
placed before the verb and after the linking
verbs while objective case is located after the
verb and prepositions. Is that clear? Yes, sir.

Finally, let’s talk about Possessive Case.

By the way, what is a possessive? Yes,
Felipe. Possessive shows ownership.
Good. Give me some examples of
possessive pronouns. Mine, my, hers, sir.
Very good, Felipe.

The pronouns my, your, his, her, its, our and

their are used to show possession or ownership.
They come before nouns.

Class, please read the examples. 1. These are my books.

2. That is our house.
 Pronouns “my” and “our” came before the
nouns. Who wants to give another sentence?
Yes, Jerico. Write your sentence in the
blackboard and present it. They are my classmates.
The word “my” is the possessive pronoun
that is located before the noun “classmates”.
(The students clap.)
Very good! Let’s give him a hand.

The pronouns mine, yours, his, hers, ours,

and theirs are used alone to replace a possessive
form and the thing it possesses. Kindly read the
examples. 1. These books are mine.
2. The house is ours.
Renalyn, stand. Give us another sentence
using those pronouns. That stray dog is hers.

Choose one from your classmates to give

another example. Lennox, sir.
Lennox, write your sentence in the Those mountains are His.
blackboard.
Let’s give them 3 claps. (The students clap.)

D. Generalization
Very good, class! Give yourselves a round
of applause. I believe that you already
understood our lesson for today. So, let me call
on Revelyn to summarize the three cases of
pronouns that we have just discussed. The three cases of pronouns are subjective,
objective and possessive case.

Differentiate all of them, Monica. First, the subjective case talks about the
doer of the action or the one being talked
about. Second, the objective case stresses the
receiver of the action.
Last, the possessive case shows possession
or ownership.
Thank you Revelyn and Monica.
Class, do you have any questions? None so far, sir.

E. Application
We are going to have an activity, class. Stay
with your own group and form a circle. Each
group will be given an illustration board and
chalk. Use the black phase of the illustration
board for you to write your answers as I flash
the given situation. Once the timer is done, you
should raise your answer.

Round 1. Choose the best pronoun that suits Answer:

the sentence.
1. President Duterte and (I,me) congratulated
Miss Universe Catriona Gray. I
2. The future is (ours, our) to make. Ours
3. Between you and (I,me), no one knows the Me
answer.
 4. It was (her,hers,she) who taught us about
pronouns. She
5. They send the kids, Hermione and (her, she),

Round 2. Identify if the underlined

pronoun/s is/are objective, subjective or
possessive.

2. 2. There is no secret in Nature which baffles
him. Objective
3. 3. Fyokla leads him into a thicket. Objective
4. 4. He is like a pickpocket in his ways. Subjective, possessive
5. 5. Its power is tremendous. Possessive

F. Values Integration
Okay class, as we go back to our lesson a
while back, what do you is the importance of
pronouns in a language discourse. Yes,
Laurence. Pronouns are important because they give
us ways how to substitute nouns.
Absolutely! Class, if we didn’t have
pronouns, we would have to repeat a lot of
nouns. We would have to say nouns
redundantly. So, we are thankful that pronouns
exist in our language.
