Task 3 – An Info Hunt

Read the following excerpt about the history of Samal.

The Municipality of Samal derived its name from the Isamals who were its first inhabitants. The Isamals were brought by the first and second waves of migration from the Malay Region of Southeast Asia, dynastically ruled by a Datu up to the early part of the American Regime.

The latest ruling tribal Chieftain was Datu Taganiog who died on January 28, 1948. Discovery revealed that the latter lived at “Malibasa” (now known as Penaplata, the poblacion) where he exercised his general supervision. The word “Malibasa” meant honorable. The Isamals lived in perfect harmony as peace-loving people.

Questions to answer

1.What new information does the text present you?

2.What about Samal history do you want to know more of?

Task 4 – Exploring the English Language

Read the following sentences. For every number, note the words highlighted through boldface and underscore. What relationships do the words have?

1.Floating on this sea was a thing resembling a ball. This was the abode of God the Most High.

2.Now at the time of the splitting of the ball, all creatures have already been believed as being in it.

3.From the single light [Nur] was taken the elements that became the moon, the sun, the stars, the trees, and all living things. They were all there.

4. Nur was already risen. He then went around.5. God wanted to bring out his creations.6. Allah scattered his radiance.7. The Man is here, but his joints are not connected.

Pronouns and Antecedents

Since you first learned to speak, you have been using words such as I, you, he, she, it , we, and they.

These words are called pronouns.

Read the two pairs of sentences on the next slide and note the changes in the second sentence of each pair.

A. 1. Anton gave Via a greeting card.2. He gave her a greeting card.

B. 1. “Will Via let John see the card?” John asked.2. “Will you let me see the card?” He asked.

Example A, number 1 uses three nouns. Sentence 2 replaces two of them with pronouns. He stands for Anton; and her stands for Via. Both pronouns refer to other person.

In example B, number 2 also replaces the nouns with pronouns. Me replaces the noun – John who is the speaker himself; and you replaces the noun –Via who is the person spoken to.

Thus, a pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun – person speaking, someone spoken to, and other persons, places or things.

The noun for which a pronoun stands is its antecedent.

Pronouns agree with their antecedents in number (singular or plural) and in gender (masculine, feminine, neuter).

As shown in the table, personal pronouns have three different forms such as subject form, object form, and possessive form.

The Subject Forms

The subject forms of personal pronouns are used as subjects of the verb. They are also used as predicate pronouns. A predicate pronoun is a pronoun that follows a linking verb and is linked by the verb to the subject.

Examples

Subjects Predicate Pronouns

You and I won. The winners were you and I.

He spoke. The speaker was he.

Here are some points to remember about predicate pronouns:

1.Predicate pronouns follow linking verbs such as is, was, were, and will be.

2.The predicate pronoun usually means the same thing as the subject .

3.A sentence with a predicate pronoun will usually make sense if the subject and the predicate pronoun are reversed.

The subject form of a pronoun for subjects and predicate pronouns is always used.

Incorrect: His and me watched the concert.

Correct: He and I watched the concert.Incorrect: One of the audience was him.Correct: One of the audience was he.

Exercise 1

Read each sentence and underline the correct form of pronoun or the subject and predicate pronouns.

Do this in your notebook.

1.Bernard and (she, her) went to the mall.2.The most excited ones to leave for the

farm are (we, us).3.Miriam and (he, him) joined the tour.4.The only person left at home was (she,

her).5.The partners were Ning and (I, me).

6. One of my favorite friends is (he, him).7. The best orator was (she, her).8. Sven and (she, her) are good friends.9. The persons in-charge of the contest are (we, us).10. The leaders chosen by the teacher were (he, him) and (I, me).

The object forms

The object forms of personal pronouns are used as the direct or indirect object or as the object of a preposition.

Examples

Direct Object: Mother loves me and her.

Indirect Object: I gave her a birthday gift.

A compound object (either direct or indirect) may consist of two or more pronouns, or a noun and a pronoun, connected by and, or, or nor. The object form of pronouns is used in all compound objects.

Examples:

Direct object:Imee asked Lea and me.Vhie saw her and him.

Indirect Object: I gave Carla and him a hand.Alvie brought us and them food.

Exercise 2

Read each sentence and underline the correct form of pronoun.


1.Karen invited Carol and (I, me).2.I will give (she, her) a gift on her

birthday.3.Karie chose (he, him) as her escort.4.At last, our friends will meet (she, her).5.Patrick asks (I, me) about her.

6. When will you call (she, her) up?7. Merick asked (he, him) the same question.8. He answered (they, them) evasively.9. but, I have heard from Erika or (he, him) recently.10. I’m sure you can manage it without help from (she, her).

The possessive form

The possessive form of personal pronouns is used as signal for ownership. They maybe adjectives that modify nouns, and as subjects, predicates, or objects of the prepositions or verbs.

Examples:

Adjective: My bag is new.Predicate: This bag is mine.Subject: Yours is not new

anymore.Object of Preposition:

The names list is in mine.

Object of the Verb:

I like hers.

Exercise 3



1.(She, Hers) is the most relevant to the theme.

2.(Me, My) topic is quite difficult to develop.3.The project that he is doing now is (me,

mine).4.One of the judges did not like (you, yours).5.(Us, Ours) is the only team that does not

have enough practice.

6. I’m sure the club will adapt (him, his).7. I will not get it. It’s (she, hers).8. May I borrow (you, your) scanner?9. (Us, Our) proposal has just been approved.10. The gadgets that you need are in (me, mine).

There are some personal pronouns that are combined for emphasis such as: myself, ourselves, herself, themselves, yourself, yourselves, itself. These are called compound pronouns.

Example:The students themselves prepared their props.

Exercise 4



1.Don’t worry. I can cook by (herself, myself).2.The visitors (ourselves, themselves) will get their food

from the table.3.Prepare (themselves, yourselves). The guests will

arrive soon.4.Rosalie (herself, myself) will prepare the table for the

guests.5. I’m not sure if the announcement (itself, himself) is

enough to convince them to join the celebration.

6. Will you (yourself, myself) join the ceremony?7. The people (himself, themselves) will realize the importance of livelihood program.8. Raul (yourself, himself) is the proponent of this project.9. I don’t think if I (myself, herself) can find time for it.10. We (ourselves, themselves) will arrange our schedule.

Some pronouns are called relative pronouns. They are used as referents of subjects or objects of the sentence. Who and whom are both used to refer to person; while, which or that are either used to refer to object.

Example:

Miss Via Veto, who lived in England for five years gave me postcards that show the pride of the country.

Exercise 5

Complete each sentence with the appropriate relative pronoun. Then, from the pronoun, draw an arrow to its antecedent.

1. I was delighted by the set of computer that my sister bought.

2. My sister, who has just arrived from England brought us different items.

3. She came from a place which is very far from her own country – the Philippines.

4. She gathered her family and friends whom she missed so much.

5. The party that she herself organized was excellent .

6. The only person, who was not able to come, is her best friend.7. Her best friend called and told her about her health condition which is getting worse.8. She just visited her the following day, and brought her food which is her favorite.9. She brought her to the doctor who has healed her mother.10. She thanked the nurse whom she hired to take care of her best friend.
