- What do you observe?

- What do you think is the problem in the sentence?
- Can you point out a word that is repetitive?
- How can you fix it?
- What do you call a substitute to nouns?

10-13 Discussion
mins. On the discussion of the lesson, the teacher will hand out to individual students an empty
table sheet that they will fill in during the discussion.

Definition: The prefix pro means for or in place of. Pronouns stand in for nouns or
replace them. Personal pronouns replace nouns that refer to people or things.
Personal pronouns have

number - they are singular or plural

person - 1st person is the person speaking, 2nd person is the person being spoken
to, 3rd person is the person being spoken about.
case - their use in the sentence. We'll go over this in the next lesson.

Case Subject Object Possessive

Number Singular Plural Singular Plural Singular Plural
1st person I we me us my, mine our, ours
2 person
nd
you you you you your, yours your, yours
3rd person he, she, it they him, her, it them his, her, hers, its their, theirs

After the discussion, each of the empty table should be filled in with pronouns on exact
positions. This will serve as students note of todays lesson.

10-15 Paste the pronoun

mins. The student will be in pair or triad. The teacher will provide 5 strips of paper with them
and they will blindly pick 5 red square paper with a pronoun. Their task is to paste the red
square on the appropriate strip of paper that substitute the noun to pronouns

Picture Example:

The trick is the possibility of not all their 5 red square papers are exactly the answer they
need for their strips of paper. So what they have to do is to ask for the exact pronoun they
need to the teacher in exchange of saying one-sentence-I-learned-today.
