CONTENT: There are forty-four sound segments in English comprising twenty vowels and twenty- four consonants. The production of vowel sounds take place as the air stream flows from the lungs to the mouth without any obstruction.

KEY VOCABULARY WORDS: Nouns, Pronoun, Verbs, Adjectives. RESOURCES AND MATERIALS: New English Concept For Junior Secondary School, Bk 2, By, F.Demola-Adeoye, Q Adams, J. Eyisi, J.Eto........ BUILDING BACKGROUND AND CONNECTION TO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Learners have a prior knowledge of the topic. CONTENT: Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs, Adjectives As the body of a person has different works or functions, so a sentence is made up of different words performing different functions. Each word is named according to the function it performs in a sentence. What is a noun? A noun is a naming word which names people, things, animal, places and ideas e.g., Ade, boy, man, girl, Bisi, woman, child, chief, king, princess, ant, goat, London, school, church, beauty, anger, empathy etc. A girl was looking for her book. The book is on the table.
4 What is a pronoun? A pronoun replaces a noun in a sentence to avoid repetition e.g she, he, they, we, them, us, her, it, you, herself, whom, that, why etc. She is a good student. I love my dog. What is an Adjective? An adjective qualifies a noun, i.e. it tells us more about a noun. E.g beautiful, ugly, emotional, tall, old, fantastic etc. Examples: A beautiful woman. She is beautiful. An unkempt hair What are verbs? Verbs are words that tell the action of the nouns which are usually the subject or objects of the sentence. e.g beat, sleep, sing, talk, jump, dance, has, have, does, may etc. I talk a lot. She dances well. STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES: Activity 1: Students, as a class, highlight nouns, pronouns, verbs and adjectives in a short passage.

RESOURCES AND MATERIALS: New English Concept For Junior Secondary School, Bk 2, By, F.Demola-Adeoye, Q Adams, J. Eyisi, J.Eto........
8 BUILDING BACKGROUND AND CONNECTION TO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Learners have a prior knowledge of the topic. CONTENT: Verbs are used to say what people do. They express an action. E.g. laugh, walk, run, sleep, and take. some verbs do not express an action. They just say people or things are something. E.g. the verb to be – am, is, are, was, were. Others are have, has, had, can, will, may, shall etc. Transitive verb: Before we discuss transitive verb there is the need to discuss object. Object: Object is the receiver of the action. It shows somebody or something involved in the subject. It is what the verb is done to. e.g. I took the book. (“book” is the object while “I” is the subject-the performer of the action) Direct Object: refers to a person or thing affected by the action of the verb. He opened the door (“door” is the direct object) Transitive Verbs: they are verbs that take direct object. When a verb has an object that receives the action of the verb, that verb is transitive. E.g. 1. I sold some books. 2. Ngozi took the pen. 3. I understand her question. 4. The woman slapped the boy because he was rude. The verbs “sold, took, understand, slap” in the above sentences are transitive because they take the direct objects “books, bus, question, the boy” Other examples of transitive verbs are had, broke, sold, bought, love, throw, develop, kick, eat, see etc. Intransitive verb: They are verbs that do not take object. So, a verb is intransitive when it does not have an object after it. E.g. 1. I slept at 7pm yesterday. 2. The students in the class are singing. 3. The pawpaw tree fell this morning. 4. She coughed. The verbs” slept, singing, fell, coughed” are intransitive because they do not take verb what we find after the verbs in 1 and 2 are adverbs.
9 Other examples of intransitive verbs are run, cry, rise, live, result, dwell, swim, improve, sing etc STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES: Activity 1: Students, as a class, compare and contrast transitive and intransitive verbs. Activity 2: Students, in pairs, construct sentences using transitive and intransitive verbs. ASSESSMENT (EVALUATION): i) Compare and contrast transitive verbs with intransitive verbs; ii. Distinguish transitive verbs from intransitive verbs; iii. Construct sentences using transitive and intransitive verbs. WRAP-UP (CONCLUSION): The teacher wraps up and concludes the lesson using web summary method and correct any mistake observed during the assessment. ASSIGNMENT: 1. What is transitive verb? 2. Give five (5) examples of intransitive verb and make sentences with two of them. HOD/V.

BUILDING BACKGROUND AND CONNECTION TO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Learners have a prior knowledge of the topic. CONTENT: ACTIVE VERBS An active sentence is one in which the subject performs an action or does something. In this case, the sentence follows the normal order of the subject, verb and object or subject and predicate. Examples: Bola\ kicked\ the ball. Tunde \visits\ a doctor\ every month. I\ ate \yam\ yesterday. The children\ are playing\. Football.
17 All the sentences above are in the active voice. A passive sentence is realized when the object takes the position of the subject, i.e when the object is mentioned first before the subject. Often times, passive sentences are used: When we do not know the subject or performer of the action, e.g. The book was stolen yesterday. When the subject is not that important: Examples: The rice is then boiled for twenty-five minutes. —— When the performer/subject is known by everybody. Examples of passive sentences are: A song was composed by Tayo The students were flogged by the teacher Changing Active Sentences to Passive Ones. To do this, some changes take place: 1. The active object becomes a passive subject 2. The active subject becomes agentive adverbial introduced with the preposition ‘by’ 3. An appropriate form of auxiliary ‘BE’ is introduced before the main verb STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES: Activity 1: Students, in small groups, work together to compare and contrast active and passive voice Activity 2: Students, in pairs, construct sentences using active and passive voice.
