They mostly used names of people as the main nouns in their sentences. The teacher will have to drill them more on this on Thursday.

REFLECTION

The students did a lot of mistakes in their sentences. They mismatched plural nouns with singular verbs. The teacher called 6 students to try and only 1 student wrote a grammatically correct sentence. Therefore, the teacher decided to give 8 sentences that differentiate singular nouns with plural nouns. They only needed to fill in the blanks with correct nouns and verbs. However, they only managed to fill in 3 blanks correctly while the other 5 sentences needed the teacher to fully assist them. This class will require more grammar drilling on the item of subject verb-agreement.
