Introductory Message
Welcome to English Grade 5!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Bacolod City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The English Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with
minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made
available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The English Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even
if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and
engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read
and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Modals

I. Learning Competency with Code

Compose clear and coherent sentences using appropriate grammatical
structure: modals (EN5F-If-8.3)

II. Background Information for Learners

Modals or modal auxiliaries are helping verbs used with a principal verb. They
indicate the mood of the verb. Mood refers to the form of the verb telling that the speaker
regards what he or she is saying as a fact or ability, a possibility or desire, or a command.
Modals include the following examples: can, could, may, might, will, shall, must,
should, would, and ought to.
➢ Use the modals may/might, can/could would and will/shall, in making general or
specific requests or permission.
➢ Use the modals must/ought to/should to advise or control others.
➢ Use the modals can/could, may/might to express possibility.
Study the modals in these sentences:
1. My aunt could speak five dialects when she was very young. (ability in the past)
2. We must always wash our hands properly. (command)
3. You may have mixed vegetables and tuna for lunch. (possibility)
4. May I go to the washroom? (asking permission)
5. You should wear your facemask and face shield when you go out of the house.
(advice)
