“With your partner, come with six nouns: three that matter and three that are not. Then write six sentences with these six names and six of the indeterminate pronouns on the class list. Circle the name to which the undetermined pronoun refers and emphasize the verb. Then you illustrate the nostune next to the sentence. Their drawings should not be elaborated; Characters or sketches that show if the no bite is compensable are all you need. When you`re done, share your sentences with another group. Once the students have completed this task, ask each couple to share one of their sentences while you record it for class. They may also want students to publish their papers with their drawings in the room so that everyone can see them. Have 14 sentences written and illustrated by the students: two sentences for each of the seven pronouns, one with an accounting name and the other with an unspeakable name. In the interest of time, you can get students to conclude this as partners or predict pronouns and envelope names and divide tasks. While students are working on the activity, move around the space and help students who need help to determine the correct form of the verb for each pronoun. Collect, evaluate and provide feedback for this activity before moving on to Lesson 3. Explain that some indeterminate pronouns may be either singular or plural, depending on what they refer to in the sentence.

“These pronouns are all, all, plus, most, none, certain and so on. For these indeterminate pronouns, ask yourself if what concerns the pronoun can be counted or not. If it is decountable, treat the pronoun as a plural. If this is not compensable, treat the pronoun as a singular. For example, “All the players are here.” Since you can count the number of players, the pronoun must be considered plural and requires the plural verb. However, for the phrase “All sugar is gone”, you really can`t count all the sugar grains, so you should look at the singular pronoun that needs the singular verb. If you`re not sure, imagine drawing the Nostunon. How would you shoot the players? How would you get sugar? Draw or ask a student to draw sketches of players (these can be as simple as bars) and a hill, bag or spoon of sugar for the class.

List these indeterminate pronouns for the class, and pair the students to perform the next activity. Tell students that today they will know the agreement between disciplines with unspecified pronouns, which is why it is important to know which pronouns are singular and which are plural. Focus question: What are the difficulties of an indeterminate subject-verb agreement? Note that everyone often follows a preposition sentence that ends with a plural word (for example, each student. B), which gives the impression that the verb should be plural, but remember that everyone is always singular and needs a singular verb.
