| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Ice: Did you know almost all Filipinos know how to dance? |
| Brandon: Really? I’ve heard that dancing is one of the favorite activities at social gatherings aside from singing karaoke in the Philippines. |

| Ice: Right now, these are ballet, street dancing, Korean pop dancing, ballroom dancing, aerobic dancing, and line dancing. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Brandon: Let’s take a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Ice: We're going to discuss three words from the dialog. The first is: “sumayaw”. This is a verb from the root word “sayaw,” |
| Brandon: This root word means, “dance”. So the verb sumayaw is “to dance”. So the phrase “She loves to dance” using the keyword will be… |
| Ice: “Mahilig siyang sumayaw”. |
| Brandon: Okay, let’s move on to the next word? |
| Ice: The second word is “kabahan” |
| Brandon: It's a verb that means “to be nervous”. How would you say “He shouldn’t be nervous”? |
| Ice: That’s “Hindi siya dapat kabahan”. So we just added the phrase “hindi siya dapat” which means “he shouldn’t be,” to our keyword “kabahan”. |
| Brandon: Ok, what’s the third word? |
| Ice: The third and last key vocabulary for this lesson is “kaya.” |
| Brandon: This is a noun defined as "ability. Let’s use it in an example. How about something uplifting and supportive? |
| Ice: How about, “Kaya mo yan!” |
| Brandon: It means “You can do it,” right? |
| Ice: That’s right! |
| Brandon: Ok, Let’s move on to the grammar. |
Lesson focus |
| Brandon: In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use "um" verbs to describe past, present, and future actions. Now, "um" verbs are formed differently according to the tenses. |
| Ice: That’s right. Listeners, if you need extra practice, the lesson notes have detailed explanations for forming past, present, and future tense forms of "um" verbs. |
| Brandon: Okay, so starting with past tense... What pattern should we follow to describe past actions using um verbs? |
| Ice: We follow the pattern [-um verb in past tense + pronoun/noun + object/place/person + time indicator]. Note that some parts of the pattern can be omitted. |
| Brandon: Let’s give a basic example to illustrate this pattern. How would you say “She sang yesterday”? |
| Ice: “Kumanta” is the "um" verb in the past tense for the verb “to sing,” while “kahapon” means “yesterday”. The pronoun “siya” means “he or she”. |
| Brandon: Substituting in these words and following the pattern we'll get... |
| Ice: “Kumanta siya kahapon”, [slow] “Kumanta siya kahapon”. |
| Brandon: “She sang yesterday”. Let’s move on to describing actions in the present tense. |
| Ice: All right, the pattern we'll use to describe current actions using the “um” verbs in the present tense is [-um verb in present tense + pronoun/noun + object/place/person + time indicator]. |
| Brandon: But you can omit some words here, right? |
| Ice: Yes, but the general pattern is [um verb in present tense + noun/pronoun] |
| Brandon: Great! Let’s give an example. |
| Ice: “Kumakain ako” |
| Brandon: “I'm eating”. |
| Ice: Here, “Kumakain” is the "um" verb in present tense for “to eat” and “ako” refers to the pronoun “I”. |
| Brandon: Great! Now how about describing actions in the future tense? |
| Ice: The pattern we'll use to describe future actions using the “um” verbs requires us to use the future tense. The pattern is [-um verb in future tense + pronoun/noun + object/place/person + time indicator]. |
| Brandon: And like the first two patterns, some parts may also be omitted, but be careful because there’s a general pattern that can't be omitted. |
| Ice: That’s right. The part of the sentence you must have is [um verb in future tense + pronoun or noun] |
| Brandon: Let’s give an example. How would you say “I will dance”? |
| Ice: That would be “Sasayaw ako,” where “sasayaw” is the "um" verb in future tense and “ako” refers to the pronoun “I”. Once more, Sasayaw ako. |
Outro |
| Brandon: That’s all we have for this lesson! |
| Ice: Remember to read the lesson notes and to practice using um verbs! |
| Brandon: Yes, because practice makes perfect! |
| Ice: We’ll see you in the next lesson. |
| Brandon: Goodbye! |
| Ice: Paalam! |
