INTRODUCTION

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: That’s right. Dancing is a social activity in the Philippines. Most parents enroll their children in dance schools to learn various forms of dances.
Brandon: What are the popular contemporary dances in the Philippines that are taught in dance schools?
Ice: Right now, these are ballet, street dancing, Korean pop dancing, ballroom dancing, aerobic dancing, and line dancing.
Brandon: How about the more traditional dances?
Ice: The traditional forms of dances are called folk dance. Some of the most popular folk dances include Tinikling, Carinosa, Itik-Itik, Sayaw sa Bangko, Pandanggo sa Ilaw, and Kuratsa.

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!
