The law aims to enhance the Philippine education system by shifting from a 10-year basic education curriculum to 13 years of K to 12 (1 year of kindergarten and 12 years of basic education, comprising 6 years of primary education, 4 years of junior high, and 2 years of senior high school). It also aims to prepare future graduates to be culturally aware and globally competitive.

I saw from afar the young man comforting his grandmother. 2. The singing old man is my grandfather. 3. The wedding was a moving experience. In Past: 1. The box used in storing the tools was the old man’s favorite possession. 2. The painted wall was the old woman’s masterpiece. 3. The dogs barked at the scared cat. PARTICIPLES AND PARTICIPIAL PHRASES In Perfect Participle: 1. Having discussed the problem, the siblings reached out to their aging mother. 2. The issue, having been discussed, was resolved thereafter. Participial Phrase: 1. The dog saw many ducks swimming in the lake. 2. Barking loudly, the dog approached the water. 3. The ducks, startled by the noise, rose and flew away quickly. PARTICIPLES AND PARTICIPIAL PHRASES  Do not be confused with the –ing form which may be a gerund (a type of verbal that functions as a noun) and not a participle. The following sentences contain gerunds used as subjects of the sentences: 1. Comforting her younger sister was quite easy for Donna. (noun; subject) 2. The singing of the old man made his grandson smile. (noun; subject) GERUNDS AND GERUND PHRASES  A gerund is a type of verbal formed with the present participle (ends in –ing such as moving) form of the verb.  Similarly a gerund phrase consists of a gerund and its modifiers.  Both function as a noun. GERUNDS AND GERUND PHRASES As a subject: 1. Painting is a skill that Andrea wishes to excel in. 2. Swimming is a good exercise. 3. Writing poetry is Elmar’s great talent. 4. Gazing at the stars is Matthew’s nightly habit. GERUNDS AND GERUND PHRASES As a direct object: 1. Andrea enjoys painting. 2. She loves swimming in the lake behind their house. 3. She enjoys partying with friends. 4. They miss going to the beach on weekends.

(gerund phrase as the object of the preposition) GERUNDS AND GERUND PHRASES 3. Sandra chose singing on stage as her new summer pursuit. (gerund phrase as a direct object) GERUNDS AND GERUND PHRASES Although both gerund and a present participle end in –ing, they function as different parts of speech. A gerund is used as a noun, whereas a present participle is used as part of a verb phrase or as an adjective. GERUNDS AND GERUND PHRASES 1. Reading her new book, Isabella became sleepy. (participle as an adjective) 2. Isabella was reading in the window seat. (participle in a verb phrase). 3. Reading is Isabella’s favorite pastime. (gerund) INFINITIVES AND INFINITIVE PHRASES  An infinitive is a type of verbal with the form to + base form of the verb.  Similarly an infinitive phrase consists of an infinitive and its modifiers.  Both may either function as a noun, adjective, or adverb. INFINITIVES AND INFINITIVE PHRASES Noun : 1.
