Additional Questions Answers
Question 1
Kinsa ang nagsulti sa tinuod? (“Who told the truth?”)
Option | Sentence | Status | Reason |
---|---|---|---|
A | Ikaw ang nagsulti sa tinuod. | Correct | The pronoun Ikaw (“you”) appears first as the subject, followed by the subject marker ang and the verb phrase nagsulti sa tinuod (“told the truth”). This is the standard Cebuano word order for focusing on the actor. |
B | Ang nagsulti ikaw sa tinuod. | Incorrect | The focus marker ang introduces a verb phrase (nagsulti) instead of the true subject. Placing ikaw after the verb breaks Cebuano focus rules and sounds ungrammatical. |
C | Ang ka nagsulti sa tinuod. | Incorrect | The clitic pronoun ka cannot appear after ang and cannot serve as an independent subject. It must follow a verb. |
Question 2
Kinsay maayo motabang sa uban? (“Who is good at helping others?”)
Option | Sentence | Status | Reason |
---|---|---|---|
A | Ikawa Kaayo maayo motabang sa uban. | Incorrect | “Ikawa” is not a valid Cebuano form, and the word order is scrambled. |
B | Kaayo maayo ka motabang sa uban. | Incorrect | The adverb kaayo (“very”) must come before the adjective maayo, and the clitic ka must directly follow its verb or adjective; placing ka in the middle of an adjective phrase is ungrammatical. |
C | Kaayo ka maayo motabang sa uban. | Correct | Kaayo (“very”) modifies maayo, while the clitic pronoun ka (“you”) correctly follows the intensifier. The verb phrase motabang sa uban (“help others”) comes at the end, yielding the natural order “You are very good at helping others.” |
Question 3
Kinsa imong gihuwat ganina? (“Whom were you waiting for earlier?”)
Option | Sentence | Status | Reason |
---|---|---|---|
A | Ikaw akong gihuwat ganina. | Correct | The focused object Ikaw (“you”) appears first, followed by akong (first-person possessor + object linker) and the verb gihuwat (“waited for”). This places emphasis on the person waited for. |
B | Akong gihuwat ka ganina. | Incorrect | The clitic ka must immediately follow the verb gihuwat; separating them with ganina violates clitic placement rules. |
C | Gihuwat ka akong ganina. | Incorrect | Word order is scrambled: akong must precede the verb to mark the object, and ka should follow the verb; placing akong after ka is ungrammatical. |
Key grammar points referenced
- Focus marker ang introduces the focused noun or pronoun; it cannot precede a verb phrase.
- Pronouns “ikaw / ka”
- Ikaw – full form, may stand alone as subject or focused object.
- Ka – clitic form, must follow the verb, an auxiliary, or an intensifier.
- Clitic placement – clitic pronouns (ko, ka, siya, ta, mi, mo) attach immediately to the first verbal or adjectival element; they cannot follow ang or appear at sentence end.
- Adverb + adjective order – kaayo (“very”) precedes the adjective it intensifies (maayo).
Grammar Question
In Cebuano, what part of speech is the word “ikaw” classified as?
Choices:
A. Verb
B. Noun
C. Adjective
D. Pronoun
Correct Answer:
D. Pronoun

[Question 2]
What is the function of a pronoun in a sentence?
Choices:
A. To express actions or states
B. To give more detail about a noun
C. To connect clauses like a conjunction
D. To replace a noun
Correct Answer:
D. To replace a noun
Explanation:
Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns to refer to people, things, or places without repeating the actual noun.
They help make sentences more concise and avoid repetition.
Examples include: ako (I), ikaw (you), siya (he/she) in Cebuano.
[Question 3]
What role does a noun play in a sentence?
Choices:
A. It connects clauses like a conjunction
B. It expresses actions or states
C. It functions as a subject, object, or other core element in a sentence
D. It expresses emotion like an interjection
Correct Answer:
C. It functions as a subject, object, or other core element in a sentence
Explanation:
A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, idea, or concept. In a sentence, it serves essential roles such as subject, object, complement, or possessive reference.
Examples with the noun identified:
- Ang bata nagdula. (The child is playing.)
→ bata (noun: “child”) is the subject. - Gipalit niya ang libro. (He bought the book.)
→ libro (noun: “book”) is the object. - Siya usa ka doktor. (He is a doctor.)
→ doktor (noun: “doctor”) is the complement. - Ang balay ni Maria. (Maria’s house)
→ Maria (noun: person’s name) is used to show possession.
