Observation
Candidates were required to discuss the importance of verbs in sentences in (a) and to identify the verbs that were underlined in the sentences in (b) .
Some of the expected responses were:
(a) Ọ̀rọ-ìṣe ni ó máa ń dúró gẹ́gẹ́ bi kókó fọ́nrán nínú àpólà-ìṣe/ ó máa ń
sọ ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ inú gbólóhùn/ Gbólóhùn kò lè kún láìsí ọ̀rọ̀-ìṣe.
Most Candidates missed the correct definition and importance of verbs in sentences while others did not know the specific type of verbs in the sentences. This showed lack of a proper exposure to the recommended Language texts.
