To discover and learn to use some useful structures

Procedures

1. Warming up by reading the text aloud

Reading aloud to the recording of the text improves our literacy skills — reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Now read the text aloud. So let’s first review the text learned yesterday by reading it aloud. Try to force out your English slowly and clearly.

2. Discovering useful words and expressions

In pairs do the exercises 1, 2 and 3 on page 12. You are to finish them in 5 minutes.

3. Read and identify

Read the text about Yuan Longping again, paying attention to the sentences which use the –ing form as the subject and object.

In the sentence “Wishing for things, however, cost nothing.” the –ing form is used as a subject.

It can be also used as an object of the sentence. For example: Yuan Longping likes playing his violin.

Consolidating by doing exercises

To consolidate your understanding you will be given 10 minutes to go over the exercises on page 13. You may just write the answer on your text book. I mean the student’s book you are working by.

5. Studding the ready used materials for the –ing form as the Subject & Object

Verbals -Gerund

A gerund is a verbal that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. The term verbal indicates that a gerund, like the other two kinds of verbals (Participles, and Infinitives), is based on a verb and therefore expresses action or a state of being. However, since a gerund functions as a noun, it occupies some positions in a sentence that a noun ordinarily would, for example: subject, direct object, subject complement, and object of preposition.

A Gerund Phrase is a group of words consisting of a gerund and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed in the gerund, such as:

Finding a needle in a haystack would be easier than what we're trying to do. The gerund phrase functions as the subject of the sentence.

Finding (gerund)

a needle (direct object of action expressed in gerund)

in a haystack (prepositional phrase as adverb) I hope that you appreciate my offering you this opportunity. The gerund phrase functions as the direct object of the verb appreciate.
