* Repetition:
- Ask Ss to read the words aloud
- Ask Ss to add some more words that contain the sounds
* Practice reading aloud the sentences.
- Practice reading aloud the sentences
- Ask some Ss to read aloud the sentences
- Correct their mistakes if necessary
* Grammar:
A Gerund
A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding “ ing” The gerund always has the same function as a noun (although it looks a verb), so it can be used :
1 As the subject of the sentence:
Ex : Reading helps you learn English
2 As the complement of the verb “ to be”:
Ex : Her favorite hobby is reading
3 As the object of prepositions.
Ex : She is good at learning English
There’s no point in typing the assignment
4 After a number of “phrasal verbs” which are composed of a verb + preposition / adverb.
Example: look forward to / give up / be for (against) / take to / put off
Ex : I look forward to hearing from you soon
5 In compound nouns :
Ex: a driving lesson / a swimming pool / bird-watching / train-spotting
Ex : It is a pool for swimming in
6 After expressions :
Example : can’t help / can’t stand / it’s no use (good) / be worth
Ex : I can’t stand being stuck in traffic jams It’s no use (good) trying to persuade him
B Present participle:
The present participle of most verbs has the form V + ing and is used in the following ways :
- Teacher reviews the verbs that are followed by an infinitive, a gerund
and both
1 As part of the continuous form of a verb :
Ex : I am working / She was dancing
2 After verbs of movement / position in the pattern: verb + present participle
(go diving / go fishing / go swimming / go hunting )
Ex : My mother used to go shopping everyday
3 After verbs of perception in the pattern : verb + object + present participle
Example : I heard someone playing the guitar
I can smell something burning
* Note : There is a difference in meaning when such a sentence
T < > Ss
T < > Ss
S< > S
T < > S
Trang 10contains a bare-inf Rather than a participle The inf refers to a
complete action, but the participle refers to an incomplete action, or
part of an action
Compare :
+ I heard Mai playing the piano (= she had started before I heard her,
and probably went on afterwards )
+ I heard Mai play the piano (= I heard her complete performance.)
4.As an adjective :
Example : It was an interesting film
It’s a bit worrying when the police stop you
5 With the verbs SPEND / WASTE in the pattern:
Verb + time / money expression + present participle
Example : I spend two hours a day traveling to work
Don’t waste time playing computer games!
They’ve spent $ 4.000 buying that watch
6 With the verbs CATCH / FIND in the pattern :
Verb + object + present participle
With CATCH, the participle always refers to an action which causes
annoyance or anger
Ex : If I catch you stealing my apples again, I’ll tell your parents
We found our dog lying in the bathroom
They found their mother sitting in the garden
7 To replace a sentence or part of a sentence :
+ When two actions occur at the same time, and are done by the same
person or thing, we can use a present participle to describe one of them
Ex : He sang to himself He walked down the road
Singing to himself, he walked down the road
+ When one action follows very quickly after another done by the same
person or thing, we can express the first action with a present participle
Ex : He put on his coat and left the house
Putting on his coat, he left the house
+ The present participle can be used instead of a phrase starting AS /
SINCE / BECAUSE and it explains the cause or reason for an action
Ex : Feeling tired, he went to bed early (= because he felt tired )
Knowing that she likes roses, he gave her a bunch of red roses on
her birthday
C Perfect gerund and perfect participle:
1 Perfect gerund :
+ Form : having + past participle (having seen, having worked )
+ Use : -The perfect gerund can be used instead of the present form of
the gerund when we are referring to a past action
Ex : He was accused of deserting his ship = He was accused of having
deserted his ship
-However, the perfect gerund is used to emphasize completion in both
the past and the future
Ex : The retired teacher recalled having taught
2 Perfect participle :
+ Form : having + Past participle (having done, having read )
+ Use :-The perfect participle can be used instead of present participle
when one action is immediately followed by another with the same
subject
Ex : Switching off the lights, we went to bed = Having switched off the
lights, we went to bed
-The perfect present participle emphasizes that the first action complete
