Period 3 Grammar
Teaching Goals:
1. To get Ss to have knowledge of this grammar point: V-ing; 2. To enable Ss to use the V-ing form. Teaching procedures: Step 1. Revision
1. Check the answers to the homework and give Ss some directions. Step 2 Grammar
Purpose: Let Ss know how to use V-ing as an object.
1. Individual Work. Ask Ss to underline all the verbs followed by V-ing in the passage. 2. Ask Ss the following questions:
Have you noticed that there are so many –ing form in the passage? Do they use as adjective? Of course not. They used as another kind of function. Let’s have a study what they are used. Look at the verbs followed by V-ing in the passage.
(1) But now, after two weeks, the class really likes working with her.
(2) I’ve always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly …. (3) There are a few students who keep coming to class late ….
(4) I think this is because he really enjoys teaching Chinese literature. 3. Make a conclusion.
They are used as objects which are often behind the verbs.
4. Pair Work. What verbs have you found that can be followed by v-ing you’ve just read? (We can use this poem to remember all the verbs followed by –ing form.) 避免 错过 少延期 建议 完成 多练习 喜欢 想象 禁不住 承认 否定 嫉妒 逃避 冒险 莫原谅 忍受 保持 不介意 Suggested answers: avoid miss put off / postpone suggest imagine practise enjoy imagine can’t help admit deny envy escape risk excuse stand keep mind
5. But there are some verbs followed by –ing or to do, such as love, like, hate, prefer, begin, start, continue, plan, forget, regret, remember, stop, try, mean, can’t help, etc. Are they the same meaning when they are followed by –ing form and to do? Some are the same but some are different.
For example, we have learnt “stop to do sth.” and “stop doing sth.”. Do you still remember what the difference between them is?
Stop to do sth.: stop one thing and begin to do another thing Stop doing sth.: not do the thing
