Test #1 (8-10 minutes) • To gauge students' prior knowledge of the target language

T gives the students HO1 and asks them "What is a gerund? What is an infinitive?" Gerund: A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding "-ing." The gerund form of the verb "read" is "reading." You can use a gerund as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence. Infinitive: Infinitives are the "to" form of the verb. The infinitive form of "learn" is "to learn." You can also use an infinitive as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence. Gerunds are used more common as subjects T tells the students " Fill in the gap with gerund or infinity". T tells the students to change their papers to check each others answers. T plays the audio 3.36 to check their answers.

Teach (15-20 minutes) • To clarify areas of the target language where students had difficulty in the first test stage

T asks the students " Look at the third sentence. What is the main verb? What is the object of the sentence? Why do we use infinity with "to"? Are all the verbs followed by infinitive?(i.e. how about enjoy, stop, pharasel verbs cary on, give up, look forward to)". T asks the students " Look at the first sentence. What is the main verb? What is the object? Why do we use infinity without "to"?(Answer: make someone do is a causative verb. a causative verb is a verb used to indicate that some person or thing makes (or helps to make) something happen.). What are the causative verbs?(Answer: let(allow someone to do something), have(to give someone the responsibility to do something), make. Ex: John let me drive his car, She made her children do their homework, Please have your secretary fax me the information.) T gives the students HO 2 and asks them: Look at two sentences? Which one is remembering about the past?- First Which one is remembering about the future?- Second Which sentence gives advice?- Second Look at the first sentence.
