Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

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."

Are all the verbs followed by infinitive?(i.e. how about enjoy, stop, phrasal verbs carry on, give up, look forward to)". T writes the form “ main verb + to + base verb, main verb + verb + ing”. T asks the students " Look at the first sentence. What is the main verb? What is the object?
