Get here and you are ready to study in English at university

I created this Power Point presentation to help my students speak about their likes and dislikes. We all know that children just love talking about their interests but very often they don't know what to start with. I hope funny pictures and questions will help your students develop their apeking skills and make the lesson funny!

Likes and dislikes

A simple presentation to show your students the concept of using the gerund form of verbs after the verbs like/love/hate/enjoy.



Teach your students how they can say about their likes and dislikes. Then make them share their feelings towards the activities on the slides. 

Like + ing

The ppt presentation aims at drilling the gerund structure after like/love, etc and practising some hobby words.



Students look at the symbols of the verbs like/love/don't like/hate on each slide and at the picture given. Then they say a sentence which should include a verb and a hobby they think is shown in the picture. They should use the gerund form of the activity they're talking about.

I like, I don't like, etc

You can print these speaking cards and distribute them to your students. Each students needs to make a sentence that corresponds the card. In the area where there is a happy smiley symbol they should make a sentence using "like". In the field where there is a sad smiley they should make a sentence using "don´t like" and gerund. For example: He likes swimming / He doesn´t like watching TV. 

Practicing gerund - speaking cards 

This Power Point was created for 4th grade level ESL learners. The slides can be used for speaking exercises. Students will answer questions using gerunds with likes and personal preferences. 

Gerunds: likes & preferences 

The PPT includes examples and explanations for types of gerunds and functions of gerunds. It's appropriate for upper-intermediate and advanced level students. You can use it revise that grammar if Ss are already familiar with this grammar point.

Gerunds-Types of Gerund ad Functions of Gerunds

Use this PPT to make your students speak about different topics, using expressions with gerunds. After speaking in groups, they could write a description using the same expressions.

Gerunds and infinitives

This is a powerpoint about how to use the gerunds. Inside this powerpoint, you are going to find the rules, structures and examples on the topic. Hope you find it useful. 

When to start teaching gerunds?

As I mentioned before, I used this lesson with a pre-intermediate student and I think this is a great place to start. Regardless of the age of the student, if his/her/their proficiency is pre-intermediate then learning and teaching gerunds will be fun for all of you.  Keep in mind that students at this level should have a general idea of how to read, write, speak and understand English; this lesson will help improve these skills.

What will students learn in this lesson?

The purpose of this lesson is for students to practice verbs that are followed by gerunds or infinitives with no change in meaning. They will also learn how to determine when to use gerunds or infinitives. Moreover, they will work on answering questions using two sentences: one with the gerund and one with the infinitive. Students will also have the opportunity to create their questions, it’s really fun to see what they come up with. By the end of this lesson, students will be able to make logical sentences using several verbs including love, like, hate, prefer, can’t bear, can’t stand, begin, start and continue.
