Verbs Game Version 1 

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.

Teaching Gerunds: An Introducing ESL Lesson Plan

This PowerPoint Presentation teaches students the structures of the passive voice: the use of the verb "to be" followed by the past participative. It also includes the two different structures of "advanced passive sentences" with verbs like claim, say, believe etc.

There is a table of the use of the verbs "have" and "get" in causative sentences.

The PPT is devided into three parts: passive, advanced passive and causative - each part is followed by a picture-based oral activity where students have to use the newly learnt structures to speak about the pictures.

Passive and Causative Structures
