This is the first video quiz of a three-video series about gerunds and infinitives at B2 level. Students listen to a Sia song while completing 16 questions with the missing verb forms. The questions are not related to the song. The task aims at a final speaking session: students are asked to answer and discuss these questions in pairs or small groups.

Are you able to eat three plates of pasta?

Do you avoid talking to people in a crowd?

Do you expect to be depressed once you retire?

Do you have/Have you got to report to someone?

Do you mind sharing your flat/house/room with someone?

Do you often think: ‘I can’t wait to be done.’

Do you sometimes appear to be too self-confident?

Does using a smartphone involve being listened to?

Have you ever managed to control a group of kids?

Have you ever threatened someone to sue them?

All questions aim at conversation. Pair up your students and ask them to discuss the questions together. Find the complete list in Discussion Questions.

This is the first part of a series of three video quizzes for B2-level ESL students. Start your lesson with eliciting some verbs which ask for a gerund, a bare infinitive or a to + infinitive structure. Revise rules. Tell your students that they are going to see a music video which stops every 15 seconds and shows a question. They need to complete these with the missing verb form.
