The document discusses the difference between gerunds and present participles. It notes that gerunds function like nouns, such as subjects, direct objects, or objects of prepositions. Present participles function like verbs or adjectives and are often used in progressive or continuous tenses. The document provides examples of gerund and present participle usage to illustrate the distinction between the two verbal forms.

Teaching Infinitives: A Free Introductory ESL Lesson PlanReganMcNeill1
When teaching infinitives it is especially important to know what they are. Infinitives are the base form of verbs. Infinitives are often formed by placing the word “to” and then following it with a verb. For example, “to buy/to work/to shop”. Keep in mind that a bare infinitive does not have the word “to” preceding it. Sometimes English speakers use infinitives as objects in sentences. Infinitives can also be used as a subject at the beginning of some sentences; they can be used as adverbs to modify verbs as well. Finally, they can be used as adjectives and/or complements to adjectives. As the lesson progresses, you will introduce the different uses of infinitives to students. Though teaching infinitives seems difficult, this lesson makes it fun and clear.

A verb is one of the most important parts of the sentence.
It tells the subjects actions, events, or state of being.
It is always found in the predicate of a sentence.
A verb that shows action is called an action verb.
The action verb tells what its subject does.
The action can either by physical or mental.
Physical Action: The farmer feeds the chickens.
Mental Action: He likes the red rooster best.

When a verb ends in -ing, it may be a gerund or a present
participle. It is important to understand that they are not
the same.
2. -When we use a verb in -ing form more like a noun, it is
usually a gerund:
Ex.
-When we use a verb in -ing form more like a verb or an
adjective, it is usually a present participle. On the other
hand, complete progressive verbs or act as modifiers.
Ex. I have a teacher.
3. It looks like a verb;
it doesn’t act like a verb;
it’s a VERBAL!!
11. Points to Remember:
Subjects Tell us whom or what a sentence is about.
Direct Objects receive the action of certain action
verbs called "transitive active verbs."
Indirect Objects receive the direct object.
Predicate Nouns(Nominative)or subjective
complements come after linking verbs. They
rename the subject of the sentence.
Objects of the Preposition are nouns that follow a
preposition. They are a necessary part of
prepositional phrases.
12. Appositives- are nouns (sometimes
modified by an adjective) that follows
another noun (in commas) and which
describes that noun.
A gerund phrase consists of a gerund
together with its modifiers. It may be
modified by adjectives and adverbs or by
phrases and by clauses.
