III. Lesson Proper

A. Discussion

“So, based on the images, do you have any “Yes, Ma’am!”

idea what our topic for this afternoon?"

“Okay, so what do you think our lesson for “I think it has something to do with physical
today?” activities ma'am"

"Nice try, how about the others?" "Ma'am, I think it is related to an action that
is happening"

"That's good. Any other idea ______?" "About gerund ma’am?”

"Very good! Now, class, I want all of you to

pay attention to me as we move on with “Yes, Ma’am!”
our discussion, and I want everyone to
participate. Is that clear?"
“Ma’am!”
“All right! First, could someone kindly read
the definition of gerund on our PowerPoint
presentation?”
“A gerund is a form of a verb that ends in -
“Yes ?”
ing that is used as a noun. A verb is a word
that refers to actions or states of being, and
a noun is a word that use to refer to people,
places, things, and ideas.”

“Okay, thank you! So, class, A gerund is a

word that combines verbs and nouns. It
seems to be a verb, yet it functions as a
noun. Gerunds are considered as third-
person singular nouns in sentences.”

“To make a verb into a gerund, just add -ing

to the basic form of the verb. However,
there are a few elements to keep in mind
while creating a gerund:

-When a verb ends in -ee, add -ing, for

example, agreeing, escaping, and seeing.
-If a verb finishes in -ie, use –y before the -
ing, like in lying (lie), tying (tie), and dying
(die).”

"So, class do you understand what a gerund “Yes, Ma’am!”

is and how to apply this in a sentence
now?"

"All right, to know whether you understood

our lesson for today I have here 5 gerund
examples for you to use in a sentence."
1. Swimming
2. Running
3. Jogging
4. Playing
5. Reading
“Ma’am!”
“Who wants to give it a try?”
“Swimming is my favorite sport, ma’am”
“Yes ?”
“Ma’am!”
“Okay, very good! Now, who can use
Running in a sentence?”
“She made running her routine, ma’am”
“Yes ?”
“Ma’am!”
“All right. How about the word jogging?”
“My favorite sport is jogging, ma’am”
“Yes ?”
“Ma’am!”
“Okay! next?”
“The girls were playing with cat, Ma’am”
“Yes ?”
“Ma’am!”
“I enjoy reading”
“Okay! Lastly the word reading”

"Well done, class; it looks that you have all

absorbed today's lessons. But first, I would
like to remind you guys that Gerunds are “Yes, Ma’am!”
not the only verbal cues that may end in "-
ing," so be sure that the word you choose
acts as a noun in the phrase. Is that
clear class?”
B. Generalization

“So now, I want to hear what you have “I learned that the gerund is as regular as an
learned about the topic we discussed today element of speech that we all use daily,
in one or two sentences. Anybody?” whether we realize it or not.”

“All right. What else? Anyone?" “Gerunds are words that begin with a verb
but function as nouns. They're simple to
detect because every gerund is a word with
ing added to the end.”

“Very good! Okay then, give us an “Ma’am for example, "dance" becomes
example.” "dancing," and "sing" becomes "singing."

“Good job everyone! It seems that you “Yes, Ma’am!”

really learned from our discussion this
afternoon.

C. Application

“To expand and test your understanding of

our lesson. We will conduct a short activity. “Yes, Ma’am!”
I would like you to tell me the gerund words
that show on our screen. But before that, I
would like you to read it first and then
answer it. Is that clear, class?”
“Ma’am!”
“Who would like to read?”
“My friend Alfonso enjoys cooking. He also
really likes eating. But one month ago, his
“Yes ?”
girlfriend told him to lose weight, so he
decided to join a gym. In the beginning, it
was difficult to go regularly. He tried to
go every day, but sometimes he forgot to go.
Yesterday, he drank beer with me instead
of exercising. He prefers drinking alcohol
to lifting weights, of course. His girlfriend
called him when we were at the pub. He
stopped drinking his beer to answer the
 phone. He promised to be home by 10 p.m.
However, we kept drinking until we ran out
of money.”

“All right, thank you!”

“So, class, could you tell me the gerund “Ma’am!”

word that you noticed based on what you
have read on our PowerPoint
presentation?”
“Ma’am the 3 Gerund words are Cooking,
“Yes ? Could you give us at Eating and exercising”
least 3 gerund words that you see on the
screen?”

“Very good. So, who can give me the rest of ‘Ma’am!”

the gerund words that appear on the
screen? They are still two gerund words in
there. Could you please tell us what those
are?”
“The remaining two gerunds are Drinking and
Lifting, Ma’am!”
“Yes ?”

“Okay, good job, guys! Your responses are

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
correct. Cooking, Eating, Exercising,

Drinking, and Lifting is examples of gerund

round of applause!”
“None, Ma’am!”
“Before we end this lesson, do you have any
questions or clarification class?”

“All right, if none, I'll give you a short quiz to

see if you fully understand our lesson, I'll
email you the link, and I will wait your
responses until 6 p.m.”

“I will also send you assignments to our
