B. Establishing a Welcome to this exciting lesson,
Purpose for the where we explore gerunds a
Lesson special type of verbal that looks
like a verb but functions as a
noun! Every day, we talk about
activities we enjoy, habits we
develop, and experiences we have.
But did you know that words like
"swimming," "reading," and
"dancing" are not just verbs but
also nouns when used in certain
ways?
In this lesson, we will dive deep
into the world of gerunds and
learn how to:
Identify and understand gerunds
in sentences
Recognize how gerunds function
as subjects, objects, and
complements
Use gerunds effectively to make
your writing more natural and
expressive
By mastering gerunds, you’ll
improve your ability to construct
smooth, varied, and engaging
sentences helping you in writing,
speaking, and even professional
communication. Let’s get started!
C. Presenting Before we dive into today’s
Examples/Instances lesson, let's start with a fun
of the Lesson question:
What activities do you
enjoy doing in your free
time?
Think about things like
swimming, dancing, reading,
or playing video games.
Now, imagine you're
introducing yourself to
someone new. How would
you complete this sentence?
“One of my favorite
hobbies is ______.”
Surprise! The words you just
used swimming, dancing,
reading, playing aren’t just
verbs; they are gerunds!
D. Discussing Let us first define:
New Concepts and VERBAL
Practicing New Skills Verbal - A verbal is a verb
form that functions as a
different part of speech
rather than as a main verb in
a sentence.
A verbal is a verb operating
as another part of speech,
such as a noun, an adjective,
or an adverb. A verbal also
can function in different
sentence roles such as
subject, direct object,
subject complement, and
object of a preposition.
There are three types of
verbal:
Gerunds – Verbs that
function as nouns and
always end in "-ing"
Participles – Verbs that
function as adjectives
(present participles end in "-
ing", and past participles
usually end in "-ed," "-d," "-
t," "-en," or "-n")
Infinitives – The base form
of a verb, usually preceded
by "to", functioning as a
noun, adjective, or adverb
Today's lesson we will
focus on gerunds, a type
of verbal that acts as a
noun.
Let us first discuss the
first type of verbal
Gerunds
A gerund is a verb that ends
in
"-ing" but functions as a
noun in a sentence.
Example:
Swimming is fun. (Swimming
is the subject, not an action.)
I enjoy reading. (Reading is
the object, not an action.)
Functions of Gerunds
in a Sentence
Subject: A gerund can be
the subject of a sentence. It
is always singular.
What is subject?
Subject is something that is
being discussed. In a
sentence, the subject is
the person, place, thing,
or idea that the sentence
is about, and it's typically
a noun or pronoun that
performs the action or is
described by the verb.
How to find the subject?
By asking “what word is the
sentence telling something
about?”
Object of Preposition: The
Object of a Preposition is a
noun, pronoun, or noun
phrase that follows a
preposition and gives
meaning to the sentence by
completing the prepositional
phrase.
Direct Object:
Is a noun that receives
the action of a
transitive action verb.
Generally found after
verbs.
You can determine if a
word is a direct object
by asking Whom? or
What
Subject Complement:
Is a noun that appears
with a linking verb and
tells something about
the subject of the
sentence.
Note: a subject compliment
will always be found after
linking verb.
Appositive:
A word in apposition is
“placed next to” to
another word.
Noun placed to
another noun to
identify, renames, or
explain.
Example:
Tony’s car, a sedan, ran out
of gas on the bridge.
Her hobby, graphology, us
the study of handwriting.
Notice: Notice also that
appositives above are set off
by commas. The commas
indicate that these
appositives are not essential
to the basic meaning of the
sentences.
E. Continuation
of the Discussion
F. Developing Activity 1:
Mastery Underline the gerund. Then,
explain its use in each
sentence.
1. Helping a friend is an
automatic “yes” in your
book.
2. Helping others with a
favor is dangerous and
should be avoided.
3. When it comes to helping,
ultimately, it’s not even
about experiencing money
or just helping friends out.
4. Take time getting used to
refusing people’s requests.
5. Although simple, it is
similar to the rules that
prevent people from
bumping into others in the
streets.
6. Won’t people see you as a
jerk in refusing to help
them?
7. Individuals may even get
mad for saying “no” to them.
8. You can boil this down as
the difference of needing vs.
Wanting help.
9. One way to deal with this
is by giving your closest
friends and family a higher
priority.
10. You can’t stand still
watching others in need, but
at the same time you can’t
assist everyone to your own
detriment.
G. Finding Practical It’s not enough to just know For better
applications of what gerund is and its uses. understanding.
concept and skills. It is important to know how : Better communication
significant gerund is in your
life as a student? Can you
share your thoughts
class?
H. Making Who can define what gerund gerund is a verbal, or a
Generalization and is? word derived from a
Abstractions about verbending in -ing that
the lesson plays the role of a noun.
What about the functions of
gerund in sentences?
