b) Content

Ss work in pairs to classify the verbs into three groups:

  • Group A (V-ing only): enjoy, fancy, dislike, hate
  • Group B (V-ing or to-infinitive): like, love, prefer
    Question for Ss: Which verbs are followed only by V-ing? Which verbs can take both V-ing and to-infinitive?
    Ss then read the sentences: Mai enjoys making paper birds. She likes to read before bed. and discuss why the form changes.
    Note: enjoy to make is NOT correct.

  • V-ing only: enjoy, fancy, dislike, hate
  • V-ing or to-infinitive: like, love, prefer (V-ing is used when talking about general hobbies)
