I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Identify verbs followed by to-infinitive (decide, hope, want, plan).
    • Identify verbs followed by V-ing (enjoy, avoid, finish, mind).
    • Use the correct verb pattern to build meaningful sentences about family life and lifestyle, then and now.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss work out the verb pattern from the intended meaning and check their own answers against the worked examples before reporting.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and small groups to build, check and explain sentences, and give reasons for their choices in English.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss apply the rule to new sentences about their own family routines instead of memorising the model answers.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read and discuss model sentences, speak in pairs to explain verb patterns, and write two original sentences about family routines.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss use the verb patterns to-infinitive and V-ing correctly, and use the vocabulary lifestyle, extended family, nuclear family and privacy in context.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss complete all the exercises on the worksheet and correct their own mistakes without being asked.
  • Responsibility: Ss take an active part in pair and group work and check their partner's answers carefully.
  • Kindness: Ss listen respectfully to their classmates' answers and give positive, constructive feedback.

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Sorting Verbs: Which Pattern?

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge of verbs and recall the idea that some verbs are followed by to-infinitive and others by V-ing.

b) Content

T writes eight verbs on the board: decide, hope, want, plan, enjoy, avoid, finish, mind. T asks Ss to guess which verbs go with to-infinitive and which go with V-ing. Ss work individually for one minute, then compare with a partner.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss’ predicted groups:

  • To-infinitive group: decide, hope, want, plan
  • V-ing group: enjoy, avoid, finish, mind
    S’ guesses are checked and kept on the board for later reference.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the eight verbs on the board and says: 'Look at these verbs. Which ones are followed by to-infinitive and which by V-ing? Guess first.' T gives one minute.

    Students

    Ss look at the verbs and quietly decide which group each verb belongs to.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to turn to a partner and compare their guesses. T walks around and listens.

    Students

    Ss compare their guesses in pairs, e.g. 'I think decide goes with to-infinitive because we say decide to do something.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites two or three pairs to share their groups and writes the suggested groups on the board. T asks: 'Why do you think so?'

    Students

    Ss report, e.g. 'We think hope and want take to-infinitive. We think enjoy and avoid take V-ing.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises the good guesses, says that today's lesson will check the patterns, and keeps the board groups for reference.

    Students

    Ss listen and note the title of the lesson: Verb patterns.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Verbs Followed by To-infinitive

a) Aims

Ss identify the verbs decide, hope, want and plan followed by to-infinitive, and understand that the verb pattern is part of the verb, not optional.

b) Content

T shows the language focus and the example sentences: 'We decided to interview grandparents.' and 'We plan to compare two learning methods.' T guides Ss through Worked example 1: 'We decided ___ our grandparents. (interview)'. Ss identify the subject (We) and the verb (decided), then choose the correct form. Ss complete Part A of Worksheet 1 in pairs.

c) Expected outcomes

Key knowledge written in Ss' notebooks:

  • decide + to-infinitive: We decided to interview our grandparents.
  • hope + to-infinitive: I hope to learn more about the past.
  • want + to-infinitive: I want to learn.
  • plan + to-infinitive: We plan to compare two learning methods.
    Completed Part A of Worksheet 1: We decided to interview our grandparents.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the language focus on the projector and reads it aloud. T asks: 'Look at the verb decide. What comes after it in the sentence?' T then shows Worked example 1 and explains: 'First, find the meaning. Then identify the subject and the verb pattern.'

    Students

    Ss read the language focus silently and follow the worked example in their notebooks. Ss answer: 'After decide we use to-infinitive.'

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Worksheet 1, Part A to each pair and asks them to apply the rule to the new sentence 'We decided ___ our grandparents. (interview)' and then to 'I hope ___ more about the past'. T monitors and helps pairs who are stuck.

    Students

    Pairs discuss: 'The meaning is that we will do the interview. Decide takes to-infinitive, so it is to interview.' They write their answers on the worksheet.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks one or two pairs to read their answers aloud and asks the class: 'Do you agree? Why?'

    Students

    A pair reports: 'We decided to interview our grandparents. Decide takes to-infinitive.' Other Ss agree or ask questions.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the rule: decide, hope, want and plan are followed by to-infinitive. T stresses that the pattern is not optional and writes the rule in a box on the board.

    Students

    Ss copy the rule into their notebooks and add one example of their own.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Verbs Followed by V-ing

a) Aims

Ss identify the verbs enjoy, avoid, finish and mind followed by V-ing, and apply the rule to the worked example 'She enjoys ___ stories. (share)'.

b) Content

T shows the example sentences: 'They enjoy sharing memories.' and 'They avoid using phones during meals.' T guides Ss through Worked example 2: 'She enjoys ___ stories. (share)'. Ss identify the subject (She) and the verb (enjoys), then decide the form. Ss complete the sentence on Worksheet 1, Part B: 'Build the sentence'.

c) Expected outcomes

Key knowledge written in Ss' notebooks:

  • enjoy + V-ing: They enjoy sharing memories. / She enjoys sharing stories.
  • avoid + V-ing: They avoid using phones during meals.
  • finish + V-ing: We finished writing the report.
  • mind + V-ing: Do you mind waiting?
    Completed Part B of Worksheet 1: We plan to compare two learning methods.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the verbs enjoy, avoid, finish and mind on the projector. T asks: 'What form follows these verbs? Look at the example: They enjoy sharing memories.' T shows Worked example 2 and asks Ss to find the key verb.

    Students

    Ss read the examples and answer: 'After enjoy we use V-ing.'

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Worksheet 1, Part B and asks pairs to build the sentence 'We → plan → to compare → two learning methods' and to complete 'She enjoys ___ stories. (share)'. T reminds Ss to use the rule, not only the answer.

    Students

    Pairs say the rule aloud: 'Enjoy takes V-ing, so it is sharing.' They write the sentence: 'We plan to compare two learning methods.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on one pair to read the sentence about enjoy and another pair to read the sentence about plan. T asks: 'Why is it sharing and not to share?'

    Students

    A pair reports: 'She enjoys sharing stories. Enjoy takes V-ing.' Another pair reports: 'We plan to compare two learning methods. Plan takes to-infinitive.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the two patterns: to-infinitive after decide, hope, want, plan; V-ing after enjoy, avoid, finish, mind. T asks Ss to check the groups on the board from the warm-up and correct any mistakes.

    Students

    Ss compare the board groups with their notes and correct their guesses if needed.

Activity 3: Practice · 14 minutes

Choose, Complete and Check

a) Aims

  5. Build the sentence: We → plan → to compare → two learning methods.
  6. Check verb patterns: a) I want to learn. b) I enjoy to learn. Decide whether each sentence is True or False and correct the false one.

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:

  1. to interview (Decide takes to-infinitive.)
  2. sharing (Enjoy takes V-ing.)
  3. B. using phones (Avoid + V-ing.)
  4. C. to learn (Hope + to-infinitive.)
  5. We plan to compare two learning methods. (Plan + to-infinitive.)

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T displays exercises 1 to 6 and reads the instructions. T says: 'Work with your partner. For each item, first identify the verb and then choose the pattern.'

    Students

    Ss read the exercises and ask questions about any unclear words.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives pairs about 10 minutes. T walks around, checks answers and gently asks: 'Which verb is in the sentence? What pattern does it take?'

    Students

    Pairs complete the exercises. Example reasoning: 'Avoid takes V-ing, so B is correct.' Pairs check each other's answers.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on different pairs to give answers to items 3, 4 and 6. T asks the class to say whether they agree.

    Students

    Pairs report, e.g. 'Number 6b is False. We enjoy learning.' Other Ss agree or give a different reason.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T shows the answer key on the projector and corrects any remaining errors. T emphasises: 'The verb pattern is part of the verb. Do not translate word by word.'

    Students

    Ss check their answers and correct their mistakes in their notebooks.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

My Family Routines

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T reads exercises 7 and 8 and explains the task: 'Write two sentences about your family. Use enjoy and decide correctly. Then share your sentences with a partner.' T may write the words lifestyle, extended family and nuclear family on the board as support.

    Students

    Ss read the instructions and think of a family routine they know, such as eating dinner together or cooking on weekends.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Ss about five minutes to write. T checks the sentences and suggests corrections where needed.

    Students

    Ss write sentences individually. Example: 'We enjoy watching TV together on Sunday. My parents decided to cook a traditional meal.' Ss then tell a partner their sentences.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites three or four Ss to read their sentences aloud. T asks the class: 'Does the sentence use the correct pattern? How do you know?'

    Students

    Ss read their sentences, e.g. 'We enjoy eating together every evening. Enjoy takes V-ing.' Classmates give feedback.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises the good sentences and gives a quick reminder: check the verb pattern every time you use these verbs. T sets the homework.
