Categorizing (5-8 minutes) • students practice their understanding of the rule given in a context

Students classify the list of verbs given in the HO into two grammatical groups. Students then are given a sheet of paper that contains the grammar to check their answers.

Ordering Sentences and Deducing a rule (10-15 minutes) • to order sentences in a logical contextual order, and to deduce that -ing form comes after

Students order strips of paper that has sentences in the context of a story. They discuss the reasons behind their ordering. then, they check if their answers are correct by listening to a sound track. Finally, they deduce that -ing form comes after verb+ preposition form. Students then make a list of the verbs and the prepositions being used. If we have time they might write sentences, if not they may take it home.

Producing Sentences (5-10 minutes) • to produce the language that they have been learning in a written form

Students study the examples in exercise 3 individually then write their own sentences. They exchange papers and check for each other.
