1、动词原形不能作主语和宾语

2、V-ing 形式能作主语和宾语，V-ing 形式作主语时谓语动词用单数

（设计意图：通过问问题自然引入本节课的内容，V-ing 形式能作主语和宾语）

Step2 Presentation （18mins）

一、V-ing 形式作主语

The teacher shows three pictures and asks the Ss to fill in the blanks. 1.__________

（设计意图：通过展示图片引起学生的兴趣，活跃课堂气氛，进而引入V-ing 形式作主语）

The teacher says “ As we all know , we should have enough sleep to keep healthy. Staying up isn’t good for us. We can also say it’s no good/no use/useless staying up late.”

The teacher asks “Do you think playing computer games is interesting? However, playing computer games is a waste of time. We can also say it’s a waste of time playing computer games.”

V-ing形式作主语时常后置, 此时须用it作形式主语, 用形容词或名词作表语。

常见句型：

It’s no use/ no good/ fun /a waste of time/useless/worthwhile doing sth.

（设计意图：通过和学生互动自然引入it作形式主语的常见句型）

板书设计：

一、V-ing 形式作主语，it作形式主语的常见句型It’s no use/ no good/ fun /a waste of time/useless/worthwhile doing sth. Exercises: 1.学习新单词对我来说非常重要。

____________________ is very important for me．

2.看电视太多对我们的眼睛有害。

__________________________ harm to our eyes. 3.和他争辩是没有什么用的。

___________________________________________ 二、V-ing 形式作动词宾语

The teacher shows two pictures and asks the Ss to fill in the blanks. 1.

Her sister enjoys __________ (站) alone on the seashore.

2.

The hard-working girl practises __________________(讲英语) every day. （设计意图：通过展示图片引起学生的兴趣，活跃课堂气氛，进而引入V-ing 形式作动词宾语）

V-ing 形式作动词宾语常见动词:admit/practise/avoid/consider/keep…+doing sth 板书设计：二、V-ing 形式作动词宾语, V-ing 形式作动词宾语常见动词:admit/practise/avoid/consider/keep…+doing sth

Exercises: 1.他承认偷了钱。

__________________________________________ 2.这富商考虑过帮助村里的穷人。

___________________________________________

三、V-ing 形式作介词宾语

The teacher shows two pictures and asks the Ss tell something about Jane Goodall

and Yuan Longping in the pictures using the sentence structures:

She devotes herself to … ;He is concerned about …

（设计意图：通过展示图片引起学生的兴趣，回顾他们刚学过有关这两位名人的课文内容，活跃课堂气氛，进而引入V-ing 形式作介词宾语）

Ask the students to translate the following sentences and pay attention to the use of “to”

as preposition and infinitive He

used to eat junk food for lunch. He is used to running in the morning now. used to do 过去常常做某事

be used to doing 习惯于做某事

（设计意图：通过翻译这两个句子，让学生区别to 作为介词和不定式，后面所接动词的形

2

式不同）

下列短语中的to都是介词, 所以后面用V-ing形式: devote oneself to, lead to ,look forward to …+ doing sth

板书设计：三、V-ing 形式作介词宾语，下列短语中的to都是介词, 所以后面用V-ing形式: devote oneself to, lead to ,look forward to …+ doing sth

Ask the students to translate the following sentences and pay attention to the omission of preposition in some phrases. The farmers are busy (in) working in the field. The girl has some difficulty (in) doing the maths problem. （设计意图：通过翻译这两个句子，让学生注意有些省略了介词的短语）

有些省略了介词的短语要特别注意: spend time (in) doing sth. , be busy (in) doing sth., have some difficulty/trouble (in) doing sth…

板书设计：省略了介词的短语，spend time (in) doing sth. , be busy (in) doing sth., have some difficulty/trouble (in) doing sth…

（设计意图：通过让学生练习英语口语体现语言输出，将所学到的语法知识运用到语言交际当中，活跃课堂气氛，进一步加深学生对V-ing 形式作主语和宾语用法的理解）

（设计意图：通过作业让学生巩固对V-ing 形式作主语和宾语用法的认识，对于一些特殊情况即教学难点让学生有针对性先去预习，便于下节课的内容展开。而且，可以从作业的反馈情况了解学生掌握的程度）

二、教学反思

本节课在引入部分通过问问题自然引入本节课的内容，V-ing 形式能作主语和宾语。在呈现本节课的语法知识V-ing 形式能作主语和宾语时，展示一些有趣的图片，激发学生的学习兴趣和动力，很自然地引入本节课语法的话题，活跃了课堂的气氛。这一届高一学生英语基础薄弱，词汇量少，语法知识薄弱，这加大了他们学习-ing 形式能作主语和宾语这一语法知识的难度，有畏难的情绪。笔者在这节课中，着重教会学生如何有效地记忆一些常见句型和固定搭配，区别to 做不定式和介词的不同用法，由浅入深，循循善诱，这对于班上英语基础薄弱的学生提高语法知识水平起到很好的效果。到了让他们讨论训练口语时，学生就表现出浓厚的兴趣，学习积极性高涨，参与度高。课后的语法作业反馈，大部分学生能将所学的知识运用到实际练习中，答对率有所提高，但对于v-ing作介词宾语的用法难度较大的题目还需进一步指导。
