Part 1: Teaching Design

Learning about Language (Revise the Past Participle as the Attribute, Predicates & Object Complement) Aims To help students revise the Past Participle as the Attribute, Predicates & Object Complement To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions To help students discover and learn to use some useful structures Procedures I. Warming up by reading aloud to the recording of the text II. Discovering useful words and expressions Now it’s time to do the two exercises on page 23. Ask Ss to check their work with their partners III. Talking about the participle The Participle A participle is an adjective formed from a verb. To make a present participle, you add "-ing" to the verb, sometimes doubling the final consonant: "think" becomes "thinking"

"fall" becomes "falling"

"run" becomes "running"

The second type of participle, the past participle, is a little more complicated, since not all verbs form the past tense regularly. The following are all past participles: the sunken ship

a ruined city

a misspelled word

Note that only transitive verbs can use their past participles as adjectives, and that unlike other verbals, past participles do not take objects (unless they are part of a compound verb). Past Participle To form the past participle of a verb, add the ending -ed to the base form. (But note that many

common verbs have irregular past participle forms.) The past participle is used in the following circumstances:

＊After the auxiliary have in the perfect tense

Has the gas chromatograph been fixed yet? ＊After a form of the auxiliary be in the passive voice

The gas chromatograph was fixed on Monday. ＊After the verbs have and get with a causative meaning

We had the gas chromatograph fixed last week. ＊As a passive participial adjective

The recently fixed gas chromatograph is broken again. IV. Discovering useful structures You are next to do the exercises 1, 2, 3, and 4 on page 23 and 24.
