Teaching Procedures:

Step 1.

Ask Ss to read the reading text again and finish Ex1 on P28 Suggested answers:

Purpose: To get Ss to know the function of the v–ing form of the verb. 1. Ask Ss to work in pairs and finish Ex1 on P29. After that, lead them to draw a conclusion. Conclusion: The rule of the grammar in this unit. We have learned that the v–ing form of the verb can be used as the subject and the object in Unit 2 and it is can be used as the predicative and the attributive in Unit 3. In this unit, we will go on to learn the v–ing form of the verbused as the attributive and the adverbial. (1) As the attributive —

A single v–ing form should be placed before the noun it serves; if a phrase after the noun it serves. For example: running water; floating ice block; leaking pipes; dripping taps; a boy standing there; the man smoking a cigarette; the driver driving a new car a sleeping bag; a fishing pole; a sewing machine…

(2) As the adverbial —The v–ing form should be used as the adverbial of time, reason, way, result, condition , etc. For example: Passing the house, he saw a girl playing the piano. (time)

I got to know him while working with him. (time) Being excited, none of us could fall asleep. (reason) He came running. (way) She stood waiting for a bus. (accompany) They opened the fire, killing one soldier. (result) (3)The v–ing form can be used in the following structures. ①

Present participle phrases such as adding /pointing out/reminding/warning can introduce statements in indirect speech. For example: He told me to start early, reminding me that the roads would be crowded. ②

After the verbs of sensation, such as see, hear, smell, listen (to), notice, and watch, the action can be either complete or incomplete. For example: I see him passing my house every day.

Didn’t you hear the clock sticking?

I felt the car skidding.

She smelt something burning and saw smoke rising.

I watched them rehearsing the play. ③

catch, find, leave+ object + present participle. For example: I caught him stealing the apples. (I found him doing this.) If she catches you reading her diary, she will be furious.

I found him standing at the door. I left him talking to Bob. = He was talking to Bob when I left. ④

spend/waste + an expression of time /money +v-ing. For example: He spends two hours a day traveling. Tom spends much money modernizing his house. ⑤ e busy +v.-in. For example: She is/ was busy packing.

⑥

The v-ing can replace as/since/because +subject +verb. For example: Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to buy food on his journey he took large supplies with him. Being a student he was naturally interested in museums. ⑦

When one action is immediately followed by another by the same subject, the first action can be expressed by a present participle. For example: He rode away. He whistled as he went. = He rode away whistling. ⑧

When the second action forms part of the first, or is the result of it, we can express the second action by a present participle. For example: She went out, slamming the door. He fell over, hitting his head against the table.

⑨The negative form of the v-ing form is ‘not v-ing; the present perfect form is “having done”; the passive form is “being done”.
