C. Lesson Proper
1. Motivation
To start our lesson for today, I will pick some students to pick one number and each number
has corresponding words.
(The students will act the chosen word then the rest will guess the student’s action that ends in
–ing.)
Actions to be performed by the students:
1. Reading
2. Writing
3. Singing
4. Planting
5. Dancing
(The teacher will now ask the students what they have noticed.)\
What did you notice?
(the student’s answer may vary)
Exactly! When a verb ends in –ing, it may be a gerund or a present participle. It is important to
understand that they are not the same.
What is the difference between gerund and present participle?
(the students will raise their answers)
Now, lets see if you really understand the lesson, but before that I will discuss first what are
the different functions of gerunds.

appositive, subjective complement and object of preposition)
“Any questions so far?”

Very good! Let’s apply now what you’ve learned. I will group you into five and answer the
following questions. Use these worksheets for you to answer the activity.
“For your activity, you will locate the gerund (gerund phrase) in each sentence. Then identify
the gerund’s function in the sentence as subject, direct object, subjective complement, object
of preposition or appositive.
Note: If the gerund is part of a gerund phrase, include the whole phrase in your answer.
