of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring
noons, and sunsets smeared with a lot color. Often at night there is lightning, but it quivers all

Learning Activities:
To clear any misunderstanding, explain the difference between infinitives, gerunds and 25 Min
participles.
Teaching Gerunds
 Gerunds always end with the suffix ing, functions as a noun in the sentence, and answers
the question "what."
o Tell learners to find the verb and ask themselves "what."
o For example: Surfing is fun.
o First, find the verb: is
o Next, ask yourself–what is?
o Finally, answer your question–surfing. Surfing is the gerund.
o Finding gerunds is as easy as 1-2-3.
 Teaching Participles
o Participles always have verb endings -ing, ed, -n, -t, etc. More importantly,
participles function as adjectives,
o which sets them apart from gerunds.
o Example of a participle:
o Jack, walking down the road, was looking at the lake.
o The participle is walking, as it ends in ing and is describing Jack.
 Teaching Infinitives
o Infinitives are verb phrases that begin with the word "to" and will be followed by
an action verb.
o For example: To understand the material, one must study.
o The Infinitive verb phrase is "to understand the material" with the infinitive being
"to understand."
