GERUNDS AND INFINITIVES AFTER ADJECTIVES, NOUNS, AND PRONOUNS

Work in pairs. Student A chooses a square and finishes the sentence with a gerund or an infinitive.
Student B checks whether the sentence is correct or not. If the sentence is correct, Student A writes an X.
Then Student B chooses a square and completes the sentence. If the sentence is correct, Student B writes an O.
Take turns. The first person to get three in a row is the winner.
