1) Discuss
Look at these verbs.
Are they followed by a gerund or infinitive?
2) Speak
Look at the list of verbs in the presentation and make sentences using a gerund or an infinitive after each verb.
Example - I can't stand driving in the city.
3) Practise
Do the exercise
4) Write
Write some sentences using the verbs above which are true for you.
Example - I detest eating prunes.
I'm just a poor EFL teacher. I can't afford to buy new shoes.
5) Practise
Here are 5 songs with gerunds and infinitives in the titles.
How many do you know? Can you think of any more songs with a gerund or an infinitive in the title?
I Promise To Try
I Can't Stand Losing You
Imagine (having no possesions...)
Learn to Fly
I Want To Break Free
