STEP 1: Ask the pupils to look at the way the “-ing” form of the verb is formed. Let them tell you what they notice in the verb (answer: the silent „e‟ at the end of the verb is omitted when „ing‟ is added to it).
Note: Look at the grammar information about Gerund on Page 123 in Pupil‟s book for the rules of adding „-ing‟ to verbs.
STEP 2: Then the pupils should copy and write the “-ing” form of the six verbs in their exercise books.
Answer key:take – taking / sweep – sweeping / work – working / dust – dusting / clean – cleaning / do – doing / work – working
