Then can you tell me what you see?

Good job! That is right. Now, for the last set.

The man is dancing and the woman is

singing.

What do you observe in these GIFs?

You are right! I appreciate those who participated. I

hope that everyone has a clue about our topic for
today.

D. Lesson Proper

So class, let us go back to your answers to our activity

a while ago.

I will present your answers:

“The man is running and the other one is writing.”

“Reading, planting.”
“The man is dancing and the woman is singing.”

From your answers a while ago, what can you infer? Based on my classmates’ answers, I can say
that they are all performing actions, Ma’am.

Good! And what do you call those words that are Verbs, Ma’am.
describing an action?

Great! Now, what have you observed from these These verbs end with -ing, Ma’am.
verbs?

Exactly! Now class, those verb forms ending in -ing are

called Gerunds. Gerunds function as a noun or an

object in a sentence. If another word accompanies a

gerund, then it makes a gerund phrase. For example,
speaking to elders, skimming the text, or listening to
music.

Let’s take a look at this set of sentences:

1. Drinking coffee has been Albert’s past time

when he’s in a break.
2. Studying is searching for the unknown.
3. My sister Lucia dislikes eating sweets.

Can you identify what is the gerund that was used in The gerund that was used in the first
the first sentence? sentence is drinking.

Correct. So the gerund drinking is used as what? It was used as the subject of the sentence.

Good. Now, can you give another statement where the Swimming is so good for our health, Ma’am.
gerund functions as the subject of the sentence?

Nice! How about in the second sentence? What is the The gerund that was used in the second
gerund that was used and what is its function in the sentence is searching. Since the subject of
sentence. Yes, Aira? the sentence is studying, searching for the
unknown functions as a predicate noun.

Exactly. Now class, you must remember that a gerund

functions as predicate noun if it comes after linking Yes, Ma’am.
verbs. Understood?

Now, who wants to give me a sentence where a

gerund functions as a predicate noun? Anyone from (Students raise their hands)
the group? (Students answers)

My favorite activity is playing golf.

Excellent! For the last sentence. Rupert, will you

please identify the gerund phrase used and its function Yes, Ma’am. The gerund phrase that was
in the sentence? used in the third sentence is eating sweets
and it functions as a direct object.
Can you give me another statement where the gerund
functions as a direct object? Yes, Ma’am. I love jogging.

Very good! Now, let’s try to create sentences using

gerunds and gerund phrases. (Students raise their hands)

“I was afraid of hurting her feelings.”

Great! Let’s have another one.
“We enjoy playing UNO cards”

That’s great guys! You can now identify what a gerund

is. You just have to remember that in order for you to

easily spot a gerund, you have to look with the verb

with -ing that is tacked to its tail. Are we clear on this? Yes, Ma’am.
