Class 1 – Tuesday, November 9th
Today we are going to go over gerund vs. infinitive verb patterns. These grammatical structures are often in CAE exam and they can equally be used for the writing part of it.
So, how do we grapple with them? Tricky little things, the verbs! Ssshh, here’s a little secret: there is a list of verbs to know when you should use „to“ and when you should use the „ing-form“.
But if you’re not the type to simply memorize various lists, worry not! We will try to use this mind map to help us figure out when to use the forms above:
Also we will put it to a test and try to do a verb patterns quiz:

We will then do the task 4 on the page 20 of Student’s book.

Class 2 – Thursday, November 11th
Today we will continue practicing the use of infinitive and gerunds.
First we will do tasks 2 and 4 in Student’s book, page 20.
Then we will see a difference when using a gerund as a subject and using it as an object in a sentence:
