GRAMMAR: gerunds and infinitives

How much do you know?

Gerunds and Infinitives

Rules:When one verb follows another, the first verb determines the form of the second. This can be the gerund (verb + -ing) or the infinitive.

• Use the gerund after certain verbs and expressions, e.g. enjoy, can’t help, feel like.
• When a phrasal verb is followed by another verb, the second verb is in the gerund.
• Use the infinitive (with to) after certain verbs, e.g. want, afford.
• Use the infinitive (without to) after modal verbs and some expressions, e.g. might, would rather, and after the verbs make and let.
• Some verbs, e.g. start, begin, and continue can be followed by the gerund or infinitive (with to) with no difference in meaning.

Environmentally friendly: doing things that help the environment, e.g. recycling).

First vs zero conditional We use the first conditional to talk about a particular situation, whereas we use the zero conditional to talk about what happens in general. If you don’t use oil, it tastes awful. (=I’m talking about what happens every time.) If you don’t use oil, it will taste awful. (=I’m talking about this particular occasion.)

The topic of this lesson is risk. We are going to:

• Talk and listen about risk-takers and the rise in popularity of extreme sports
• Learn or revise conditionals.
• Expand your knowledge of future time clauses and real conditionals, and see the variety of tenses that can be used apart from the present simple and future simple.
• In Pronunciation, we are going to look at linked phrases.
• Learn vocabulary about common collocations with take(e.g. take a risk, take seriously).

• Do you enjoy watching survival stories or movies?
• Have you ever been on an adventure trip that turned into a challenging situation?
• What qualities do you think are necessary for survival in extreme conditions?
• How important is it to have a positive mindset in difficult situations like being lost in the jungle?
• Do you think you would be able to survive in the Amazon rainforest if you were in a similar situation as Yosi Ginsburg?

Instructions: You will work in pairs in breakout rooms for this activity. Ask your partner the questions listed. Make sure to provide more details when answering, not just "yes" or "no" responses. Once you finish discussing, come back to the main room. In the main room, you will share something interesting about your partner's answers with the rest of the group. Be ready to explain what your partner said and provide additional details if asked.

Explanation of Used to PronunciationIn English, used to can be pronounced differently depending on the context and meaning. Here’s how it changes in each of the examples.

• When used to indicates a past habit or repeated action, it is pronounced /ˈjuːst tə/.
• When used to indicates the process of adapting or getting accustomed, it is also pronounced /ˈjuːst tə/.
• When used is part of the passive voice, showing purpose or function, it’s pronounced with a strong "d" sound at the end:

/ˈjuːzd/.

• In Pronunciation, we are going to look at linked phrases.
• Learn vocabulary about common collocations with take(e.g. take a risk, take seriously).

Second or third conditional?

• The second conditional refers to a hypothetical situation in the present or future, which can sometimes be changed and sometimes not, e.g. If she were taller, she could get a job as a model (situation can’t be changed). If you studied more, you would pass the exam (situation could be changed).
• The third conditional refers to hypothetical situations in the past which didn’t happen, e.g. If we had known you were in hospital, we would have visited you (we didn’t know, so we didn’t visit you).

Mixed conditionalsSometimes the second and third conditionals are mixed.

Imagine you are given the responsibility of making a choice for the entire world to solve a plastic-related issue, but there’s a catch! You can only choose between two difficult options. In pairs or small groups, discuss the following question: Would you rather ban ALL single-use plastics globally and disrupt industries or implement a global tax on all plastic production that increases the price of plastic goods by 300%? Each group should:

• Pick one option.
• Discuss the impacts and consequences.
• Get ready to share and defend your decision with the rest of the class.

In English, some words sound very similar but have different meanings based on whether the sound is /s/ (unvoiced) or /z/ (voiced).

First vs zero conditional We use the first conditional to talk about a particular situation, whereas we use the zero conditional to talk about what happens in general. If you don’t use oil, it tastes awful. (=I’m talking about what happens every time.) If you don’t use oil, it will taste awful. (=I’m talking about this particular occasion.)

• They help convey opinions, attitudes, or judgments in conversation. Some examples include: unfortunately, obviously, clearly, surprisingly, and luckily.
• These adverbs modify the entire sentence, helping express the speaker's viewpoint or emphasis. Example:
• "Surprisingly, she decided to join the project at the last minute."
• "Obviously, this decision was not easy to make."

Our climate is changing quickly, too quickly. And great creativity is needed to do what it does so well: to provoke us to think differently with dramatic creative statements.

The topic of this lesson is survival. We are going to:

• Talk about how you think you would react in an emergency situation
• Read about a British reality TV show in which groups of participants have to survive on a remote uninhabited island.
• Listen to an interview with one of the participants talking about the best and worst experiences on the island.
• Learn vocabulary focus on feelings

• Look at word stress in three- or four-syllable adjectives.
• Learn or revise the second and third conditionals.
• Write a blog post.

Although the difference between these two sounds is small, there are pairs of words where the only difference is whether there is a /s/ or /z/ sound, and this section raises awareness of the comprehension problems that might occur if you don’t discriminate successfully between the sounds when you hear them, or if you don’t produce them precisely.

In pairs or small groups, you'll be given real-life scenarios (e.g., "You lost your keys," "You got a promotion at work"). You'll have to describe the situation using at least three comment adverbs to show different emotions about the same event. Example scenario: Situation: You lost your keys. "Obviously, I had to call a locksmith." "Luckily, I had a spare key with me." "Unfortunately, the locksmith took too long to arrive."

Explanation of Used to PronunciationIn English, used to can be pronounced differently depending on the context and meaning. Here’s how it changes in each of the examples.

• When used to indicates a past habit or repeated action, it is pronounced /ˈjuːst tə/.
• When used to indicates the process of adapting or getting accustomed, it is also pronounced /ˈjuːst tə/.
• When used is part of the passive voice, showing purpose or function, it’s pronounced with a strong "d" sound at the end:

In this lesson we are going to:

• Listen to three people who all have some kind of sleep problem.
• Revise the use of used to to talk about repeated past actions, and be used to and get used to (doing something) to talk about actions or activities which have become, or are becoming, familiar.
• The pronunciation focus is on the sounds /s/ and /z/ in used to.
• Focus on words and phrases related to sleep (e.g. yawn, be a light sleeper).

• Learn or revise the second and third conditionals.
• Write a blog post.

• In The Interview, the person interviewed is Candida Brady, a British journalist and film-maker.

• In The Conversation, you are going to watch three people discussing whether they think we will ever be plastic free.

• Then we are gping to discuss this question as well as a couple of other questions related to the topic.
• We are going to focus on different ways that people respond to what another person has said.

Mixed third/second conditional We use this combination to talk about a hypothetical condition happening in the past (third conditional) with a present result (second conditional). We use past perfect in the if clause and would/could/might + infinitive in the main clause. If I had been elected, I would be the president now. Mixed second/third conditional We use this combination to talk about a hypothetical condition happening in the present (second conditional) with a past result (third conditional). We use past in the if clause and would/could/might + have + past participle in the main clause. If I were a man, they would have given me the job.

• It’s important to be sure whether the word you are using is an adjective or a noun. Compare It’s windy (adj) with There’s a strong wind (n).
• The difference between chilly and cool is a question of how pleasant / unpleasant it is; 12°C may be cool for one person and chilly for another.
• Despite having similar meanings, certain adjectives are only used with certain nouns, e.g. you can say strong winds, but not strong rain (you have to say heavy rain), and we say bright sunshine (not strong sunshine).
• Settled is the opposite of changeable.

• In The Interview, the person interviewed is Candida Brady, a British journalist and film-maker.

• The pronunciation focus is on the sounds /s/ and /z/ in used to.
• Focus on words and phrases related to sleep (e.g. yawn, be a light sleeper).

Word stress

• There are not many clear rules regarding the pronunciation of three- and four-syllable adjectives, and the stress may fall on the first, second, or third syllable.
• However, prefixes and suffixes are not stressed, e.g. dishonest, ungrateful, etc.
• The unstressed /ə/ sound often occurs after or before the stressed syllable in multi-syllabic words, and may even occur twice, e.g. desperate /ˈdespərət/.

Second or third conditional?

• The second conditional refers to a hypothetical situation in the present or future, which can sometimes be changed and sometimes not, e.g. If she were taller, she could get a job as a model (situation can’t be changed). If you studied more, you would pass the exam (situation could be changed).
• The third conditional refers to hypothetical situations in the past which didn’t happen, e.g. If we had known you were in hospital, we would have visited you (we didn’t know, so we didn’t visit you).

Mixed conditionalsSometimes the second and third conditionals are mixed.

A zero conditional is used to generalize or give facts, e.g. If you heat water, it boils. Although zero conditionals are usually based on present tenses, they can also be used in the past, e.g. If people didn’t have money, they didn’t eat.

• Grammar notes
• wish + past simple

This structure is often used with I or we for things you would like to be different for you, e.g. I wish I / we could / had / was…, etc. The use of the past simple with a future meaning is the same as in second conditionals, e.g. I wish I had more money. If I had more money, I’d buy a new phone.

• wish + would / wouldn’t

The contracted form of would (’d) is often used after wish. We only use this structure to talk about things we would like other people (or things) to do or not to do. We don’t use this structure with I or we, e.g. NOT I wish I would have more money

• Choose one prompt and share your experience related to that prompt. As you share, make sure to use adjectives that describe how you felt in the situation.
• After each of you shares your experience, the rest of the group can ask questions or share their own similar experiences.

• They help convey opinions, attitudes, or judgments in conversation. Some examples include: unfortunately, obviously, clearly, surprisingly, and luckily.
• These adverbs modify the entire sentence, helping express the speaker's viewpoint or emphasis. Example:

a.In teams, the first student says an "I wish" regret sentence for one category (e.g., "I wish I had spent more time with my family."). b. The next student in the group must create an "I wish" sentence for the next category (e.g., health), but the catch is, you can’t repeat any words or ideas from previous team members. c. This continues until all four categories are covered.

As happens with conditional sentences, we use a comma when we begin the sentence with a time clause. But we don’t use a comma if we put the time clause at the end of the sentence. When I am 65, I will retire. I will retire when I am 65. With present perfect We can often use the present perfect after the time word. The meaning is similar to using the present simple, but with the present perfect we emphasise that the action will be completed. I’ll go to bed as soon as I have finished my homework. I won’t leave until you have arrived.

In pairs or small groups, you'll be given real-life scenarios (e.g., "You lost your keys," "You got a promotion at work"). You'll have to describe the situation using at least three comment adverbs to show different emotions about the same event. Example scenario: Situation: You lost your keys. "Obviously, I had to call a locksmith." "Luckily, I had a spare key with me." "Unfortunately, the locksmith took too long to arrive."
