    9

    I. Objectives
    At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
    a. define gerund and determine its varied functions;
    b. share their thoughts by giving some examples;
    c. construct sentences with gerund considering its various functions.

    II. Subject Matter

    Topic: Gerund, Its Definition and Its Uses


    Reference: Journey Through Anglo-American Literature Learner’s Guide, Department of Education,
    Republic of the Philippines, First Edition, 2014, p. 255-257
    Materials: Laptop, PowerPoint Presentation

    III. Teaching Procedure

    Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity


    A. Routinary Activities
    * Greetings
    - Good morning/afternoon, everyone! - Good morning/afternoon, Ma’am!

    * Prayer
    - Let us pray first before we start our class for (A student leads a prayer and the whole class
    today. Who wants to lead a prayer? prays.)

    * Checking of Attendance
    - Are there any absentees today? - No one is absent today, Ma’am.
    - I am glad to hear that.

    * Reminding the learners of the Safety Protocols


    (The teacher reminds the students of the Classroom
    safety protocols)
    - Wear a mask covering your mouth and nose
    during class
    - Use hand sanitizer or wipes when entering and
    leaving class.
    - Sanitize markers and other shared tools when
    you’re done using them
    - Enter the room only when prompted by your
    instructor
    - Maintain social distance when entering
    and exiting class.

    B. Review
    - Before we jump to our new lesson, let us
    have a short recap of the previous one. I
    have here sentences and you are going to
    choose the appropriate progressive tense in
    the parentheses to complete them.
    (Some students volunteer and answer.)

    1. The children (is playing, are playing) at the - The answer is “are playing.”
    backyard.
    2. She (will be taking, was taking) her exams - The answer is “will be taking.”
    tomorrow.
    3. I (was sleeping, am sleeping) when you came - The answer is “was sleeping.”
    home last night.
    4. He (is playing, am playing) with his dog. - The answer is “is playing.”
    5. They (will be leaving, were leaving) next month. - The answer is “will be leaving.”
    - That is good! I am really happy to know
    that you understand well our previous
    lesson which is about the Progressive
    Tense. Can anyone define what Progressive (A student raises his/her hand and answer.)
    Tense is? - It is used to describe an ongoing action.

    Very good!
    C. Motivation
    - Now, I want you to group yourselves into
    four groups. You are going to have an
    activity about our new lesson.
    - Each group will be given 5 words that
    show action and will construct sentences
    using the verb as the subject. Before you
    begin with your sentence, I have here some
    examples.

    1. Acting is Kathryn’s profession.


    2. Singing is one of Daniel’s talents.
    (A representative from each group presents the
    sentence in the class.)
    - Very good! Each group has done a great
    job.
    - If you notice, the previous lesson and the
    new one have a similarity. They are both
    about using verbs ending in –ing; however,
    there are differences when it comes to how
    we use them in sentences.

    D. Presentation of the Lesson


    - Do you have any idea what is our lesson all (Some say “Yes.”)
    about? Today, we are going to talk about
    Gerund, its definition and uses. It is one of
    the verbals, and the others are the infinitive
    and the participle. Are you familiar with
    Gerund?

    E. Lesson Proper
    (After revealing the lesson, the teacher presents the
    definition of Gerund.)
    - Everyone, please read the definition of
    Gerund.
    Gerund - is defined as a word ending in –ing that (The students read the definition of Gerund.)
    is formed from a verb and that functions as a noun,
    specifically used as a subject, a subjective
    complement, an object of the preposition, a
    direct object and an appositive.

    (The students have an activity called “One Pic.,


    One Verb.)
    - I have here some pictures that show
    actions. Can anyone tell what action is
    being shown in each picture and convert
    them into a Gerund? (Some students volunteer and answer…)
    1. - The action in the picture is “run.” The
    Gerund of “run” is “running.”

    2. - The action in the picture is “teach.” The


    Gerund of “teach” is “teaching.”
    3. - The action in the picture is “jump.” The
    Gerund of “jump” is “jumping.”

    (After the activity, the teacher discusses the


    different functions of Gerund in sentences, shows
    some examples and asks some questions during the
    discussion.)

    - As said in the definition, Gerund can be (The students listen carefully and answer or share
    used in a sentence as a subject, a their thoughts whenever the teacher asks
    subjective complement, an object of the questions.)
    preposition, a direct object and an
    appositive. Let us talk about them one by
    one.

    As a Subject:
    When the gerund is performing the action in the
    sentence, it’s functioning as a subject.
    - Exercising is good for our health.
    - Eating healthy food makes your life longer.
    (The teacher explains that the “healthy food” in the
    second sentence is a gerundial phrase as it modifies
    the subject “Eating.”)

    As a Predicate Noun:
    When the gerund follows a form of the verb “to be”
    and rename or explain the subject of the sentence,
    it is working as a predicate noun or predicate
    nominatives.
    Lyka’s favorite exercise is jogging.
    His passion was biking.

    As an Object of a Preposition:
    When a gerund follows a preposition, it’s
    functioning as an object of preposition.
    (The teacher asks the students about their ideas and
    shows a list of preposition.)
    - Mary keeps herself in good shape by
    dancing.
    - She is undeniably good at painting.

    As a Direct Object:
    When the gerund is receiving the action in the
    sentence, it is working as the direct object.
    - Lester does boxing in the gym twice a
    week.
    - Romeo likes watching horror movies.

    As an Appositive:
    When the gerund renames or gives more
    information about the noun, it is working as an
    appositive.
    - My only exercise, walking, is not actually
    exhausting.
    - His work, driving, is really tiring.

    F. Application
    The students have an activity and are asked to get a paper and a pen. The teacher shows sentences
    and asks the students to identify and write the gerund and its use or function (as a subject, a subjective
    complement, an object of the preposition, a direct object and an appositive) in each sentence. The teacher
    counts from one to five before they show their answers.

    1. They like roaming around the city at night.


    2. Writing makes my life meaningful.
    3. Her passion is dancing.
    4. His love for singing makes him popular.
    5. My talent, drawing, has been developed as years pass by.

    G. Generalization
    1. What is gerund?
    2. What are the uses of Gerund?

    IV. Evaluation
    In the same groupings, each group is given a word which is a verb. Then, they convert the verb
    into gerund and use it in sentences. The gerund should be used in five ways, as a subject, a subjective
    complement, an object of the preposition, a direct object and an appositive. The leaders from the groups
    assign to each member the way on how he or she uses it in a sentence. Afterwards, they will choose one
    representative from each group and presents their work in the class.

    1. Play 3. Run
    2. Pray 4. Text

    Criteria:
    Content - 50
    Grammar - 30
    Cooperation - 20
    100

    V. Assignment
    The students construct a paragraph with the topic of their choice, wherein they use Gerunds as
    many as they can and underline each. Also, they are to label each gerund if it is used as a subject, a
    subjective complement, an object of the preposition, a direct object and an appositive in each sentence.
    The student who has the most number of gerunds in the paragraph gets an additional score.
