BSED- ENGLISH
A Semi- Detailed Lesson Plan
In English (Grade 8)
I. Objectives
At the end of the 45 minute discussion, 75 % of the students should be able to:
Topic: Infinitives
III. Procedure
a. Review
Before we go to our new lesson, let us first have a short review about our last topic which is all about verbals. So
who could define verbals?
That’s right! Now, what are the three types of verbals?
Okay! And we are already through with gerunds, and gerunds are?
Correct! Gerunds function as a noun and its structure is base form of the verb + –ing.
Could you give an example of a gerund and use it in a sentence?
Very good, class. It seems that you really understood our last topic so we can now go to our next lesson.
b. Motivation
GAME: “I’m sure with my Lyrics”
MECHANICS: The class will be divided into two groups. The teacher will play songs and students should listen
closely. Incomplete lyrics will be projected afterwards. Each group member must supply the missing words to
make the lyrics complete. Each group member should say the phrase “I’m sure” so they will have the chance to
answer first. If they miss, the opposing team may steal. The team who scores more after 8 sets will be the
winner.
c. Lesson Proper
The reason why we had a game awhile back is because it has something to do with our next lesson which is
another type of verbals and it is called infinitives. Let me use some of the lyrics that we had earlier as
examples.
These underlined words are called infinitives, so based on these, what do you think is the structure of
infinitives?
That’s right! Infinitives consist of the word to plus the base form of the verb.
Infinitives may be used as a noun, an adjective or an adverb. Let us first go with nouns. Study the given
examples.
To see is to believe. - SUBJECT
The team wants to win. - DIRECT OBJECT
Her dream is to fly. – PREDICATE NOMINATIVE/ SUBJECT COMPLEMENT
The teacher will further discuss infinitives as nouns and give more examples if necessary. After every
example, the teacher will ask the students to give their own examples.
Now, let’s go to infinitives as adjectives. Infinitives may also be used as modifiers for noun. Study the given
examples.
Those are the foods to eat. - modifies foods
They are the team to beat. – modifies team
The teacher will further discuss infinitives as adjectives and give more examples if necessary. After
every example, the teacher will ask the students to give their own examples.
Now, let’s go to the last function of infinitives which is being as adverbs. Infinitives may actually be used
as modifiers for verbs, adjectives and adverbs.
DirectionS: Underline the infinitive in each sentence according to its function. If the infinitive is a noun, identify its
function: subject, direct object, subject complement. If the infinitive is an adjective, identify the noun it modifies. If
the infinitive is an adverb, identify the word it modifies.
Ex.
______5. They are the most important people to invite to the party.
______6. The best way to improve your performance is no secret.
VII. Assignment
Listen to any type of news. List down some infinitives you’ve heard and follow the same direction in the
previous seatwork.
