For this session I prepared to go over
the difference between gerunds and infinitives. I began by asking Hamed if he
could give me the definition or an example of a gerund. He gave me the word “walking”
as an example and gave me a few examples of when it would be used. Then I asked
him to give me an example of an infinitive. He told me that an infinitive was a
verb in its normal form. With this I asked him to give me an example and to
identify what each had in common so that he could recognize the pattern all
infinitives have. We went over a few example sentences in a cloze exercise
together and then I let him complete the rest. I made sure to emphasize how only
gerunds can follow prepositions but both gerunds and infinitives can follow a
verb.
