GRAMMAR: Gerunds vs Infinitives
Teach or revise gerunds and infinitives with these video quizzes at A2, B1 and B2 level. Every video quiz contains questions that are suitable for a conversation lesson: student can answer/discuss them in pairs or small groups after completing the video tasks (for example, on their smart phones).
The first three video quizzes were inspired by the International Women’s Day: all questions listed in them relate to women (and men). The B2-level videos are general questions about one’s habits, memories, personality, etc.
LEVEL A2:
Revise verbs with infinitive vs gerund forms at pre-intermediate (A2) level: Students need to complete questions while listening to a Shania Twain song with the missing verb forms. Excellent lead-in to a conversation lesson about women and men.
