- 1 English-speaking world
- 2 album, not film

- American English: “Zap Mama has had several hits.” - It’s a singular name for one group, so we use singular verbs.

- Grammar: present perfect
- - Why are the sentences in part 5 present perfect?
- The verbs started in the past and are still true or could happen again or change in the future.

- Form = have/has + past participle

- - I haven’t studied Chinese. / She hasn’t called yet.
- ? (y/n) Have you studied English? / Has she finished?

- Grammar: infinitives and gerunds
- infinitive = to + base form
- purpose: People dance (in order) to have fun. I’m learning English to study in another country.
- after adjectives and adverbs: It’s important to study. I’m happy to meet you. It’s too cold to swim.
- gerund = verb+ing form (used like a noun)
- subject: Teaching is fun. Dancing is relaxing. Studying helps me learn and makes me sleepy.
- after prepositions: Thanks for helping. I’m worried about failing. Fix it by adding ‘s’.
- Both gerunds and infinitives can go after verbs.
- - Some verbs always take the infinitive: want to do, expect to go, hope to see
- - Some verbs always take the gerund: enjoy doing, avoid going, finish cleaning
- - Some verbs can take both.
- - Sometimes this doesn’t change the meaning: like to do = like doing, start reading = start to read
- - Sometimes it does change meaning: stop to do / stop doing, remember to do / remember doing
- ---
- I stopped to eat fast food. = I stopped something else for the purpose of eating some fast food.
- (First I stopped, then I ate.)
- I stopped eating fast food. = I used to eat fast food and now I don’t any more.
- (First I ate, then I stopped.)
- Generally, the gerund means a real action that already happened or definitely will, and the infinitive means a potential action that happens later or might not happen.
- ---
- p. 25 part 8 - Complete the sentences with the correct verb forms, then tell your partner which ones you agree with.
- 1 doing (enjoy + gerund)
- 2 Painting (subject)
- 3 to be (adjective)
- 4 changing (imagine + changing)
- 5 to learn (adjective)
- 6 to play (learn + infinitive)
- 7 trying (preposition)
- 8 to find (seem + infinitive)
- ---
- I feel as though I never find time to meet people.
- It looks as though it’s raining.
- It seems as though you’re unhappy.
- I never seem to find the time to meet people.
- It seems to be raining.
- You seem to be unhappy.
- ---
- If possible, we generally avoid using two -ing verbs next to each other.
- “It started to rain” and “It started raining” are both equally correct.
- “It’s starting to rain” sounds much better than “It’s starting raining”.
