教学过程
Good morning, class!
Today, we are going to explore an important grammar topic in Unit 2 of our textbook, which is about Morals and Virtues. The topic for this class is "Discovering Useful Structures", specifically focusing on the usage of the -ing form as the objective complement and the adverbial.
First, let's start with a little review. You all know that verbs can have different forms, right? We have the base form, the past form, and also the -ing form. Now, who can tell me where we usually see the -ing form being used? [Pause for students to answer]
Yes, very good. We see it in the present continuous tense, like "I am reading a book." Here, "reading" shows an action that is happening at the moment. But today, we are going to look at some other very important functions of the -ing form.
Let's take a look at some sentences from our previous readings in this unit. [Write the following sentences on the board or show them on the screen]
Thinking of all the people still in need of help, Dr Lin opened a private clinic.
The new People's Republic of China saw Dr Lin Qiaozhi playing a key role.
Despite the difficult situation, Dr Bethune did whatever he could to assist the Chinese people, working day and night.
Now, I want you to work in pairs and discuss the function of the italicized -ing forms in these sentences. What are they doing in the sentences? Are they part of the main verb, or are they doing something else? [Give students a few minutes to discuss]
Okay, let's share our thoughts. Which pair would like to start? [Call on a pair of students]
Student A: In the first sentence, "Thinking of all the people still in need of help", we think it's like giving a reason for why Dr Lin opened the private clinic.
Teacher: Excellent observation! You are absolutely right. Here, the -ing form "Thinking" is acting as an adverbial of reason. It tells us the reason behind Dr Lin's action of opening the clinic. Just like we could say "Because she thought of all the people still in need of help, Dr Lin opened a private clinic." So, when the -ing form is used like this, it gives us more information about the main action in the sentence, in this case, the action of opening the clinic.
Now, what about the second sentence? [Call on another pair]
Student B: In the sentence "The new People's Republic of China saw Dr Lin Qiaozhi playing a key role", we think "playing" is like describing what Dr Lin Qiaozhi was doing. It's like adding more details about Dr Lin Qiaozhi.
Teacher: Great job! You've got it. Here, "playing a key role" is an objective complement. It follows the verb "saw" and the object "Dr Lin Qiaozhi", and it gives more information about the object, telling us what Dr Lin Qiaozhi was doing. The verb "saw" here is a kind of sensory verb. We often use the -ing form as an objective complement after sensory verbs like see, watch, hear, feel, etc. For example, "I saw a bird flying in the sky." The -ing form "flying" tells us what the bird (the object) was doing.
And for the third sentence? [Call on another pair]
Student C: In "Despite the difficult situation, Dr Bethune did whatever he could to assist the Chinese people, working day and night", we think "working day and night" is like showing what Dr Bethune was doing while he was helping the Chinese people.
Teacher: Exactly! Here, "working day and night" is an adverbial of accompaniment. It shows an action that is happening at the same time as the main action. Dr Bethune was assisting the Chinese people, and at the same time, he was working day and night. It gives us a more vivid picture of Dr Bethune's actions.
Now, let's summarize what we've learned so far. When the -ing form is used as an adverbial, it can show different things like time, reason, condition, result, concession, and accompaniment. For example, "Walking in the park, I saw a beautiful flower." Here, "Walking in the park" is an adverbial of time, showing when I saw the flower. It's like saying "When I was walking in the park, I saw a beautiful flower."
When the -ing form is used as an objective complement, it usually follows certain verbs, especially sensory verbs and some causative verbs. It gives more information about the object, like what the object is doing or what state it is in.
Let's do some more exercises to make sure we really understand these usages. [Show the following sentences on the board or screen]
I heard someone ______ (sing) in the next room.
______ (not know) what to do, he turned to his teacher for help.
The teacher caught the student ______ (cheat) in the exam.
______ (work) hard, you will succeed.
She sat there, ______ (read) a book.
I want you to fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb in brackets. Think about whether it should be in the -ing form and what function it will have in the sentence. [Give students a few minutes to do the exercises]
Okay, let's check the answers. For the first sentence, who can tell me what to fill in? [Call on a student]
Student D: I heard someone singing in the next room.
Teacher: Correct! Here, "singing" is an objective complement after the sensory verb "heard". It tells us what the person (the object) was doing.
For the second sentence? [Call on another student]
Student E: Not knowing what to do, he turned to his teacher for help.
Teacher: Perfect! "Not knowing" is an adverbial of reason. It explains why he turned to his teacher for help. Notice that when we want to make the -ing form negative, we just put "not" in front of it.
For the third sentence? [Call on another student]
Student F: The teacher caught the student cheating in the exam.
Teacher: Right! "Cheating" is an objective complement after the verb "caught", which is a kind of sensory verb in this context. It shows what the student (the object) was doing.
For the fourth sentence? [Call on another student]
Student G: Working hard, you will succeed.
Teacher: Great! "Working hard" is an adverbial of condition. It's like saying "If you work hard, you will succeed."
And for the fifth sentence? [Call on another student]
Student H: She sat there, reading a book.
Teacher: Absolutely! "Reading a book" is an adverbial of accompaniment. It shows what she was doing while she was sitting there.
Now, let's move on to a more challenging task. I'm going to give you a short passage, and I want you to find all the -ing forms in it and analyze their functions. [Distribute the passage or show it on the screen]
Passage: "Seeing the old man struggling to cross the street, Tom quickly ran over to help him. Helping the old man, Tom felt a sense of satisfaction. The old man, smiling gratefully, thanked Tom. Tom, walking away, was happy that he had done a good deed."
Work in your groups to find and analyze the -ing forms. [Give students a few minutes to work in groups]
Okay, let's have each group share their findings. Which group would like to start? [Call on a group]
Group 1: In "Seeing the old man struggling to cross the street", "Seeing" is an adverbial of time, and "struggling" is an objective complement after "seeing". In "Helping the old man, Tom felt a sense of satisfaction", "Helping" is an adverbial of time. In "The old man, smiling gratefully, thanked Tom", "smiling" is an adverbial of accompaniment. In "Tom, walking away, was happy that he had done a good deed", "walking" is an adverbial of accompaniment.
Teacher: Wonderful job, Group 1! You've analyzed it very accurately. The -ing forms in this passage are used in different ways to make the description more vivid and to show the relationships between different actions.
Now, I want you to create your own sentences using the -ing form as an adverbial or an objective complement. You can choose a topic related to morals and virtues, like helping others, being honest, etc. Then, share your sentences with the class. [Give students a few minutes to write their sentences]
Let's start sharing. Who would like to read out their sentence first? [Call on students to share their sentences]
Student I: Helping the poor people in the community, I realized the importance of kindness.
Teacher: Great sentence! Here, "Helping the poor people in the community" is an adverbial of time or reason. It shows when you realized the importance of kindness or why you realized it.
Student J: I saw my friend returning the wallet he found to the owner.
Teacher: Excellent! "Returning the wallet he found to the owner" is an objective complement after the sensory verb "saw". It tells us what your friend (the object) was doing.
Student K: Being honest all the time, she won the respect of everyone around her.
Teacher: Very good! "Being honest all the time" is an adverbial of reason. It explains why she won the respect of others.
Today, we've learned a lot about the usage of the -ing form as an objective complement and an adverbial. Remember, practice makes perfect. Keep using these structures in your speaking and writing to become more familiar and comfortable with them.
For homework, I want you to write a short paragraph about a person you admire who has shown great moral or virtuous behavior. Use at least three -ing forms in your paragraph, either as objective complements or adverbials. Then, bring it to class tomorrow and we will share and discuss them.
That's all for today's class. Thank you, everyone! Have a great day!
