What makes you feel good?


Source: English Speaking Club (Facebook page)

Last class we reviewed the to-infinitive rules. (Unit 5A). After that we started to work with Unit 5B in the Student´s book (p. 54-55) The unit focuses on the -ing form (also called gerund). Then we read the verb list on page 154 (-ing verbs)
At the end of the class we checked the telephone exercises in the Skills (pgs. 32-34)

Use the -ing form:

1-When we use a verb as a noun (for example, as the subject of a sentence)
Smoking is bad for your health.

2-After some verbs (love, enjoy, like, mind, etc.)
I enjoy dancing salsa.

3-When we use a verb after a preposition.
I´m interested in buying a car.
