1. Do you find it funny to see someone sliding on a banana skin, bumping into someone else round a corner, or falling down a hole in the road?

6. Chaplin sits down at the table with his plate and drinking cup.  T:From these sentences what can you learn about the -ing form?

S:Let me try. From these sentences, we can learn that the -ing form can be used as the attribute, the predicative and the object complement. 

T:Good!Anything more?

S:When an -ing form word is used as the attribute, it is put before the noun, while when an -ing form phrase is used as the attribute, it is put after the noun. 

T:What a good observation! Another point for you to bear in mind is that when the -ing form is used as the attribute, it may tell the use of the noun or tell the action, character or quality of the noun, and the -ing form attribute can be replaced by an attributive clause. Now let's consolidate this point by doing Exercise 4 on page 20. 

T:Well, what does a sleeping boy mean?

S:A sleeping boy is a boy who is sleeping. 

T:What does a drinking cup mean?

S:A drinking cup is a cup used for drinking. 

T:It seems that you have master the usage of the -ing form as attribute. Now, do the same with your partners and finish the rest phrases. 

T:Now let's have a competition. Look at Exercise 3 on Page 21. I'd like you to do it in groups. 

T:This is a very interesting exercise, isn't it? Let's learn the usage of -ing form as the object complement. Can you tell the structure of -ing form as the object complement?

Ss:The structure is Subject+Predicate+Object+Object complement. 

T:Yes. The object complement is used to explain what object has done, or doing, or to do. Or we can think that the speaker wants to express his/her meaning more completely. Of course, in this unit we only study the -ing form as the object complement. To grasp it, do Exercise 2 on Page 21. T:OK, now let's check the answers for this Exercise. Who would like to say your answers out?
