Question words before to-infinitives

- Have Ss read the two examples in the Remember! box and pay attention to the bold words.

-Then tell them to read the information in the box.

- Check their understanding by asking some questions:

+ What are the question words we can use before to-infinitives?

+ What does this grammatical structure express?

+ What are the verbs we can use?

- Ask Ss to give some more examples. Comment on their examples.

- Students read the Remember! box carefully and listen to the teacher.

- Students make some sentences using the Question words before to-infinitives.

– We use a question word such as who, what, where, when, or how before a to-infinitive to express an indirect question about what we should do.

– We often use a verb such as ask, wonder, (not) decide, (not) tell, or (not) know before the question word + to-infinitive.

Example:

We don’t know what to do to help the community.

She asked how to get to the nearest shopping mall.

Phrasal verbs

- Write these sentences, which are taken from the dialogue in Getting Started, on the board:

I think we will get on with them.

That reminds me of the time our family moved to Viet Nam.

- Ask them about the meaning of each phrasal verb (they learnt the meaning of these verbs in the Getting Started lesson). Tell them that these are examples of phrasal verbs.

- Have Ss read the information in the grammar box. Ask them to call out any phrasal verbs they know and write them on the board. Have them explain the meaning of these verbs.

- Students read the examples carefully.

- Ss read the information in the grammar box. They call out any phrasal verbs they know.
