Motivation
Before we start our new lesson, let us
play a game the name of the game is
Verb Pantomime Relay.
Ill divide the class into two groups and
to make it even, let us count 1 to 2.

The participial phrase in the sentence is

introduced to music early.

Introduced is an example of a past

participle.

None Sir.

Lets start from you Romulo.

Mechanics:
Each group will form a horizontal line.
The first member of the group will act
the verb written in the card then the
next member preceded the first member
will guess the verb and act it as well. All
the group members will follow the same
procedure until it reaches the last
member. The last member is the one
who will write the answer in the blanks.
Rules:
All of the group members except
the first one will turn around. They
are allowed to look only if its their
turn to guess. Tap the shoulder of
your group mates as a go signal.
Speaking while acting is illegal.

The first group to write the correct

answer will get the point.
Before starting a round, each
group will make a rotation.

(The purpose of this game is to review

the students about verb through
projecting actions. Through this, they will
be familiarize and able to distinguish
verb forms as a preparation for our
todays lesson infinitives.)
Lesson proper
Did you enjoy the game?
I enjoyed it too, now we can proceed to
our next lesson. Our lesson for today is
about infinitives.
Infinitive is a verb form that can be used
as a noun, an adjective or an adverb. It
consists of the word to plus the basic
form of the verb.
Because infinitive is not a verb, you
cannot add s, es, ed or ing.
Ill use the result of our game as an

Yes! We enjoyed the game sir.

example.
1.) To kiss our parents before we go to
school is a
Sign of respect.
2.) The place to drive is on the hi way.
3.) Jose Rizal inspires the young
generation to
write with passion.
4.) That water is too cold____.
5.) One of my dreams when I was a child
was to
fly.
In order for you to further understand
the infinitives. Ive made sentences
using the same infinitive to play to
emphasize the different usage of
infinitives.
( The teacher will discuss the sentences.)
I have another example here. Vonn,
please read the sentence and identify
the infinitives and its usage.

Lawsuits are useful to punish

corporations or to represent consumers.
To punish, as an adverb.

Yes! The infinitive is to punish and it was

as an adjective because it modifies the
adjective useful.
Another example. Jan, read the sentence
and identify the infinitives and its
function.
Correct! To jog is the infinitive and it
serve as a noun because it is the subject
of the sentence.
How about you Emman? Can you read
the sentence and identify the infinitives
and how it was used?
Very good Emman! The infinitive to stay
functions as an adjective modifying the
pronoun him.

To jog a mile every day is my goal.
