Step Ⅳ. Language Study

T:Now,please look at the two sentences on the Bb:(Write the following sentences on the Bb.)

He was a brave man.

He decided to return to France.

How can we join these two sentences into one?

Who can do it?

S:It can be joined like this:

He was a brave man so/and he decided to return to France.

(Teacher writes it on Bb.)

T:That's right.Please sit down.We can also say:

Being a brave man,he decided to return to France.(1)

(Write the sentence on Bb and mark it with (1).)

Now,look at another group of sentences:

(Write the following on Bb.)

First he returned to France.

Then he was put in prison.

Who can join them into one sentence?Li Li,you try,please.

S:After returning to France,he was put in prison.

(Teacher writes the sentence on Bb.)

T:Right,we can also say:

Having returned to France,he was put in prison.(2)

(Write the sentence on Bb and mark it with (2).)Now,pay attention to these two sentences.

In sentence (2),there are two actions.One is “returned to France”,and the other is “was put in prison”.Which happened first?

Ss:The action “returned to France”happened first.

T:That's right.Now,let's look at sentence (1).In this sentence,two things happened or were true at the same time.While in the second sentence one thing happened first and then another thing happened.When two things happen at the same time,or almost at the same time in one sentence,we often use the following structures:

v.-ing(phrase),main clause

or:main clause,v.-ing (phrase)

(Write the above on Bb.)

While one thing happens first,the other happens later,we usually use the following structures:

having done,main clause

or:main clause,having done

Are you clear?

Ss:Yes.

T:Now,look at the other three sentences in Part 2 Language Study.Can you say something about the actions in them?

S:In the first sentence,two things happened at the same time.

S:In the third and fourth sentences,two things happened at different times.
