A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and retain the page 2 key for checking. The personal responses are examples, not answers learners must copy.
- Compare remembering to send the form with remembering sending it in the example.
- Complete A's memory, travel duty, ended habit and experimental-method questions using the supplied meaning cues.
- Reorder B's stopping to buy, trying to learn and remembered first meeting questions; ask a partner to explain the meaning of the verb pattern.
Support and extension
Use remember doing for a remembered event and remember to do for a duty. Contrast ending an activity with interrupting it for a purpose; try doing highlights a method, while try to do highlights an attempt.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
