Step1 Presentation

Translation

Use these sentences to give the students some examples about to-infinitives for purpose.

Step 2 Introduce the uses of to-infinitives for purpose

We can use to-infinitives to express purpose.

e.g. I often go to the market to watch birds.

 Now the Chinese government has made laws to prevent all these things.

Work in group

We can also use in order to to express purposes. This is more formal than to-infinitives.

    Take a notebook with you in order to write down what you see.

Step 3 Exercises

1.Match the first parts of the sentences on the left with the second parts on the right.

Write the correct letters in the blanks.(Page 73)

Step 4 Using verbs + objects + to-infinitives

1 We can use some verbs with objects and to-infinitives.

e.g. We are now inviting them to help us.

We need more people to count and describe the birds.

2 We add not before to-infinitives to express a negative meaning.

e.g. We ask people not to catch birds for any reason.

3 Pay attention to these words:

We often use these verbs in this structure.

advise  ask  cause  encourage  get  help  invite  order   teach     tell

4 Special words

We can use some verbs in this structure with infinitives without to.

make or  let + object + infinitive without to

   Max tells funny jokes and often makes me laugh.

   Mr Wu agreed to let me join their school trip.

see or hear + object + infinitive without to

   She saw a baby panda drink her mother's milk.

   Millie and Amy heard someone sing in the park.

help + object + infinitive without to

   This will help people (to) understand the importance of the wetlands.
