ASSIGNMENT+7

Brittani Bulloch

For assignment seven, I analyzed a 1000 word text. In this particular article, titled "Living the Abundant Life," I found countless infinitive verbs. Gerunds, however, were far less prevalent. I would say infinitives made up about seventy percent of the verbs, while gerunds had only thirty percent or less. This tells me infinitives are more prominent in writing generally speaking. Therefore, it's important to teach ELLs the difference and how to use them in their writing. = = = = = =
