Expressing contents in a teaching unit
 
Hi,
could you tell me which is the right way to express the contents in a teaching unit, to-infinitive or -ing form? I would use the ing form because contents are usually expressed as nouns (advice, complaints, ...) but I �m not sure ("finding information about the weather in London"???).
Thanks
Have a nice Sunday.

Hi Isabel!

I was taught the following way:

At the end of the lesson / unit students should be able to understand....; to express likes/dislikes, to tell the time and so on.....

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your answer, but these are the aims of the lesson and I was asking about the way to express the contents.

I �d  use �ing � for functions. Example: �Giving advice �

If you �re listing content, then I �d go with -ING gerounds, and any other nouns you want to include

Good luck!
