							| 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 � |  19 May 2013

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