Short diagram story is about young brother’s homework..
Two persons are described young brother and elder sister.
Story
brother; This science homework is too difficult.
sister: That’ just the first question. You haven’t done anything else?
brother: No. I got bored.
sister; Well, I ‘ve finished doing my homework. I ‘ll take Charo for a walk..
brother: I want to go with you.
sister: No. you haven’t finished your homework,yet.
brother: But I need a break. So I can study better after a walk.
Sister: What do you mean? You have only just started your homework. It’s too early for a break.
Brother: Don’t worry. You can help me later.
Sister: Huh! No way. I’m out of here.
Diagram is over
Key Sentence is I ‘ve finished doing my homework.
The VERB ‘have finished’ has OBJECT ‘doing’ that’s gerund.
We don’t say that I finished to do my homework.
Practice
Such verbs as ‘finish’ are stop, quit, give up, enjoy, consider, image, mind
Just stop calling me, OK?
I enjoyed working with you guys..
I ‘m considering buying a new computer.
Can I stop tapping your pen?
Have you ever considered joing the drama group?
Would you mind explaining what’s going on here?.
Concerning these verbs, We have the idear in mind.
The idea is that.
These verbs have the object not to-infinitive but gerund.
That’s why these verbs require concreteness.
At first when we finish something, it is necessary to describe the concrete and real situation.
Such verbs as ‘finish’ are stop, quit, give up, enjoy, consider, image, mind
Each gerund recalls me to the concrete situation.
