Do you insist on + verb + ing

Do you insist on + verb + ing

Step 1: Explanation (Basic Understanding)
  • Explain that "insist on" means to strongly demand or persist in doing something.
  • Show the structure:
  • Do you insist on + verb + ing? (Asking about someone's strong preference or demand.)
  • Example:
  • Do you insist on eating healthy food every day? (Do you strongly prefer it?)
  • Do you insist on finishing your homework before playing?

Step 2: Guided Practice (Fill in the Blanks)
  • Give students incomplete sentences and let them complete them:
  • Example:
  1. Do you insist on ______ (wake) up early every morning?
  1. Do you insist on ______ (help) your friends with their homework?
  1. Do you insist on ______ (watch) movies in English?
(Answers: waking, helping, watching)
Step 3: Pair Work (Question & Answer)
  1. Student A asks: Do you insist on waking up early?
  1. Student B answers: Yes, I insist on waking up early because I like to exercise.
(Encourage students to ask and answer using "Yes, I insist on..." or "No, I don’t insist on...")
Step 4: Role Play (Real-Life Situations)
  • Create small dialogues where students insist on something in a real-life scenario.
  • Example:
  • Situation: At a Restaurant
  • Customer: I insist on getting a fresh salad. Please change this one.
  • Waiter: Sure, sir. We will bring a fresh one right away.

Step 5: Fun Game (Find Someone Who...)
  • Create a worksheet with sentences like:
  • Find someone who insists on...
  • Drinking tea every morning.
  • Watching English movies.
  • Exercising daily.
  • Eating homemade food.

Students walk around and ask their classmates, filling in the names.
