Step 2  Enjoy part 2 (about the friendship between Marlin and Dory)

   Since Nemo was the only child left to him, he was the apple of Marlin’s eye. Marlin takes good care of him for fear that something bad happened to him. However, on the first day of school, Nemo was taken away by a big boat and got lost. There is no doubt that he was very worried. He was on the way to find Nemo when he met another fish, Dory. Let’s see.

Fill in blanks of the main idea of this part.

Then suddenly, he was knocked over by a fish, Dory. Dory said she saw a boat at first and asked Marlin to follow him. But in a few seconds, Dory forgot ______3______ (say) that she had saw a boat.

Q2: What’s the function of blank 1 “letting”? What’s the part of speech of it?

It functions as the object of the verb, so it is used like a noun..

Q3: Can you think of any other words or phrases that have the same character?

stop

Conclusion of part 2: some words such as forget, regret, remember, mean, try, go on can be followed by a to-infinitives or a verb-ing form，but with some differences in meaning or usage. We need to make sure we use the correct form.

e.g.   Lily forgot _________ (lock) the door. Then he returned, only to find that it was already locked and in fact she forgot ____________ (take) the key with her.

Step 3 Enjoy part 3 (about the love between Marlin and Nemo)

Marlin, together with forgetful Dory, continued to look for/looking for Nemo. After too much effort and adventure, Marlin finally met Dory. You can imagine how excited they were when they reunite. So do you want to know what happened after they met each other? Let’s go on to enjoy the movie.

Nemo preferred _____2______ (save) her. He called on all the fish to swim down. This time Marlin supported him. Nemo was very happy. He said that he didn’t hate _____3______(follow) his father’s advice any more.

1. to swim/swimming   2. to save/saving         3. following/ to follow

In these three blanks, we can choose both the to-infinitives and verb-ing forms. They have almost the same meaning.

Q1: Can you come up with any other words that has the same feature?

       continue  begin  like  love

Q2: What’s the function of “swimming” in “started swimming”? And what’s the part of speech of it ?

  The word “swimming” functions as an object, so the part of speech is a noun.

Conclusion: such words as continue, prefer, begin, hate, like, start, love can be followed by a verb-ing form or a to-infinitive. And the meanings are almost the same.

Step 4 Practice

   So we can see, the film “Finding Nemo” is an excellent film, presenting love and friendship. It was a hit when it was newly made. One of the fans has written a movie review of it. Some of the words are missing. Try filling it.
