Complete the following extract from a student's essay on 'My new teacher'. Underline the correct verbals in brackets.

     
    Secondly, the atmosphere of the class is now different. My old teacher allowed us ( 1. talking / to talk / talk ) if we had finished our work. The new teacher does not allow ( 2. talking / to talk / talk ) at all. Our old teacher let us ( 3. eating / eat / to eat ) our snacks in the classroom during break time but now our new teacher has forbidden ( 4. eating / to eat / eat ) in the classroom.

However, because he is so much stricter than our old teacher, I think our new teacher requires us ( 5. working / to work / work ) much harder and makes us ( 6. preparing / to prepare / prepare ) our assignments more thoroughly. He often gets us ( 7. telling / tell / to tell ) the whole class how we prepared the work and he also has us ( 8. discussing / to discuss / discuss ) problems in small groups.

I think as we get used to him we will really appreciate his strict approach to studies. The new atmosphere he has created will permit us ( 9. develop / to develop / developing ) more fully as students and help us ( 10. do / to do / doing ) well in the coming examinations.
