Podcasts about Gerund

Lieve luisteraars, allereerst de beste wensen voor 2025! Want die hadden we jullie al podcastend nog niet kunnen doen toekomen. Het is onze eerste podcast van het nieuwe jaar. En dat heeft alles te maken met de prachtige gebeurtenis in Huize Van der Zandt. Want daar werd medio januari Felix geboren. Hieperdepiep Hoera! Maar we zijn er weer. En hoe! Meteen met een bomvolle show. Martijn is dolgelukkig na zijn terugkomdag bij de bikefitters van Mago, Herman blikt terug op zijn avonturen op de stranden tussen Scheveningen en Alkmaar (spoiler: honden, zeehonden, lekke band en geen eten) en Martijn heeft een paar ritjes met een Nederlandse fietscomputer gereden: The One, hij deelt zijn ervaringen. Maar we hebben meer! Zo is er een nieuwe rubriek, jaja. We bellen vanaf nu elke aflevering met een oud-prof en vragen aan hem/haar hoe hij/zij het fietsen is gaan beleven ná de actieve carrière. We trappen af met vriend-van-de-show Maarten Ducrot. Maar heeft hij nou een glaasje te veel op, of lijkt dat maar zo? Het Gouden Ventiel reiken we in het korte bestaan van deze prijs voor het eerst postuum uit aan niemand minder dan Let de Stigter. Zij overleed op 14 december 2024. En wij zijn haar zeer dankbaar voor het prachtige fietspad dat naar haar vernoemd is. Segmenten van de Show Martijn kiest voor de Hoge Duvel vanaf boswachterswoning. Een brede baan zuigend gravel op het o zo mooie Kroondomein. Herman selecteert een Amsterdams stukkie: De Stad Uit. Een naam van een segment dat ook zomaar een nummer van Acda & De Munnik had kunnen zijn. ShownotesPrachtige koffiebar / wielercafé in Moraira, Spanje. Gerund door Ingrid Kimber: 53.eleven. 100waard, een prachtig boek van Bram van der Wal en Ferry Verheij over fietsen in de Alblasserwaard en gemeente Vijfheerenland. Gravelen doe je op 29 maart bij de vrienden van Let's Gravel; er zijn nog kaarten! Ooit gaan we de Torino - Nice Rally op de gravelbike rijden. We gaan naar het Colnago Cycling Festival Giro NelloWil je meefietsen met de Giro Nello? De wielertocht waar het niet alleen om fietsen draait, maar vooral ook om La Dolce Vita. Een dag leven en fietsen als een Italiaan in Soest en omstreken. Een kaart kopen doe je met de volgende waardeboncode: bumper25. Anders lukt het afrekenen niet. Ciao!

I finally got around to cleaning out that garage. Let me tell you something, that is not a job I look forward to doing at all. I guess I'm more used to messing it up. Yeah I definitely can admit to doing that. You'll notice in all four cases, there's a there's a verb followed by TO followed by a gerund,  you know the ING.  But wait Michael, to should be followed by a base verb!  Yes, that's true, but there are cases where TO is followed by a GERUND and that's what we're going to look at today. Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/transcriptVisit my website: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/

Primeur! Mijn eerste podcast met drie gasten. En ook weer eens vrouwen, dat mag ook wel vaker toch? Een ontwerpbureau met een passie voor grafisch ontwerp. Dol op kleur, speelse vormen en creatieve illustraties. Gerund door drie vrouwen met een scherpe blik. Drie vriendinnen van de academie besluiten om samen een bedrijf te beginnen. Misschien niet de makkelijkste route, maar wel een succesvolle. Doordat ze elkaar goed kennen en aanvoelen weten ze een serieuze plek op de ontwerpmarkt te pakken. Waarom die naam Studio Mes? Waar halen ze hun inspiratie vandaan? En hoe blijf je na al die jaren nog fijne collega's en vriendinnen? Je hoort het in deze nieuwe aflevering.   SHOWNOTES Studio MES

She struggled with understanding how ‘swim' was a verb, but ‘swimming' could be a noun.

In deze podcast interview ik Janita Hurkmans, die samen met haar zus eigenaresse is van de eerste autogarage gerund door vrouwen. Toen ik er op bezoek ging om het interview voor mijn PhD te doen en deze podcast op te nemen, stopte ik een garage binnen die heel sfeervol is ingericht, een roze muur heeft, waar ik 'karma' als theesmaak kon uitkiezen en waar nagellak en andere leuke accessoires naast auto's werden verkocht. Ik waande me in een waar vrouwenparadijs en dat is precies wat de zussen willen neerzetten. Janita 'bij de meeste autogarages kom je in een witte steriele ruimte waar het lijkt alsof je geopereerd gaat worden'. Bij de dames gaat het 'eerst om de klik, en dan het blik'.

Welkom bij de podcast van de Deventer stadstroubadour! Mijn naam is Maarten en ik interview inwoners en maak songs van hun verhalen. Ik richt me vooral op minder bekende mensen die normaal niet in de schijnwerpers staan, maar wel een mooie bijdrage leveren aan de gemeenschap. Vandaag ben ik in gesprek met Victor Münster, kwartiermaker en bestuurslid van SuperLettele, een buurtsupermarkt die gerund wordt door veertig vrijwilligers. Toen de buurtsuper in de zomer van 2020 haar deuren dreigde te sluiten, maakte hij samen met een paar andere inwoners van Lettele een plan om de supermarkt open te kunnen houden. Niet alleen voor de levensmiddelen, maar juist ook voor alle andere functies van zo'n winkel in een klein dorp als Lettele. Naast 'gewone' boodschappen is er in deze zaak ruimte voor een goed gesprek, voor producten van de boer, cadeaus uit het dorp en nog meer...

Hoy veremos que, para empezar una frase con un verbo, podemos usar el infinitivo "to go, to play, to see" con el sentido de para hacer algo. To learn English, you need a teacher - para aprender inglés, necesitas un profesor. Sin embargo, cuando queremos usar un verbo como sustantivo al principio, siempre usamos el Gerundio. Being English in this country is easy - ser inglés en este país es fácil. El idiom de hoy es "burn the midnight oil" - desvelarte para trabajar en algo o estudiar. Espero que te guste!

De kracht van peer support, het vroegere lotgenotencontact. Hoe ongelooflijk fijn, helpend en belangrijk kan het zijn om in contact te zijn met mensen die hetzelfde lijden kennen, weten hoe het is om stigma in de psychiatrie te ervaren, te zien dat sommigen er doorheen zijn gekomen. De kracht van samen co-creëeren, samen brainstormen over alledaagse moeilijkheden als dagstructuur, betekenisgeving, eenzaamheid, werk, gezond leven etc.Enik Recovery College is een prachtig voorbeeld van een van de herstelacademie's die nu in ons land opkomen. Gerund dóór en vóór peers, geen behandelaar komt er aan te pas, psychiatrische labels worden losgelaten. De mens wordt gezien en vooral zélf verantwoordelijk gemaakt voor zijn herstel. "Herstel is een keuze", zeggen ze bij Enik. Over het inzetten van peersupport spreek ik met Martijn Kole en Liselotte. Martijn is een van de founders van Enik.

Liselotte is een deelnemer van Enik en vertelt mij over haar ervaring in het in contact komen en zijn met lotgenoten.

English Grammar A1 Level: Gerund is a verb that functions as a noun referring to an action, a process or a state. https://open.books4languages.com/english-a1-grammar/chapter/gerund

Gerunds are verbs that act like nouns! We do this by adding "ing" to a verb after a state verb! An example would be "I like walking with Larisa" Like is a state verb while walking is now a noun known as a gerund! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/english-grammar-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/english-grammar-review/support

If you ve ever been on a date with someone you really find intriguing but half way through listening to them tell you the story of their life you wonder, "How am I going to respond with something intelligent " you ll know what it s like looking across the table at Kristin Lyman. Not only can Kristin dazzle and intimidate you with her day job, after hours you can she hip hop dance your ass off. For even more of an intellectual humbling, try having a conversation with super brainiac P H Fred. Not only does the guy speak Latin fer Chrissakes, he can also break down multiple languages into grammatical pieces like gerunds and dangling participles. There are certain circles where that sort of stuff can get you laid. So can working people out in a San Francisco gym. Ask Jon Roniger. Not only is Jon a New Orleans version of Dean Martin meets Django Reinhardt which Andrew Duhon suggests he needs to adapt to Dean Reinhardt and use as porn name but Jon is also a workout trainer in a past life as well as a serial partier. Checking his mojo at the door ended up getting him straight and married and entertaining the masses in New Orleans most nights a week with the most debonair je ne sais quoi in town. Monsieur Duhon is back in town apre Paris where he was low on his accordion count but high on smoking women. Photos at Wayfare by Alison Moon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello listeners, sometimes I like to improvise my classes and sometimes I improvise episodes of Zdenek's English podcast, too. And sometimes these two happen simultaneously. Yesterday, I was teaching a lesson on gerunds and infinitives. There is one free-style activity I like to do to conclude this grammar chapter. And I asked my students whether they would be up for doing this live for the podcast. They unanimously said yes. So if you want to find out more about verb patterns I suggest that you listen to the episode of this podcast. There is a lot of banter and laughter involved. Get ready for some twist and turns, and revelations, too. The last but not the least, you will find out how you should never pronounce "can't". I suppose I should warn you that there is some explicit content but it is all used for educational purposes. P.S We are not alcoholics and I do not ask my students for bribes before the exams.

This English lesson contains examples and exercises. Hello everyone! How are you? It’s good to be back with you again, and thank you for downloading this Mansión Inglés podcast, recorded for July 2011. Hemos empezado el cuaderno mensual de julio con los meses del año. No son muy difíciles por que muchos que suenen parecidos al español. Por ejemplo ¿Qué es el mes de November en español? Si, eso es noviembre. ¿and October? – Si, octobre. No olvides que hay que escribir los meses con una mayúscula en inglés. Ahora escucha los meses y repítelos. January February March April May June July August September October November December También hemos practicado un poco de los números ordinales. Fifth – F-I-F-T-H es un número ordinal. Los ordinales en inglés se forman normalmente con sólo añadir la terminación -th. Excepto los tres primeros que son totalmente irregulares. Escucha y repite: First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh Se usan los ordinales en inglés para los días del mes. Repite: The first of May la preposición of se oye muy debil. Escucha y repite: The first of May - The first of May  - The first of May También se dice May the first Repite: The second of June June the second It’s the third of December It’s December the third Se usa el ordinal en los títulos de los reyes. Repite: King Juan Carlos the First Alphonso the Thirteenth Elizabeth the Second King Henry the Eighth También se usa el ordinal en las plantas de los edificios. Repite: I live on the second floor His office is on the third floor Aquí hay más ejemplos. Escucha y repítelos: This is my third job - This is my third job It’s my sister’s thirtieth birthday. Is she your first wife? Is today the fourteenth or the fifteenth? It’s our seventh anniversary tomorrow The expensive shops are on Fifth Avenue Very good! - ¡Muy bien! Ahora escucha y repite las siguiente fechas: The fifth of November, 1998 The second of February, 2005 The twenty-first of September, 2013 The twenty-third of April, 2011 The thirtieth of October, 2015 The twenty-second of May, 1999 The sixth of July, 2007 The first of March, 2014 Si quieres practicar más, hay ejemplos y ejercicios adicionales en la parte de gramática de nuestra página web mansioningles.com.

Infórmate en mansioningles.com The words like and as can be confusing for Spanish speakers because they can both be translated to Spanish as como . I work as a waiter. Trabajo como un camerero. They stared at him like he was crazy  - Se quedaron mirándolo como si estuviera loco. In the intermediate section this month, we practised some uses of like and as. Listen and repeat some example sentences.                                         This tastes just like chicken. My sister works as a nurse. Why are you standing there like an idiot? I’m looking or a job, just like you. No, not like that. Do it like this. This looks like gold. It smells like onions. - It smells like onions. It sounds like Britney Spears. I’m tired, as usual. I haven’t got any money, as usual. I do it as a hobby. I love adventure sports like rock climbing and snow boarding. Next we had a look at gerunds and infinitives after verbs.  Es decir, los gerundios y los infinitivos cuando vienen después de los verbos. I’m going to say some verbs and I want you to say ‘gerund’ if the verb is followed by a gerund, and ‘infinitive’ if it’s followed by an infinitive. Let’s see how many you get right. Ready? Ok, an easy one to begin with the verb want – gerund or infinitive? It’s infinitive. I want to go on holiday, I want to see you tomorrow. I want to say I love you. Now, the verb enjoy? Gerund or infinitive? Well, enjoy is followed by a gerund. I enjoy going to parties. I enjoy playing tennis. We all enjoy studying English with Mansión Inglés, for example. Now, what about the verb offer – ofrecer – gerund or infinitive? – infinitive – He offered to give me a lift to the airport. I offered to help her with her presentation. My boss offered to give me a rise in salary. Hmm.. actually I don’t think my boss would ever offer to give me a rise in salary. Hmm…actually, I don’t think my boss would ever offer to give me a rise in salary! Next is the verb to happen – gerund or infinitive? Infinitive again. She happened to be there - dio la casualidad de que estaba ahí. In Spanish, the verb happen can mean pasar or suceder or ocurrir. But when happen is followed by an infinitive, it means por casualidad. - If you happen to see her… - si por casualidad la ves… What about the verb refuse? – negarse or rechazar. Gerund or infinitive? – infinitive. She refused to see me. I refused to accept their offer. Are you refusing to do it? What about mind? Like in the expression Would you mind? Gerund or infinitive? Gerund. Repeat: Would you mind phoning me back this afternoon? Would you mind helping me with this? Also ‘Do you mind..’. Repeat: Do you mind waiting a few minutes? Do you mind going by train? What about the verb hope? Gerund or infinitive? Infinitive. Verbs that are used to speak about the future are usually followed by the infinitive. Repeat: I hope to retire when I’m 55. She hopes to change her car next year. What about remind - recordarle? Remind is followed by the infinitive. Please remind me to phone David tomorrow. Notice that the object pronoun ME is after remind and before the infinitive. Remind me to phone. Repeat: She reminded me to phone her. – She reminded him to go. – They reminded us to buy etc. Next we have the verb to admit. Gerund or infinitive? – gerund. Repeat: He admitted stealing the money – I admitted breaking the TV. Agree? Gerund or infinitive? Infinitive. They agreed to go out for dinner. He’s agreed to lend me his video camera. Suggest in Spanish is sugerir, proponer. Gerund or infinitive? Gerund. He suggested getting a pizza. They suggested leaving around 6 in the morning. The verb to deny – negar – gerund or infinitive? Gerund. He denied making the mistake. She denied having an affair. What about the verb consider? Consider is followed by a gerund. My wife and I are considering buying a house. I considered leaving my job. And promise, to promise – is it followed by a gerund or an infinitive? – infinitive. I promise to phone you next week. Will you promise to always love me? She promised to tell me. The verb to threaten in Spanish is amenazar. Gerund or infinitive? – Infinitive. He threatened to take us to court. She threatened to leave me. Next was the verb to appreciate. Gerund or infinitive? Gerund. Repeat: I really appreciated spending time with you. The verb to warn – W-A-R-N is advertir in Spanish. Gerund or infinitive? – infinitive. I warned you not to see him again. I’m warning you to stay away from her. Afford means permitirse (el lujo) or proporcionar. Gerund or infinitive? – infinitive. I can’t afford to buy a new car. Can we really afford to go on holiday this year? The verb advise? Gerund or infinitive? – Advise is followed by the infinitive. I advise you to make an offer on the flat. Notice that, like the verb to remind, the pronoun is between the verb and the infinitive. Repeat: They advised us to sell. She advised me to go. He advised her not to do it. Our final verb is to help. Is help followed by a gerund or infinitive? – infinitive. I’ll help you to do it. Again, notice the pronoun YOU after the verb and before the infinitive. Repeat: He helped me to do it. She’s helping me to make the video. They helped us to move house. Now, if you’re thinking of taking the Cambridge First Certificate exam, you need to study these gerunds and infinitives. You also need to prepare for the exam using the Mansion Ingles FCE preparation course. El curso lleva 60 horas de prácticas y estudio y ha sido desarrollado por profesores especializados en la formación práctica para la preparación a FCE.

Haz nuestra prueba de nivel de First Certificate to see if you have the level to take the exam. And you can also download course content free to try the course before you buy. In the advanced section this month we looked at some idioms. Let’s see what you can remember. I’m going to say the Spanish idiom in my horrible Spanish accent, and I want you to say the English equivalent in your excellent English accent. And to make it easier to jog your memory (para refrescarte la memoria – to jog your memory) I’ll say a key word that is in the English translation, to help you. Ready? Ok, the first one is “No vendas la piel del oso antes de cazarlo”, or “No vendas la leche antes de comprar la vaca.” – CHICKENS -  “Don't count your chickens before they hatch." Another one: “Dios los hace y ellos se juntan. or Dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres.” – BIRDS - “Birds of a feather flock together.” Ok? “No hay maestro como carne propia.” -  EXPERIENCE - “Experience is the best teacher.” “No hay mal que por bien no venga.” – CLOUD -  “Every cloud has a silver lining.” “Más vale pájaro en mano que ciento volando.” – BUSH - "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." “Cuando el río suena, agua lleva.” – SMOKE - “Where there's smoke, there's fire.” “A caballo regalado no se le miran los dientes”  GIFT - "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." “Árbol que nace torcido, jamás su tronco endereza” – DOG - "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." How many did you remember? All of them? Well you can listen to this podcast again to jog your memory. Now, in the business English section we practised the following words and expressions: trade unions, to go on strike, technical support, personnel department, management, go slow, open-planned offices, an overtime ban, head office, office administration and industrial action. I’m going to read the text from the monthly newsletter, el cuaderno mensual,  and I want you to guess a word when I pause. Now, this is quite difficult so you may want to do the gap fill exercise in the newsletter before you listen, or just listen to the text two or three times. Try to remember the vocabulary and repeat it after me. Ready? Try to guess the word. Here we go! In the Office The people who work for a company are its employees or personnel. Other names include staff, workforce and workers. The word for the group of people organising and leading the company is the management. The most important office of a company or organization is called its head office. Some managers have their own individual offices, but in many businesses most employees work in large areas where people work together, called open-planned offices. Office administration (or admin) is the everyday work that supports a company’s activities and it is often done by administration staff or support staff. For example, those giving technical help to buyers of the company’s products are in technical support. Labour unions (in Spanish sindicatos) are organizations defending the rights and interests of the workers. In British English, they are called trade unions. When workers are not happy with pay or conditions, they may take industrial action. If the workers walk out of their workplace and stop working for a time (hacer una huelga), they go on strike. Workers may decide not to go on strike, but instead to continue to work, but slower than usual, they have a go slow.  Another kind of industrial action is where workers refuse to work more than the normal agreed number of hours that appear in their contract. This is called an overtime ban, Larger organizations have what is called a human resources department, or HRD. This department deals with pay, recruitment etc. Another name for this department is the personnel department. Well, that’s it for this week. Thanks to all of you for listening.

Advanced. One of my favorite hobbies is gardening. I suppose I must have inherited the gardening gene, because, apparently, on my father's side, my grandmother had tremendously green fingers. That is what we say in England for someone who is adept and experienced at growing flowers and vegetables. In the United States, the expression is to have 'green thumbs'. Now that the seasons have changed and Winter is approaching, gardening mainly entails tidying up around the still-blooming Autumn flowers, raking leaves, digging up the last of the vegetables, and collecting seeds. The latter is my favorite. Seeds are everywhere, and what an incredible, potent piece of nature they are! If you are patient and selective, you can gather enough for next year to propagate a field full of color. You can actually become a designer of next year's garden. What a thrill! Grammar notes. Useful expressions: I suppose, apparently, mainly, actually, the former, the latter. What a thrill = it's a thrill. Gerund used as a noun, ie the gardening. Ex. I must get the gardening done. Other exs: the painting, the raking, the reading, the sewing etc. Beginners. I love to work in the garden. Being outside is both healthy and fun. The colors of the flowers and vegetables can be very beautiful. Now is Autumn, so many plants are producing seeds. They are small but very powerful things. I collect them. Why do I do this? Well, next year I will use them in my garden. I don't need to buy seeds if I have so many already in my back yard. My children will help me plant them. We will talk about the plants that will grow, and also how to look after them. This is a fun activity for the whole family. Grammar notes. Garden = yard (americanism) Color (americanism) = colour. Present continuous tense = verb to be + gerund. Exs: we are going, the tree is growing, I am leaving now, she is cooking. Questions. Use either do or does for general present tense non-continuous tense. Ex: Does he read magazines? Why do you shout? Do we need more milk? What do they do on Saturdays? etc.
