Let's start with an instruction

about the gerund

Gerunds (1/4)

Gerunds are verbs made into nouns. Why?

1. to use it as a subject

2. to use it as a direct object after verbs of feeling and phase

3. to use it after prepositions

4. to use it after set expressions

Gerunds (2/4)

1. as a subject:

Having a friend like you is great.

2. after verbs of feeling and phase

I love travelling.

They stopped seeing each other.

3. after prepositions (voorzetzels)

4. after expressions (uitdrukkingen)

It's no use trying it again.

Gerunds (3/4)

Normally verb+ing: singing/waiting/meeting/seeing

Just like you do in the present continuous!
