Let's start with a recap on 

relative pronouns!

You have dealt with relative pronouns before.

In Unit 5!

What are relative pronouns?

Pronouns ...

1. pointing to specific things
2. taking the place of specific nouns
3. refering to nouns mentioned previously

who/which/that/O?
She sent me a reply, ... simply said: "OK".

1. who
2. which
3. that
4. O

who/which/that/O?
She was somebody ... always looked happy.

1. who
2. which
3. that
4. O

who/which/that/O?
My sister, ... is 11 years old, is smart.

1. who
2. which
3. that
4. O

We'll practive with these relative pronouns in eDition in a few moments.

But first, an instruction on the gerund.

Gerunds are quite easy, as you might remember from Unit 5, again!

Do you remember what gerunds are
and what they look like?

Gerunds (1/4)

Gerunds are verbs turned 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:

Singing is fun.

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)

I am fond of dancing.

there is no point in waiting.

4. after expressions (uitdrukkingen)

It's no use trying it again.

I look forward to meering you.

Gerunds (3/4)

Forming the gerund

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

Just like you do in the present continuous!

But, yes, as there are exceptions in spelling in the continuous the same expections apply to the gerund>

Gerunds (4/4)

1. verbs of 1 syllable ending in consonant-vowel-consonant > double the last consonant > stopping

2. verbs ending in consonant+e> drop the "e" > making

3. verbs of 2 syllalbles anding in "el" > double "l"> travelling
