The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), an industry group that represents major record labels, filed suit against Napster. How does this affect you? It might put Napster out of business, and if you're a devoted Napster user, this is certainly sad news. Should the recording industry wish to get personal and go after individuals--and you engage in this kind of file trading--it's possible that you'll be taken to task (prosecuted) for your actions. Where will this all lead? Practice Recognizing the Verb Forms in Context 1.

Gerunds and Infinitives What is a Gerund? A gerund (often known as an -ing word) is a noun formed from a verb by adding -ing. See also Nouns/Gerund. Not all words formed with -ing are gerunds. You've probably been using them for years. What is the infinitive? An infinitive is to + the verb. The most famous infinitive quote has to be, "To be or not to be. Gerunds and infinitives are forms of verbs that act like nouns. When a verb follows a verb it either takes the gerund or infinitive form. Some verbs can take either the gerund or the infinitive with no loss of meaning. For example: With the verb start - "It started to rain." or "It started raining." Sometimes the use of the gerund or infinitive changes the meaning of the sentence. With the verb remember - "I remembered to do my homework". or "I remembered doing my homework." In the first sentence (I remembered to do my homework), the person speaking remembered they had some homework first and then carried out the action and did it. Gerunds after Prepositions

LES "DYS" : un site consacré aux troubles des apprentissages TÉMOIGNAGE d’une ENSEIGNANTE. Lausanne, le 17 février 2013. Dans ma pratique, j’ai eu la chance d’accompagner des enfants de différents âges, présentant des troubles praxiques. Impossible de décrire un “enfant type”; chaque situation est différente, chaque enfant réagissant, se construisant, apprenant, en fonction de sa personnalité, de son histoire, de son passé scolaire et de ses éventuels troubles associés. Je trouve que la problématique de la dyspraxie n’est pas facile à cerner. Dans le cas de la dyspraxie, pour moi, reviennent souvent les mêmes interrogations : Au moment de faire connaissance, la première chose qui me frappe est la difficulté d’organisation, et cela dès le vestiaire ; dans l’habillage pour les petits et dans l’organisation dans les affaires, cahiers, agendas, pour les plus grands. Puis vient l’aspect scolaire; je remarque souvent une grande lenteur dans l’organisation et l’exécution des tâches. Irritation. De son côté, l’enfant se sent probablement aussi perdu.
