Renato! Que Bueno, Senor. I teach ESL, and one of the most difficult things in pronounciation is the -ing sound...feel free to emphasize it in words like going and listening in particular.
All the best, Matt
Hi Renato, your speaking is improving. Congrats!
I would like to share the difference between a verb and a verb with ing. This will help you in your written work too.
Listen and climb = Intransitive Verb (A verb that does not take a direct object is an intransitive verb.)
Listening and climbing = Transitive Verb (A verb that requires a direct object is a transitive verb.)
In this exercise "man is climbing the ladder" and "woman is listening to some music"; "ladder" and "music" are the objects.
Something that is affected by a verb is object.
