"Gerunds and infinitives come from verb forms but
function as nouns. A gerund or an infinitive can be a
direct object of a verb". Este trecho foi extrado do
livro Top Notch 2 (p. 76), o qual define a origem dos
termos: gerndio e infinitivo. O trecho retirado da
internet abaixo pontua as diferenas entre estas duas
formas verbais.
Teaching Gerunds and Infinitives
I Like to Swim or Swimming Is Fun: Define the
Differences
At the basic level you will need to start out just by
distinguishing the difference and doing this while
keeping your language pretty simple. Heres an
example that has been quite successful. The most
confusing part in choosing either a gerund or an
infinitive is that they have similar jobs and perform
many of the same functions.
They both:
Look like verbs, but are actually nouns.
Can be the subject of a sentence: Jogging is good
exercise. To jog is good exercise.
Can be the object of a verb: I like reading books. I like
to read books.
Only gerunds:
Can be the object of a preposition, for example: We are
talking about swimming in English class. We discussed
quitting smoking for good.
So when do we know when to use one or the other?
That can difficult to define. In general, the rule to
follow is:
Gerunds are used to express actions that are real,
concrete and completed.
Infinitives are used to express actions that are unreal,
abstract or may be in the future.

Bahrain expels U.S. teacher, says she incited 'hatred'
By Schams Elwazer, CNN
August 12, 2013 -- Updated 1136 GMT (1936 HKT)
CNN) -- Bahrain has deported an American teacher,
saying that tweets and posts she made on websites
incited "hatred" against the government and the royal
family.
In a statement, the Ministry of Communications said
the unnamed teacher was deported for her "activities
linked to radical opposition groups," as well as
violating the terms of her work permit by working as
an unaccredited journalist.
The ministry said she published a number of articles
for online journals, including one linked to Hezbollah.
2012: A revolution deferred in Bahrain
"We cannot have someone teaching impressionable
young children who supports an internationally
recognized terrorist organization like Hezbollah," said
the principal at the school where the woman taught,
according to the Bahrain News Agency.
The teacher's expulsion comes as Bahraini opposition
groups gear up for a mass protest set for Wednesday.
Tensions in the kingdom remain high after a 2011
uprising in which the majority Shiite population
protested against the ruling Sunni minority.
The protests were spurred by uprisings in Tunisia and
Egypt.
But the demonstrations failed to gain the traction of
other Arab Spring uprisings after a crackdown by
authorities in the island state, backed by troops from
nearby Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates
under the banner of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Velazquezs Las Meninas is a 1656 painting, in the
Museo del Prado in Madrid. Las Meninas (Spanish for
the Maids of Honor) is a portrait of Infanta Margarita,
the daughter of King Philip IV, and his second wife
Mariana of Austria. The painting's complex and
enigmatic composition is an excellent example of how
great works of art are made.
Las Meninas allows the spectator to freely interact
with the paintings various contradictory points of
view and therefore offers him a fuller understanding of
the paintings emotional and intellectual depth.

Infanta Margarita has dropped in to see Velazquez at

work. She stops right next to him, at the center of the
foreground of the painting, but she seems perplexed.
Velazquez spotted Infanta Margaritas psychological
perplexity in front of the large window of his studio
and analyzed her behavior. Picassos recreation of Las
Meninas (1957) portrayed Infanta Margaritas
perplexity in a highly expressionistic and masterful
manner.
There is a peculiar strangeness (paradox) in Las
Meninas. Infanta Margarita is definitely not posing for
her portrait. Next we see that the King and the Queen
are reflected in the back wall mirror of his studio.
Therefore we assume that Velazquez is painting the
portrait of the royal couple who is standing behind his
easel. But as we look deeper we discover that Infanta
Margarita is the center of attention and focus of Las
Meninas.
Velazquezs technique of painting was inspired by
Baroque. Baroque is the period and the style that used
exaggerated motion in order to produce drama and
tension in sculpture, painting, literature, dance, and
music. Velazquezs expressionistic handling of paint,
his exploitation of its materiality, and his tendencies
toward abstraction surpassed the boundaries of
Baroque and therefore by looking deeper in his
paintings we start to sense his close proximity to our
Modern times.

Diego Velazquez - Biography
The Spanish painter Diego Velazquez (June 6, 1599 August 6, 1660) at the age of 25 was hired by Spains
king (Philip IV) and became his favorite court painter.
In the early 1650s the king offered Velzquez the Pieza
Principal ("main room") which was serving as the
palace museum, to use as his studio. In this studio
Velazquez painted Las Meninas. Philip IV had his own
chair in the studio and would often sit and watch
Velzquez at work.
In February 1651, Velazquez was appointed palace
chamberlain (aposentador mayor del palacio). The post
brought him status and material reward, but its duties
made heavy demands on his time. During the
remaining eight years of his life, he painted only a few
works, mostly portraits of the royal family. When he
painted Las Meninas, (1656) he had been with the
royal household for 33 years.
The art-loving king had a very strong friendship with
the painter. After Velzquez's death (August 6, 1660),
he wrote: "I am crushed", in the margin of a
memorandum on the choice of his successor (Quoted
in: Canaday, John, 1972. Baroque Painters (First
published in 1969, in The Lives of the Painters). New
York: Norton Library).
