11.16.8<br />

Some English ‘-ing’ constructions are disguised relative clauses and must<br />

be translated as such into Dutch:<br />

The tree standing in the park is very old.<br />

De boom die in het park staat, is erg oud.<br />

The man in the corner reading the paper is my uncle.<br />

De man in de hoek die de krant leest/zit te lezen, is mijn oom.<br />

11.16.9<br />

An infinitive noun construction also exists but can usually<br />

be avoided by other means:<br />

You must be careful when getting in.<br />

Je moet oppassen bij het instappen.<br />

This could of course be translated as follows:<br />

Je moet oppassen wanneer/als je instapt.<br />

11.16.10<br />

The so-called gerund in English, i.e. the present participle used as a noun,<br />

is rendered in Dutch by the infinitive—such nouns are always neuter (see<br />

11.16.9):<br />

The cooking of vegetables is a great art.<br />

Het koken van groente is een grote kunst.<br />

Writing novels doesn’t interest me.<br />

Het schrijven van romans/Romans schrijven interesseert<br />

me niet.<br />
