This is an important grammar topic at the intermediate level. This short episode introduces the idea of ergative verbs. 

Ergative verbs are a set of verbs which have a third option besides being active or passive: ergative. This means they are active in form, with the receiver of the verb's action as the subject. The meaning is the same as the passive. 

The examples I use in the episode: 
The store opens at 10. 
The movie will star at 8pm. 
The music stopped. 
The weather changed.
The chicken is cooking. 
The car is reversing. 
The plants grew. 
The window broke.

In today's episode, we learn why it's wrong to say that the food was 'very delicious', or that the weather was 'very freezing'. The reason is all to do with the fact that some adjectives are GRADABLE - we can make them stronger or weaker by using intensifiers such as 'very' or 'fairly', for example 'she's very pretty' or 'the weather is very hot'. But other adjectives are UNGRADABLE, which means that they're already at the very top (e.g., 'amazing') or the very bottom (e.g., terrible). But how do we stress these adjectives, if we can't use 'very'? Learn how in today's podcast, and manage to avoid one of the most common mistakes made by students of English.

Avoiding common mistakes - Ungradable Adjectives

« ¡Triste época la nuestra! Es más fácil desintegrar un átomo que un prejuicio».
Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)

¿QUÉ ES UN PREJUICIO?, ¿Y UN ESTEREOTIPO?

Un prejuicio es…
Un juicio u opinión, generalmente negativo, que se forma sin motivo y sin el conocimiento necesario. Es el pensamiento, emociones y actitud, por lo general negativas, que una persona o un individuo tienen ante otra persona o grupo de personas a los que considera ajenos a su grupo de referencia, entendido el grupo como una región, nación, religión, cultura, clase social, orientación , profesión, etc.

Un estereotipo es…
Una imagen mental muy simplificada, con pocos detalles, acerca de un grupo de gente que comparte ciertas cualidades características. Puede ser tanto positivo como negativo, aunque normalmente es negativo. Suele ser un conjunto de creencias compartidas socialmente sobre las características de una persona que suelen exagerar un determinado rasgo que se cree que tiene una determinado grupo. 

DIFERENCIAS PREJUICIO‑ESTEREOTIPO
Los estereotipos son ideas semejantes a los prejuicios.  
Los estereotipos se diferencian de los prejuicios en estos dos aspectos: se trata de un conjunto de ideas y se suelen atribuir a grupos de personas. 
El estereotipo es una imagen mental muy simplificada. Es colectivo. No se puede estereotipar a una persona, ya que se trata de una imagen compartida por una colectividad. Es la concreción del prejuicio.
