The present participle form is used because it ends in 'ing', for example 'hearing'. Finite verbs (conjugated verbs) have a subject, can change form and be used to make independent clauses (e.g. 'they smile a lot') whereas non-finite verbs (non-conjugated verbs) tend not to be changed like this.

It is structured with the infinitive form of the verb + the suffix -ing, example, the gerund
of walk is walking.

• So drinking is illegal in some countries.
• Someone is interested in buying your old telephone.

Escuela Normal Superior María Auxiliadora, in the city of Santa Marta. I am from Barranquilla, I was born in that city, but when I was thirteen years old I moved to the city of Santa Marta and my life changed.

I am a girl with dark brown hair, dark brown eyes (almost black), big nose, profiled eyebrows, long eyelashes and thin lips. This is my physique, but on the other hand is my personality, it is full of positive and negative things, nobody is perfect, and I am no exception, it consists of a balance, which holds my two sides, the good and the bad.

My family: We are four people, counting me, yes my family is not big but we know how to enjoy each other's company, we like to explore new places, travel and adventure. We like to spend time together, doing even the smallest things, we always have fun when the four of us are together.

What do I like most about people and what do I dislike?
I'll start by saying what I like about people. What I like about people is the solidarity they have, helping others without looking for anything in return, their concern for others, teaching others if they don't know, their joy and the advice they give you without knowing you. What I don't like about people is their greed, selfishness, envy, I hate that, and also that they give an opinion about our body or make an obscene comment about it.
