Answer:

"Swim" becomes a gerund in a sentence like, "His favorite sport is swimming." While not one of the traditional eight parts of speech in the English language, a gerund is a specific type of word applied to English grammar. The word stems from a verbal, or a verb form, but does not act as a verb in a sentence.

Why do most people in South America live near the coast?​
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

I am taking World Geo right now....we just studied South America. There are several factors as to why the population is concentrated along the coast. For starters the rainforests are not good for farming...there is no nutrients in the soil to sustain agriculture ( all of the nutrients are in the native vegetation) Another reason why people live along the coast is because major cities are along there. People migrate to the cities to look for work because the poor have no farmland and they need jobs to make a living. Alot of the good farmland is still held in large estates by the rich, which was passed down from generation to generation from when South America was being colonized by the Spanish and the Portugese.

Actual people cannot be considered valid sources for research.<br><br> True or False
umka21 [38]
True and false. It all depends on what you are researching. If it involves them, such as how many times they eat daily, the statement is false, but if it is looking for data on the fish population, the statement would be true. Therefore, this is false because people can be used.

Oh i'm sorry i forgot to introduce myself my name is *insert name* and, last night i had a very strange dream can i talk to you about it? Alright well have a seat and i will tell you all about it. so i was camping out in the forest and i got hungry so i went to fish. While going to fish i found this old man who said," make sure to be careful while fishing there has been alot of accidents lately" i just looked at him and went back to fishing but, i should've toke this warning seriously. As i was fishing i felt a tug i thought it was fish but little did i know i would be getting myself into deep trouble literally. I tried to pull it up but then i went down in the water. I couldn't swim that good but then i noticed i could breathe. I was confused why i could swim so i tried to walk, I could walk also!! i saw a sign and went towards it the sign said deep trouble and in the distance i could see a shark and a whale fighting each other. i went closer so i could see it clearly. The whale was dying!! Then they saw me and started to come for me and i ran as fast as i could but i couldn't get away. as i looked behind i saw the sharks bloody teeth and gray silk skin opening his jaws to eat me. as soon as he went in for the bite i woke up. It was almost as like i was in another dimension and had just returned to mines. Wow your still here thank you so much for staying and listening i had to get this out my chest.
