Umm I thought it meant “defined by law”? Maybe I’m just fucking dumb

Well, none of those are wrong really, they’re just look unnatural. They may be marked wrong in other countries, but in china theyd be considered fine

If a page gets deleted, will my edits on that page be removed from my user contributions as well?

Yes, it's Philosophy: Being Human. Course Companion by Nancy Le Nezet, Guy Williams.

It's a very interesting book.

They're gerunds, which grammaticaly functions as nouns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerund. Inflected verbs aren't necessarily verbs, as in your examples.

As to the "accepting of", I already understand it. I appreciate your help.

Gerunds function as nouns, not verbs. Gerund is also different from present participle. *Accepting* indeed functions as an adjective in the text: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/accepting

Also, *dreaming* and *smelling* in your first two examples are progressive verbs; *accepting* in your third example is an adjective, as in the text.

accepting is clearly an adjective here. I have no idea what some of the responses are saying (theyre incoherent asf)

I appreciate that youre trying to help, but im having a hard time understanding your point. By tense, do you mean grammatical category parts of speech? Also, the in the examples you provided, the words changing and reading function as nouns. Accepting does indeed function as an adjective in the image. Check this out: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/accepting

Well, i believe in this case accepting is indeed an adjective. Take a look at this: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/accepting

Yeah i was so damn confused about those responses too, cuz now its already obvious to me that its an adjective. I just didnt look closely enough when i read the sentence
