Follow or following

I know that following is an adjective and follow is a verb, but I don't know which one to use in the following text.

I have done several projects which are as follows/following

A. First Project

B. Second

.

.

.

I wonder if we can use any other structure to convey the same purpose.

Thanks in advance

hrsanei I have done several projects which are as follows/following "Which are as follows :" is the normal word. I personally would probably say, "I have completed (worked on) the following projects:" You're correct. The present participle is an adjective here, and "to follow" is normally a verb.

  • The expression "as follows" is an idiom, I believe, and it's difficult to analyze it as a finite verb in this example.
  • Someone else may have an analysis for it.
