Anon,
There is a couple points we want you to be aware of when you post questions. We are all volunteers who enjoy helping learners. That said, first thing one has to learn is patience, and secondly, manners which you seem to lack. In case you are not aware, your message "I'm waiting..." is one of demand and impatience which can turn people away.

thank you very much teacher
that was really helpful
but I didn't mean see and hear
I mean when we use any verb in past simple
then we add a prounoun and a present participle
how to use it ?
