what is the grammatical phenomena

0Good evening,02br
02br
00I try to solute this task but have problems in some cases...so I'm looking forward for some help;-)02br
02br
00Identify the following grammatical phenomena and, if possible, indicate the rule behind them.02br
02br
00I mark the important stead in the sentence, so you can see which rule has to be found:02br
02br
001. she said that coming here was just 01b00a beginning02b00, she realized that her life after all their postings had many other possibilities left for her.02br
02br
00My assumption is that we have her a nounification (if this word do exist 05000)-->the verb to begin has become a noun)...but maybe something different is asked here...!?02br
02br
002. naturally 01b00having waited02b00 for it so long time.02br
02br
00I just can't find the correct designation for this tense 05102br
02br
003- "..." she liked to say, making 01b00suffering faces02b00.02br
02br
00this is no participle, am I right?02br
02br
00My english in general is okay, but my grammer is miserable! So this task was really hard for me:( I hope you will help me with these last sentences;-) Thank you very much!010id411id6
