    IT'S THE PRESENT PARTICIPLES AFTER VERBS OF MOVEMENT, ACTION, OR POSITION, TO INDICATE PARALLEL ACTIVITY.

    EXAMPLES

    She sat looking at the sea.
    He walks reading his newspaper.
    I cook listening to the radio.
    Sally lay listening to the bugs in the grass.

    ඔයා පවුලේ කි වෙනියා ද කියලා අහන්නේ කොහොම ද බන් ?



    :rofl:

    "Where are you in your sibling hiearchy ?",
    "What child are you in your family?",
    "Where do you come in your family?",
    "What is your birth order in your family?",
    "What is your place in the birth order of your family?" ,.

    However, you can always get answers like youngest, oldest, middle etc. An ordinal number is not guaranteed (2nd , 3rd etc).
