Yoong Liat, "around" and "over" are not verbs - they are adverbs.

Neighbours (note correct spelling in BrE) gatherered around her as she lay in the middle of the street.

By the way, which words should I use?

Many thanks.

Thanks, Dadpad.

Neighbours gatherered around her as she lay in the middle of the street.

I was concentrating on my own mistakes and lost my focus on the sentence.

I figured as much, which is why i did not just tell you the word.

All of us need to be pushed occasionally to make our minds work.
