							| Dear colleagues,     I need your help. Can you say:   basic surviving skills and use surviving instead of survival?   It seems OK to me but I need to be sure.     Thank you for your answers.  |  15 Oct 2019

							| No, "surviving" is incorrect.  "Survival" is correct in front of the word "skills".   Zoe Morosini  |  15 Oct 2019

							| Saying surviving skills means by definition skills that are surviving. 
So survival is the correct one |  15 Oct 2019
