The first sentence makes sense. It describes the person's attitude.

- I like helping people (gerund)

There may be a tiny difference but hardly worth noting. It may be that the first one may put the empasis on "people" (It's people you like to help) whereas the second may suggest you are just a helpful person (It's the helping you like). But that is so hard to distinguish in writing, it's perhaps not worth the concern.

collita is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: Position of adverbs

I think "I never go there" is the correct answer, only the adverb could be after the verb "to be"

But I don't know if it's correct the sentence "Never I went there"

thank you
