If I was to refer to people who like fish, I'd say something like 「魚が好きな人」, but if I was to refer to people who do something, how would I go about saying that? Would the format be similar, or would it be completely different. I know in Japanese, to like is treated as an adjective, where as, someone doing something would be a verb, so if I was to refer to people who wear pants, would I say it as something like this 「ズボンを履いている人」? I'm not sure if I'd use the TE form of the verb, or if I'd have to use a different form, nor am I sure if I need to use いる or ある. I went with いる, as I'm referring to a live, animate person, but I'm not even sure if I'm even remotely close to saying it properly. Is there some other particle I'd need to use, or a different sentence structure? Or would referring to a group of people based on something they do, such as people who wear something, people who exercise, or certain actions be unnatural in Japanese?

2Does this answer your question? What are the general principles of using verbs to modify nouns (e.g. 焦げるトースト/焦げたトースト)? – Eiríkr Útlendi Nov 16 '20 at 18:58
