ENDING VERBS WITH "-ING"

Hi There!!!






How to form the ending "-ing" of verbs in
English language.

You have to add the sufix "-ing" at the end of every verb. But, you must bare in mind the following rules:

* Verbs ends in "e", change it by "i"

examples

ride --> riding
write --> writing
freeze --> freezing
dance --> dancing
phone --> phoning

* When the verb ends

CONSONANT + VOWEL + CONSONANT

you have to double the last consonant.

examples

win --> winning
sit --> sitting
cut --> cutting
swim --> swimming
stop --> stopping
skip --> skipping
begin --> beginning
dig --> digging

But, there are some exceptions that don't follow this rule.

*These verbs don't double the last consonant because the stress is placed on the first syllable

open --> opening
happen --> happening
visit --> visiting
listen --> listening


* Don't double the last consonant if the verbs end in WYX.

fix --> fixing
flow --> flowing
play --> playing






Now, let's type some verbs to practice the spelling rules explained to you.
