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 W, Y, X.
fix --> fixing
flow --> flowing
play --> playing
Now, let's type some verbs to practice the spelling rules explained to you.
