    Word Skills: Adding -ing Language Objectives

    Spell the -ing form of ve


    When you write verbs in the present continuous and past rbs
    correctly. Use -ing words
    continuous tenses, you use the ending -ing. Here are some correctly in sentences.
    rules to help you add that ending.

    Rule 1: For words that end in a silent (not pronounced) -e, drop the -e and add -ing.
    Example: smile smiling
    Rule 2: For one-syllable words that end in consonant-vowel-consonant (except x and w),
    double the last letter and add -ing.
    Examples: sit sitting run running
    Rule 3: For most other words (including words that end in -y), add -ing with no changes.
    Examples: rain raining send sending

    A Use these rules to add -ing to the following words:

    1. shave 16. hope 31. save

    2. comb 17. jump 32. tap

    3. make 18. joke 33. carry

    4. feed 19. marry 34. buy

    5. do 20. put 35. sew

    6. empty 21. say 36. eat

    7. jog 22. talk 37. write

    8. take 23. stop 38. dream

    9. vacuum 24. type 39. cut

    10. go 25. use 40. roar

    11. sleep 26. worry 41. snap

    12. wax 27. look 42. dig

    13. change 28. bat 43. bury

    14. fry 29. dance 44. see

    15. get 30. hurry 45. skate

    B Now write a sentence in your notebook for each of the -ing words you made. If you
    wish, you may use more than one -ing word in a single sentence. For example:
    While Dad was ing, Lee was ing on the telephone, and I was
    upstairs ing.

    SKILL OBJECTIVES: Constructing gerunds; applying rules for spelling changes. Review the rules for spelling changes with the
    class. Do several examples together, then assign the page for independent written work. After Part B has been completed, ask each
    student to read his/her favorite sentence aloud to the class.
