Rules

5.Verbs ending in the following consonants: -x, -y, -w, will not be doubled, only the ending -ing is added Strew-Strewing, Fix-Fixing

4.For verbs that end in -ie, this ending is eliminated and one -and more -ing is added: Lie-Lying, Die -Dying

3. When the verb is a monosyllable that has a consonant-vowel-consonant in the last syllable, the last syllable is doubled and -ing is added: Swim-Swimming, Run-Running

2. If the verb ends in silent e, this letter is eliminated and the ending –ing is placed. Have-Having, Write-Writing.

1.In most cases, if the verb ends in a consonant we will limit ourselves to adding the ending that we already know, -ing: Study-Studying, Think-Thinking
