    kills: Adding -ing

    erbs in the present continuous and past continuous tenses, you use the ending -ing. Here are some rules to help you

    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 shaving 16 hop hoping 31 sav saving

    you wish, you may use more than one -ing word in a single sentence. For example:

    was upstairs ing.
