Exceptions include dropping the "e" before adding "-ing" if the verb ends in "e", doubling the final consonant if the verb ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant, and changing "ie" to "ying" if the verb ends that way. Examples are given for each rule to illustrate their use.

    PAST CONTINUOUS

    SPELLING RULES
    VERBS WITH ING.

    The general rule is just to add -ING


    to the end of the verb.
    EXAMPLES
    Feel . feeling
    Go . going
    Work ..
    Working
    Walk
    walking
    Talk . Talking

    If the verb ends in an E we remove


    the E and add ING.
    EXAMPLES
    Have .

    Exception:
    Be .
    Being
    See .
    Seeing

    Having
    Make.
    Making
    Take ..
    Taking
    He was having breakfast yesterday
    morning.

    If the verb ends in a consonant + vowel +


    consonant, we double the final consonant and
    add ING.

    EXAMPLES
    Stop .
    Stopping
    Sit
    .
    Sitting
    Get ..
    Getting
    They were sitting on that chair just
    now.

    But, we do not double the final


    consonant when the verb ends in W, X or
    Y.

    EXAMPLES
    Fix .
    Fixing
    Enjoy
    Enjoying
    Snow
    Snowing
    It was snowing last winter.

    When a verb ends in '-l' the '-l' is


    doubled and '-ing' is added (in British
    English):

    EXAMPLES
    British English

    Travel.
    Travelling
    Cancel
    Cancelling

    American English

    Travel.
    Traveling
    Cancel
    Canceling

    If the verb ends in IE we change it to


    YING.
    EXAMPLES
    Lie Liying
    Die ..
    Dying
    Tie .
    Tying

    If a verb has more than one syllable and ends


    inconsonant+vowel+consonant, we double
    the final consonantonly if the final syllable is
    stressedand add '-ing'

    EXAMPLES
    The final syllable is
    Admitstressed

    Admitting
    Begin
    Beginning
    Refer .
    Referring

    The first syllable is


    Happen.
