    The document provides spelling rules for adding "-ing" to verbs in the present progressive tense. It explains that most verbs simply add "-ing", verbs ending in "e" only add "-ing" and not double the last letter, and one-syllable verbs ending in consonant-vowel-consonant add the letter before "-ing" and not double. It also notes that two-syllable verbs with stress on the last syllable and verbs ending in "k", "x", or "y" do not double the final consonant when adding "-ing". Finally, it provides examples of verbs to which "-ing" should be added according to the rules.
