- Spelling
Be careful with some words when adding -ing to the infinitive.
1) consonant after a short, stressed vowel at the end of the word.
Double the consonant.
Example: sit – he is sitting
put - he is putting
If the consonant is not stressed, we do not double it:
Example: benefit - benefiting (Here we stress the first 'e', not the 'i'.)
In British English we double one -l at the end of the word:
Example: travel – travelling

2) one -e at the end of the word

Leave out the -e.
write – he is writing
take – he is taking
BUT:
double –e: add -ing
see – he is seeing

3) verbs ending in -ie

Change 'ie' to 'y'.
lie - he is lying

4) verbs ending in -c
Change 'c' to 'ck'.
picnic - he is picnicking
