 The general rule when changing a verb into its -ING form is just to add -ING to the end of the verb

to sleep sleeping
 If the verb ends in an E we remove the E and add ING

 If the verb ends in a consonant + vowel + consonant, we double the final consonant and add ING.

But, we do not double the final consonant when the verb ends in W, X or Y or when the final syllable is
not emphasized
