    - The suffix -ing can be added to verbs to form gerunds, nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. For verbs ending in "e", the "e" is dropped before adding "-ing". For one-syllable verbs ending in a single consonant, the final consonant is doubled. For verbs ending in a vowel-consonant combination, only the "-ing" is added. The exceptions are verbs ending in "-y" or "-w", which do not change. If the stress is not on the final syllable, doubling is not required. "For" is used to talk about a period of time, while "since" refers to a point in the past.

    can play different grammatical
    functions such as gerund , noun,
    adjective and adverb.

    and ending in a consonant, repeat

    doubled before adding -ing.

    LY A VOWEL + ENDING IN A CONSONAN


    If just in -y or -w not bend. This is because
    in the English phonetics and w and
    semivowels are considered.

    If the accent does not fall


    LY A VOWEL + ENDING IN A CONSONAN
    on the last syllable, not
    bend.

    NLY A VOWEL + ENDING IN A CONSONAN


    We can double the last consonant of a verb long as the stressed
    syllable of the verb (monosyllable or not) is at the end.
