SPELLING RULES

•continuous verbs
•To make continuous verbs add -ing to the base verb:

•silent 'e'
•When the verb ends with a silent e, drop the e and add -ing:
•make becomes making
take becomes taking
• one-syllable verbs
• For short, one-syllable verbs, that end with consonant + vowel + consonant (CVC), we must double
the last consonant and then add -ing:
• swim becomes swimming
run becomes running
• w, x and y
• For words that end w, x and y, do not double the last consonant; just add -ing:
• enjoy becomes enjoying
study becomes studying
•two-syllable words
•When words have two or more syllables ending in CVC, you must double the
last consonant if the last syllable is stressed. When the last syllable is not stressed,
just add -ing.
•The last syllable is stressed:
commit becomes committing
•The last syllable is not stressed:
whisper becomes whispering
•-ie verbs
•For verbs that end in -ie, change the ie to y before adding -ing:
