 Spelling rules

When the verb has one-syllable and ends with consonant + vowel + consonant (CVC rule), we
double the last consonant and then add "ing".

run.....running
sit.....sitting

Note: the letters "w – x and y" are exceptions to this rule. fix.....fixing
enjoy.....enjoying

Example: The jaguar is running. 

When we don’t pronounce the last "e" of a verb (when it’s not strong), we drop it.

make.....making
take.....taking

I am writing an e-mail right now. (the last letter “e” is silent)

Note: when the last letter "e" is strong, we cannot drop it.

Example: They are dancing cumbias.

We change “ie” to “y” for the verbs ending in those letters.

lie.....lying
tie.....tying

 Example: He is lying to his boss
