The verb “to be” changes to “am” “is” or “are”
+ [verb +ing]
depending on the subject.

Some verbs follow different spelling rules for adding “ing”

If the verb ends in silent -e, drop the e and add -ing

Example:

You double the final consonant and add -ing if the verb meets ALL of these conditions:

1. It’s a one-syllable verb

2. It ends in consonant + vowel + consonant (CVC)

3. The final consonant is not w, x, or y
(these are never doubled)

Example:

If a verb ends in -ie, change -ie to -y, then add -ing
