Present Continuous: Spelling Rules

Werkwoorden eindigend op een -e: de ‘-e’ laat je weg en in plaats daarvan plak je ‘-ing’ erachter. Bijvoorbeeld: conjuring, having, giving.

Werkwoorden eindigend op -c: zij krijgen een extra ‘k’ voor ‘-ing’: panicking, mimicking

Korte werkwoorden met één klinker: deze werkwoorden krijgen een dubbele medeklinker voor ‘-ing’: running, cutting, stopping

Present continuous: Signaalwoorden

• right now
• at the moment
• for the time being

Als een zin begint met: "Look!"  of "Listen!"

Present Continuous: Spelling Rules

	Rule	example
Most verbs	-ing	go = going look = looking
Verbs ending in -e	-e + ing	live = living
Verbs ending in a klinker + medeklinker	double the last medeklinker	sim = swimming sit = sitting
