​La forma in -ing si costruisce aggiungendo -ing alla forma base del verbo

  • una sola vocale + consonante, ed è:

    • un verbo di una sillaba

    • un verbo di due sillabe con l'accento su ultima sillaba

  • - l preceduta da una sola vocale ==>

  • ie ==>

​make => making / have => having

​la consonante finale raddoppia + -ing

stop => stopping

begin => beginning

​raddoppia la -l + -ing travel => travelling

-ie cambia in -y lie => lying
