Perfecting Pronunciation with -ing

This video tutorial covers the rules for adding 'ing' to verbs. It explains that when a verb ends with one or more consonants, 'ing' can be added directly. For verbs ending in a consonant followed by an 'e', the 'e' is removed before adding 'ing'. Additionally, when a verb ends with a short vowel followed by a consonant, the final consonant is doubled to keep the vowel short before adding 'ing'.
