SECOND PART. WRITE FIVE NORMS TO ADD “ING” FORM TO VERBS: (5 MARKS)
Para añadir -ing al verbo, lo que se conoce por muchos como participio presente (present
participle), hemos de tener en cuenta las siguiente reglas de ortografía (spelling rules)
1. En la mayoría de verbos basta con añadir -ing.
eat → eating ask → asking go → going
2. Si el verbo acaba en -e , hay que quitar la e antes de añadir -ing.
take→ taking Wake→ waking write→ writing come→ coming
dance→ dancing
3. Si el verbo acaba en -ie, hay que eliminar la ie y añadir -ying
die→ dying tie→ tying lie → lying
4. Si el verbo acaba en vocal + consonante, hay que doblar la consonante antes de
añadir -ing.
stop→ stopping swim → swimming run→ running begin→ beginning
5. Si acaba en -y o -w no doblamos. Esto se debe a que en fonética inglesa la y y la
w se consideran semivocales.
play → playing buy → buying draw → drawing borrow → borrowing

On Saturdays in general, I always go shopping downtown, then I meet with my friends and
colleagues to plan a meeting or party for the night, that night my girlfriend and I arrived and
Laura was going to her home because her little sister was telling her she felt sick.

Later we went to dinner and we were walking through the park and she was telling me that
she wanted to be traveling the world but we had to wait until we passed the quarantine and
that seemed fine to me.
Then we went home to rest until the next morning which we had been planning to go out
for a walk
