Is the word runing or running ? Is it coming or comming ? Do you know how to spell them? Is there an easy way to know? Yes, there is. I will tell you some rules. I
First of all, do you know what a vowel is? They are the letters A, E, I, O, and U. I
Do you know what a consonant is? They are all of the letters except vowels . B, C, D, F, etc. I
Rule 1 - If a word ends with a vowel and a consonant, you should double the consonant (make another one) before adding -ing. I
Here is an example... run . U is a vowel, N is a consonant. There is only one syllable. So the spelling is run n ing . Also look at the word stop . O is a vowel and P is a consonant. So the spelling is stop p ing . I
Rule 2 - If a word ends with an -e, like the word come , take off the -e and add -ing. The word becomes coming . I
Rule 3 - If the word ends with two vowels and a consonant, like cl ea n , do not double the last letter. Just add -ing. The new word is cleaning . I
Rule 4 - How about a word that ends with two consonants like help ? Just add -ing. The word becomes helping . I
Rule 5 - If a word ends with a -y, like play , just add -ing. The word becomes playing . I
Rule 6 - If a word ends with -ie, like die , change the ie to y and add -ing. The new word becomes dying . I
So the only words that have special changes are words that match rule # 1 and # 6. For everything else, just add -ing. I
