The use of the "ing"


1) el "ing" se pone al final de una acción para denotar "ando, endo".
Ex:       read (wri..d) (leer) ... Reading (wri..ding) (leyendo).
             speak (spi..k) (habla)...... speaking (spi..king) (hablando).
2) si la acción termina en "e", esta se omite y luego se pone el "ing".
Ex:  give (giv) (dar); giving (giving) (dando).
         live (liv) (vivir) ; living (living) (viviendo).
         have (jav) (tener) ; having (javing) (teniendo).

3) si la acción es de una o dos silabas, termina en consonante, antes de la consonante va una


vocal y además la pronunciación de la ultima silaba es fuerte, entonces la consonante se
duplica y luego se le añade el "ing".
Ex:           stop (stop) (parar, impedir) ........ Stopping.
                 omit (omit) (omitir) ... Omitting.                         
                 run (ron) (correr) ... Running.
                 begin (biguin) (comenzar) ........... Beginning.

4) cuando una acción termine en " e ", pero una " i " vaya antes, entonces se quita primero la
"e ", luego se cambia la  " i " por la " y "  y finalmente se agrega "ing

Ex:               lie (lai) (mentir) ... Lying (laing) .


                     tie (tai) (atar) ... Tying (taing)
