Let me work through this worksheet step by step.
Part 1: Adding endings to root words
I need to add -ed, -ing, and -s to each root word:
1.
call → called, calling, calls
2.
love → loved, loving, loves (drop the 'e' before adding -ing)
3.
talk → talked, talking, talks
4.
play → played, playing, plays
5.
work → worked, working, works
6.
walk → walked, walking, walks
7.
jump → jumped, jumping, jumps
8.
lift → lifted, lifting, lifts
Part 2: Underline the root word
Now I need to identify the root word in each word with an ending:
1. singing →
sing + ing
2. reads →
read + s
3. washed →
wash + ed
4. liked →
like + ed
5. feeding →
feed + ing
6. asked →

8. clapping →
clap + ing
9. eats →
