adding ing to verbs worksheet grade 1 2 3 - grammar ing verbs ... - Free Printable

Explanation:
We are asked to add -ing to the end of each verb to make the present participle (used with "is" to form the present continuous tense). Let’s go one by one:

1) walk → walk + ing = walking
2) look → look + ing = looking
3) jump → jump + ing = jumping
4) play → play + ing = playing
5) call → call + ing = calling
6) cut → cut + ing = cutting
- Note: “cut” ends in a consonant after a short vowel, so we double the final consonant before adding -ing.
7) plan → plan + ing = planning
- Same rule: short vowel (a), then single consonant (n), so we double the n → *planning*.

Let’s double-check each:
- walking ✔
- looking ✔
- jumping ✔
- playing ✔
- calling ✔
- cutting ✔ (not *cuting*)
- planning ✔ (not *planing*)

All follow standard spelling rules for adding -ing.

Final Answer:
walking
looking
jumping
playing
calling
cutting
planning
