🔍 Explanation:
- The
"-ed" ending is used for the
simple past tense of regular verbs.
- The
"-ing" ending is used for
present participles (e.g., in continuous tenses like "I am talking") or as gerunds (nouns from verbs).
- These verbs are all
regular, so they follow the standard pattern: add
-ed for past and
-ing for present participle.
- Note: Some verbs like "fish" can be tricky because it's a noun too, but here it's used as a verb.
This exercise helps students understand verb conjugation patterns in English, especially for regular verbs.
