Explanation:

- The present continuous tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "be" (am, is, are) followed by the -ing form of the main verb.
- To form the -ing form of a verb:
- For most verbs, simply add -ing (e.g., help → helping).
- If the verb ends in a single consonant preceded by a vowel (and the final consonant is not w, x, or y), double the final consonant before adding -ing (e.g., stop → stopping).
- If the verb ends in -e, drop the -e before adding -ing (e.g., make → making).

This worksheet helps students practice forming and using the present continuous tense correctly.

Final Answer:
\boxed{helping, spending, looking, parking, baking, recycling, riding, talking}
