To solve this problem, we need to take each root word and add the suffixes
-s,
-ed, and
-ing to it.
Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each word:
1.
visit:
* Add -s: visits
* Add -ed: visited
* Add -ing: visiting
2.
block:
* Add -s: blocks
* Add -ed: blocked
* Add -ing: blocking
3.
look:

* Add -ing: looking
4.
end:
* Add -s: ends
* Add -ed: ended
* Add -ing: ending
5.
kick:
* Add -s: kicks

* Add -ing: kicking
6.
follow:
* Add -s: follows
* Add -ed: followed
* Add -ing: following
7.
stay:
* Add -s: stays (Note: When a word ends in a vowel + y, just add s)
* Add -ed: stayed
* Add -ing: staying
8.
laugh:
* Add -s: laughs
* Add -ed: laughed

9.
