Worksheet for Grade 3 English students practicing adding the suffix "ing" to verbs.

Let’s go through each word one by one and add “ing” to it. We’ll follow the rules for adding “ing”:

- If a word ends in “e”, we usually drop the “e” before adding “ing”.
- If a short word has one vowel and one consonant at the end (like “run”), we double the last letter before adding “ing”.
- For most other words, just add “ing” directly.

Now let’s do each word:

1. Go → going
2. Come → coming (drop the “e”)
3. Look → looking
4. Say → saying
5. Cycle → cycling (drop the “e”)
6. Ride → riding (drop the “e”)
7. Make → making (drop the “e”)
8. Race → racing (drop the “e”)
9. Bike → biking (drop the “e”)

Right column:

10. Run → running (double the “n”)
11. Shop → shopping (double the “p”)
12. Clap → clapping (double the “p”)
13. Shut → shutting (double the “t”)
14. Win → winning (double the “n”)
15. Sit → sitting (double the “t”)
16. Order → ordering
17. Travel → traveling (or travelling — both are correct, but we’ll use “traveling” as it’s common in US English)
18. Begin → beginning (double the “n”)

Final Answer:
Go → going
Come → coming
Look → looking
Say → saying
Cycle → cycling
Ride → riding
Make → making
Race → racing
Bike → biking
Run → running
Shop → shopping
Clap → clapping
Shut → shutting
Win → winning
Sit → sitting
Order → ordering
Travel → traveling
Begin → beginning
