I need to help the student complete this worksheet about present tense verbs with '-ing'. Let me work through each verb carefully.
The task is to add "-ing" to each verb and write it after "is".
Let me go through each one:
1) walk → walking
2) look → looking
3) jump → jumping
4) play → playing
5) call → calling
6) cut → cutting
7) plan → planning
Wait, I need to be careful with spelling rules for adding -ing:
- For most verbs, just add -ing (walk→walking, look→looking, jump→jumping, play→playing, call→calling)
- For verbs ending in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, double the final consonant before adding -ing (cut→cutting, plan→planning)
Let me verify each one:
1) walk + ing = walking ✓
2) look + ing = looking ✓
3) jump + ing = jumping ✓
4) play + ing = playing ✓
5) call + ing = calling ✓
6) cut + t + ing = cutting ✓ (double the 't')
7) plan + n + ing = planning ✓ (double the 'n')
All of these follow the correct spelling rules!
Final Answer:
1) walking
2) looking
3) jumping
4) playing
5) calling
6) cutting
7) planning
