continuous verbs
To make continuous verbs add -ing to the base verb:
do becomes doing
ask becomes asking
silent 'e'
When the verb ends with a silent e, drop the e and add -ing:
make becomes making
take becomes taking
one-syllable verbs
For short, one-syllable verbs, that end with consonant + vowel + consonant
(CVC), we must double the last consonant and then add -ing:
swim becomes swimming
run becomes running
w, x and y
For words that end w, x and y, do not double the last consonant; just add -ing:
enjoy becomes enjoying
study becomes studying

-ie verbs
For verbs that end in -ie, change the ie to y before adding -ing:
die becomes dying

Present simple
Verbs that end in 'y':
Verbs that end in 'y' often change 'y' to 'ie' before 's':

study becomes studies

try becomes tries

marry becomes marries

fly becomes flies

cry becomes cries

(Be careful! 'y' doesn't change to 'ie' if the ending is 'ay', 'ey', 'oy', 'uy'. So, play
becomes plays, say becomes says, buy becomes buys, enjoy becomes enjoys, stay
becomes stays)

Verbs that end in 'es', 'sh', 'ch', or 'x':


Verbs that end in 's', 'sh', 'ch' or 'x' often add 'e' before 's':

pass becomes passes

wash becomes washes

teach becomes teaches

1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third
person.
go goes
catch catches
wash washes
kiss kisses
fix fixes
buzz buzzes
2. For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add -IES.
marry marries
study studies
carry carries
worry worries
NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S.
