Spellingsverandering bij het maken van de -ing-vorm

- Als het werkwoord eindigt op een -e, laat je die weg:

   to lose -- losing; to have -- having 

- Als het werkwoord eindigt op een medeklinker met één klinker ervoor, dan       verdubbel je de medeklinker:

   to hit -- hitting; to get -- getting

                    Dit geldt niet als het werkwoord eindigt op een -w of een -x:

                       to snow -- snowing

- Als het werkwoord eindigt op -ie, verandert dat in -y

   to tie -- tying; to lie -- lying
