Two Spelling Rules for -ing

 

1) Verbs that end in -e (make / write / drive etc) = take away the -e

 

Make = Making      Write = Writing      Drive = Driving

 

2) If the verb is short and ends in a vowel and a consonant we double the the last letter.

 

Stop = Stopping    Run = Running     Swim = Swimming

 

1. **This does not happen with any verb that ends in a vowel and (y) like play = playing**

 

2. **This does not happen with any verb ending in vowel vowel consonant like need = needing**

 **Island of Echoes reward: Any writing that recieves an 8 or more  = 1 point and 3 gold coins (per student).**

I live in a house in the city. It is a big house. It has got a small garden. It has also got a kitchen, a living room, two bathrooms, three bedrooms and three balconies. My favourite room is my bedroom. It is blue and white and there is a bed next to the window. Under the window is my desk and on the desk are my interesting school books and a green lamp. I love my house.
