Word Changing

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on the task of adding the suffix ‘-ing’ to a given list of verbs. The worksheet is divided into two columns, with each column containing a list of base form verbs such as ‘score’, ‘place’, ‘hang’, and ‘freeze’. Students are instructed to write the ‘-ing’ form of each verb in the blank spaces provided next to them. The aim is for students to apply the rule of adding ‘-ing’ to the end of each verb to form either the present participle or the gerund form.

The objective of this worksheet is to help students learn how to modify verbs into their continuous tense or gerund form by adding ‘-ing’. It teaches them the spelling changes that occur when forming present participles, such as doubling the final consonant or dropping the ‘e’ before adding ‘-ing’. This exercise also reinforces the pattern of this common verb modification and helps students understand how verbs can be transformed to indicate ongoing actions or states. By completing this worksheet, students practice and solidify their grasp of these important grammatical structures.
