Verbs And -Ing

Worksheet Description

The “Adding -ing to Verbs” Word Study worksheet is an educational exercise focused on verb conjugation. It directs students to extract verbs from a given reading passage and write them down. The task further instructs students to add “-ing” to these verbs, while also identifying and circling any verbs that require a change before the “-ing” can be added, such as doubling the final consonant or dropping a silent ‘e’.

The objective of this worksheet is to teach students about the present participle form of verbs and the spelling rules associated with adding “-ing”. It helps students practice changing verbs into their “-ing” form, which is useful for constructing continuous tense sentences. The circling element of the task emphasizes learning the specific spelling alterations some verbs undergo in this process. Overall, the worksheet enhances students’ grammatical skills and their understanding of verb tenses and spelling conventions.
