Penambahan –ing pada kata kerja
- Bila
sebuah kata kerja terdiri dari satu suku kata dan berakhiran dengan huruf mati
(konsonan) dan didahului oleh huruf hidup (vokal), maka huruf mati tersebut
harus diulang sebelum mendapatkan akhiran –ing.
Contoh
:
sit - sitting
hit - hitting
put - putting
cut - cutting
- Apabila
akhiran –ing ditambahkan dengan kata kerja yang berakhiran dengan –ie, maka
huruf –ie tersebut berubah menjadi ‘y’ lalu ditambahkan –ing.
contoh
:
die - dying
lie - lying
