Present Continuous

ING – форма образуется от первой основной формы глагола (инфинитива) с помощью окончания ing: work+ing=working, help+ing=helping

конечный –е инфинитива, как правило опускается	write smile shine	writing smiling shining
если инфинитив оканчивается на один гласный + один ударный согласный,  то согласная буква удваивается	begin run set	beginning running setting
запомнить, что	lie die tie	lying dying tying
